[opensuse-marketing] Microblogging / Laconica
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi all, Over the break, someone made the suggestion that we might want to consider setting up a Laconica server for openSUSE members / contributors. Any thoughts? I know that many people on the list are already using Twitter / Identi.ca. We really need to encourage as much blogging / online activity around openSUSE as possible, and it seems to me that we *might* be able to encourage openSUSE contributors to do something under 140 characters where we have trouble convincing them to post longer blogs. Thoughts? Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager jzb(a)zonker.net http://zonker.opensuse.org/ http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Next Weekly Newsletter Team Meeting - Topics
by Jan-Simon Möller 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi @all! Issue 53 is out and i've some topics and questions for the next meeting to discuss: Schedule - I think the longer timeframe is good, but we should release (at least en) on monday night. @Zonker, what do you mean ? - The proposals to release the en newsletter as soon as its ready are good, but what about the language-links then ? They are messed-up then. We either have to insert links always when finished (and in all languages ... ooch), or create a page linking to the latest issues for each $LANG. - Thats not optimal IMHO. I'd rather include as much $LANG in the announcements. Ready Table - What do you think about this: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Translations/Ready#Issue_54 ? - It's easy to understand and WYSIWYG even in the wiki. Full / Light - I liked the Hungarian Template and the Idea of an "light" version - if there's not much time or man-power. - Thats ok IMHO, we just need to do some polishing and rules to make it equal across languages. I've also in mind to rework the main template: some graphics as in the "light" template or perhaps some pics. Lets discuss these now and rule it out on Saturday.

[opensuse-marketing] Hungarian Weekly News Light version
by Kálmán Kéménczy 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi All, I just would like to inform the Weekly News Team that hopefully I will work on the Hungarian version of the openSUSE Weekly News (openSUSE Heti Hírmondó) in the future. However I do not plan to translate everything from the News (so this is why I call it Light version). IMHO if I translate the summarize of the blog entry or the article the Hungarian readers will wondering why the whole thing is in English behind it. The 2nd reason: I have not enough time to do that. But I think this is better than nothing and you will like it too: http://hu.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Heti_H%C3%ADrmond%C3%B3/53 cheers kalman

[opensuse-marketing] Inconsistent state of translators
by Piotrek Juzwiak 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Seeing that not everyone can sometimes translate on time i propose publishing what is finished with a note that certain translations are delayed, if we would wait till every translation is finished then we'd realize that many news we post are old and thus the reason for weekly news fades. I understand it's harder to maintain it the more translations we got but we need to have "hard" deadline. So that people will know that they can expect weekly news on certain date. By the way, are statistics really so important:) I think just a minority pays attention to them as they read the weekly news for news and not for statistics or i might be wrong and some heat while reading them:) Everything is up to discuss it of course and what i wrote is my personal thought so no one has to agree with it, what i mean is we need some hard rules here like everywhere else.

[opensuse-marketing] Proposal for the Weekly Newsletter schedule.
by Satoru Matsumoto 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi @Weekly Newsletter Team Guys, I want to make a proposal for the future Weekly Newsletter schedule. Step 1. Deadline: Wednesday 21:00(UTC) Responsible Person(s): Main/en editors To Do: - Put the Draft of the upcoming issue to the Wiki, if possible. - Continue their work on editing. Step 2. Deadline: - Responsible Person(s): Translators To Do: - Start translating, if possible. Step 3. Deadline: Thursday 21:00(UTC) Responsible Person(s): Main/en editors To Do: - Complete editing the Main/en issue. - Set "ready" table on the Wiki. - Post the "translation ready" announcement and the changelog since the draft (at step 1) to the -marketing list. - If the editing is not finished, post the schedule for completion to the -marketing list instead, and continue their work on editing. Step 4. # Skip this step if the Main/en issue is completed until Thursday # 21:00(UTC) Deadline: - Responsible Person(s): Main/en editors To Do: - Post the "translation ready" announcement and the changelog since the draft (at step 1) to the -marketing list as soon as editing is finished. Step 5. Deadline: Friday 21:00(UTC) Responsible Person(s): Translators To Do: - Complete translating and put the translated issue on their Wiki. - Report the status to the“ready”table. - If translation is delayed, put the template for "NotTranslated" (see: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Translation_Guide#Templates ) on their Wiki at least [1] and continue translating. Step 6. Deadline: Friday 21:00(UTC) Responsible Person(s): Main/en editors To Do: - Check the status in the“ready”table. - Post the "Now out!" announcement to the opensuse and -announce lists anyway.[2] Step 7. Deadline: - Responsible Person(s): Translators To Do: - After the translated issue is ready, post the "Now out!" announcement in their language to their own list.[3] [1] Translators are responsible for that. If they can't do so, they should ask someone - may be Weekly Newsletter team - to do so in their place. [2] Anyway, the newest issue will be published in weekend without waiting for completion of translating. [3] I know translators have their own jobs or schedules and sometimes cannot start translating soon. They should not be blamed for that. But the translated issues are not for the people who can read English issue with no difficulty. They don't need to wait for completion of translating. So, the Main/en issue should be published as soon as possible. If some translations are delayed, translators for those languages can post the "Now out!" announcements in their language to their own list *after* the translations are ready. This is just my proposal and any opinions are welcome. Sorry for my broken English and hope you can understand what I want to explain.
