[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Count Down, T-14 ?
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi all, We are here in Jakarta Indonesia (GMT+7) now on June 19, 2008. This morning I've checked out the countdown counter on http://www.opensuse.or.id and find out the counter display T-14. What is T-14 stand for ? Is this related with Pascal Bleser noticed last day about the words for "openSUSE 11.0 is now available, download now !" or something like that ? I've checked http://en.opensuse.org/Countdown also and found similar display (yes, of course, because the first link are taken content from the second :-D ) -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi I created http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing/Presentation where you can find the latest official openSUSE template and a openSUSE 11.0 presentation as "source" and not pdf ... If you have your own presentations, have improvements etc., feel free to add your stuff. -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

by Andrew Wafaa 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Just to let people know, my proposed talk for LRL has been accepted. The downside is that it is slated for the graveyard slot: 15:00 on Sunday 20th July on the lightning stage I am still more than happy to present though. Also Roger Whitaker from Novell UK will be there doing a small booth which I will help with, any other help would be appreciated though :) Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: GNOME Team. awafaa(a)opensuse.org | http://opensuse.org/GNOME openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org http://www.wafaa.eu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] missing links on www.o.o
by Martin Lasarsch 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi IMHO the startpage is missing to much options the user have. We offer beside download/wiki/obs a lot of other services which should be promoted better. I miss news, lizards and the forum. Maybe there are other pages missing ... The challenge is not to break the clear design. My proposal: make the 3 sections/icons we have now a little bit smaller in the height and make a second row to add news/lizards/forum. Other ideas, or is everbody happy with the page as we have it today? -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Video advertisment
by Angel Llosá 18 Jun '08

To do something viral, I think it have to be easy to watch or read (video or lot of images, and not too long) and easy to transfer to other people. An approach can be a short video (2 minutes, no more), like a TV advertisement, that resumes the new features that come with the new openSUSE release, like the new installer, new GTK Yast software manager, KDE4 integration, compiz (of course) and something more. And all these with slogans and music. I think it can be more effective to take a first impression than a screencast, wiki docs or something else. The only problem I see is to do it with free tools. ¿Knows anyone software for Linux to do this? *PD*: Sorry for the response to the topic "openSUSE counter -1 on release day?" with this message! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] ideas

Hello, i'm a french openSUSE user since 9.3, i read today the news about marketing openSuse and subscribed to this list. Is there any summary of the needs, of the projects ? Just in case : Today i found up two things that'd certainly help a lot making more known Suse : 1- a ) good printed documentation given in the boxes (loks like it used to be bigger than nowadays ) , b ) plus this documentation being translated (my aunt does not have a computer and for sure will never ever speak english ;=) ) 2- know clearly what is done with the money when we buy an openSuse box. If i can be of any help, please tell me. Fabrice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE counter -1 on release day?
by Michael Loeffler 17 Jun '08

Hi, do I count wrong or the counter? The counter will count down today to 1 and tomorrow to 0. When it will be down to zero the world still needs to wait another day till openSUSE 11.0 release. Assuming I count correctly we should add one day to be down to zero on release day and not one day erlier, shouldn't we?
