[opensuse-marketing] LinuxFest Northwest in Bellingham Washington?
by M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Is there going to be an openSUSE presence at LinuxFest NW this year? http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/present.html. I'm still trying to decide whether to go or not. If I do, it will probably be for some of the PostgreSQL / blktrace stuff I'm doing. It's an easy train ride from here (Portland) and a few of my friends are going. -- M. Edward (Ed) Borasky I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Linuxtag CFP
by Martin Lasarsch 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi See my posting on news.o.o: http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/linuxtag-2009-cfp/ some ideas: - laptop talk, no matter which event, this seems to be interesting for the people. Maybe this could be extended this year to focus a little bit more on Netbooks, or is the hype already over? :-) - digital cameras/photo management with linux, Marcus made this talk 2 years ago, interesting, everybody have a digicam and want to know the programs/options ... - it's in June, and whenever we release 11.2 it might be a good chance to give an overview of whats coming up -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services Phone: +49 911 74053 181 Mobile: +49 173 587 67 25 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

28 Jan '09

Posted here: http://zonker.opensuse.org/2009/01/27/what-would-you-say-about-opensuse-at-… Interested in feedback for the presentation I'll be doing at FOSDEM - what would you like to know about openSUSE if you were in the audience? What would you want to say if you were giving the presentation? I'd like to build a presentation that will be something anyone can give, so it'll be going up on the openSUSE wiki (with notes) for long term use. Suggestions welcome. Hope to have the first cut up on the wiki by the weekend.

[opensuse-marketing] Translations proposal
by Alpdrücken Von Krieg 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hi to all I've adapted this format to the translations section in the Spanish news, I hope this new Idea as the previous one may be included in the main news, and be useful to others. Here is the new code: ==Translations== {{Sablon:PointHere|[[Image:Icon-locale.png|48px]]| [[:en:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/56 | English]] [[:de:OpenSUSE-Wochenschau/56 | Deutsch]] [[:es:OpenSUSE_Noticias_Semanales/56 | Español]] [[:ja:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/56 | 日本語]] [[:ru:%D0%95%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8_openSUSE/56 | Русский]] [[:pl:Tygodnik_openSUSE/56 | Polski]] [[:pt:Not%C3%ADcias_da_semana_no_openSUSE/56 | Português]] [[:en:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/56/indonesian | Indonesia]] [[:hu:OpenSUSE_Heti_H%C3%ADrmond%C3%B3/56 | Magyar]] [[:it:OpenSUSE_Newsletter_Settimanale/56 | Italiano]] }} This gives as result the same it did before but one exception, the current weekly news language option (viewed page) is not shown as a link but as black text (Like showing the page you're in).

[opensuse-marketing] feature stats in weekly news
by Thomas Schmidt 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, I think it would be a good idea to add weekly statistics from features.opensuse.org to the statistic section of the newsletter. For example how many features are in which state for 11.2. As we will have voting for features soon, we could also show the most popular features. What do you think about this?

[opensuse-marketing] Weekly News suggestion

25 Jan '09

Hi folks! When linking to en wiki during the news you could put :en: before the link, specially the Credits section, for example: * [[User:Dl9pf|Jan-Simon Möller]] (Chief-Editor) could be: * [[:en:User:Dl9pf|Jan-Simon Möller]] (Chief-Editor) which gets the right link in localized versions. Another example: * [http://ru.opensuse.org/Участник:Eri_zaq Dinar Valeev] (GNOME Section in New/updated Applications @ OpenSUSE) could be: * [[:ru:Участник:Eri_zaq|Dinar Valeev] (GNOME Section in New/updated Applications @ OpenSUSE) Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Sections mess in WeeklyNews56
by Александр Мелентьев 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

I suggest to discuss one topic about article's arrangment in OWN#56, especially two sections: Tips and Tricks (TnT) and On The Web (OTW). What are the criterias to appoint some article to the first or to the latter? In #56 they both have an article from susegeek.com: OTW has DivFix, which is more related to Tips, vice versa TnT has Kdenlive, which is not really a tip or trick, but a review on a tool, more likely to see in OTW. Even more: both TnT and OTW have Sascha's manuals in - Calendar import in TnT and Flashrom in OTW - what is the BIG difference in here? I think this clue needs some sorting out up for the next issue... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Proposal - minor improvement to the new layout of openSUSE Weekly News.
by Satoru Matsumoto 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi @Members of Weekly News Team ! We adopted new layout pattern for openSUSE Weekly News from issue #56 and I like it very much. But I feel a little tight in its look & feel. So I want to propose below: Just insert <br><br> between articles, when the sections have plural articles and those articles have their "Details". I modified the issue #56 and put it on the Talk page: http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/56 I like the modified page better, and I'd like to adopt this pattern for the Japanese issue. How do you all think about it ?

[opensuse-marketing] Announcing weekly-news-translation-tool v0.0.3
by Jan-Simon Möller 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi @all! I've updated the weekly-news-translation-tool. Now we've 2 versions: * weekly-news-translation-tool * weekly-news-translation-tool-web Release notes: ############## weekly-news-translation-tool ---------------------------- This is the known tool. It imports the en.txt file and the translation.ini present in the current folder and exchanges the predefined strings. New: With "-a" you can switch the mode to replace _ALL_ occurrences of a string ! The default mode is still to exchange only the first occurrence. Example: weekly-news-translation-tool JP weekly-news-translation-tool -a JP weekly-news-translation-tool-web -------------------------------- This new script is able to load the text directly from the wiki and doesn't need the en.txt to be present in the current folder. Nevertheless the translate.ini has still to be present in the current folder. The "-a" switch works in this version, too. Example: weekly-news-translation-tool JP 51 weekly-news-translation-tool -a JP 51 The tool is available here: http://software.opensuse.org/search/?q=weekly-news (version 0.0.3 !) A current translate.ini is included as /usr/share/doc/packages/weekly-news-translation-tool/example/translate.ini . The script should work also with the news template, but some strings might need some adjustment. HAVE PHUN!
