[opensuse-marketing] Proposals for financing from the openSUSE marketing budget in 2010
by Strainu 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi, At the openSUSE Conference, Zonker said that he wishes for the community to help him decide what events will be financed from the Marketing budget in 2010. I wanted to know if you guys have decided when and how will we be able to submit proposals for this selection process?

Hi Ricardo, The background colors of the cover use the standard colors of openSUSE and therefore if i put the logo without a diferent background color then its not easy recognised. For that reason the plain white gecko is there (it can be a white circle too or something like that if wanted). Just check a test of the cover without the white background behind the logo http://ragecryx.googlepages.com/openSUSE_11.2_DVDWrap_NEW_testest.png Only "SUSE" is 100% visible, the rest of the logo "blends" with the background colors.

[opensuse-marketing] Social Networking Mini-Hackfest
by Bryen M Yunashko 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

With 11.2 coming up and a number of us feeling our way around with existing and new social network services, I think now is a good time for us to plan on having an online Hackfest to cover all our bases. At the openSUSE Conference, we discussed a number of things we should be doing during some of our Marketing sessions. We identified that we really need to start re-tweeting each other on the microblogging sites. We also identified that we should start creating a directory on the wiki listing all of us who participate in social networking services and what our account names are so we can follow each other. So, I'd like to propose a mini Hackfest day possibly for this coming Tuesday, November 3rd to tackle all of this and any other new ideas people have. Let's come up with an optimal time of day that most of us can be online. Alrighty?

[opensuse-marketing] Announcements localization
by Kálmán Kéménczy 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi Joe, Is it possible to get the announcements 1-2 days before their release to translate them? I really like the way how Mozilla do. Their announcements release same time on 10-30 different languages (regarding volunteers work). Without synchronized release, the online press get the English versions and the (mis)translate or cut them. If we have localized versions on the same time they could use that one. thanks kalman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
