[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

[opensuse-marketing] Dutch Social Network Hyves openSUSE Account
by Thoar Varenkamp 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello everyone! With the upcoming openSUSE 11.2 around the corner I have decided to make an account on the Dutch social network site Hyves. Since there was no openSUSE account on this social network, I do feel (and think) that openSUSE should be represented on this social network. Specially since Dutch citizens are more familiar with this one, rather than the other social networks. Therefore, I would like to ask the following things. Is it able to use the openSUSE logo as avatar? Or is it able to get approval to use the logo on the account? What about other pictures and/or photos with openSUSE on it? Because if I am not mistaken, Novell has the copyrights of the openSUSE logo. Another aspect is, what kind of content should be placed? What kind of content is allowed to be placed? (copyright?) Should news of openSUSE be stressed, or practical information, or anything else? My personal view would be to give general and practical information (to those new to openSUSE of searching for openSUSE / why one should choose openSUSE) and news (to those who are already aware of openSUSE). With emphasis on the upcoming openSUSE 11.2. Any input would be great. And if there are other Dutch openSUSE users willing to help, you are more than welcome :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Extension:Social Bookmarking
by Shayon 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello everyone, While i was surfing through some websites and blogs,I found an interesting item named:Social Bookmarking.Then i thought of making it add in our Wiki(openSUSE).But i saw that its not showing the appearance as it needs to show.So after a bit of research i found an Extension:Social Bookmarking,Which i suppose is missing.Its just my opinion to have this on our wiki. As it would help us in few ways listed below: 1)To spread the word- 2)Editors/Readers who feel that the Articles needs to be read by all can use them fully- 3)It may also attract non-openSUSE users - and you never know ,They may switch to openSUSE by just reading few articles posted by the Editors/Readers to there social networking account :). Also this would be a major step towards marketing of the product :) Some of the websites which use it are : - http://quarterwiki.com/Main-Page - http://fivedollarwiki.com/Main_Page - http://onebuckwiki.com/ I just made my opinion over here :) Best, Shayon -- openSUSE Wiki Team Member http://en.opensuse.org/User:Wwarlock Website: http://www.shay0n.hpage.com Email: hkwarlock(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

I don't know exactly whether openSUSE project already has a plan to attend the show somehow or not, though, if not yet, this is where YOU come in, Ambassadors in Germany ! ;-) Note: Since it is mentioned in the article, 'Only *noncommercial* projects with a strong connection to Linux or Open Source will be considered for a booth sponsored by CeBIT Open Source and Linux New Media', this should be done by openSUSE community members instead of by Novell persons(of course, Novell employee can be involved if they participate as one of the openSUSE community members). ;-) Best, -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.geeko.jp/author/heliosreds _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

by Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Just a quick note that I've updated the Sneak Peek draft page for 11.2, hopefully we can start collecting ideas now and not end up in the situation we did last year where we rushed out a few articles days before the launch. http://en.opensuse.org/Sneak_Peeks Included on the page is six proposed articles, each with proposed release times. Feel free to tweak around. All comments, concerns, questions and restraining orders welcome. -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy openSUSE Project Member www.twitter.com/KevinDupuy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] FOSS.IN
by Koushik Nundy 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

There's this event FOSS.IN, probably the largest of it's kind in the country. It just released it's call for participation (http://foss.in/news/fossincfp-2009.html) The call for speakers/sponsors/delegates opened sometime this week. If interested in sponsoring, someone in authority might want to contact them (http://foss.in/contact) . I might be going as a delegate, but am not yet sure, as I may have exams. If anyone would come as a speaker, they will be accomodated, maybe even sponsored in some cases. If possible, do come (especially developers), even if only as a delegate[Registration fees for delegates: INR 500(Student), 600(Individual) & 2500(Corporate, i.e. you represent a company)]. INR 46 ~ US$ 1. There is also space for stalls. As far as I know, it's primary focus is coding and development, not use. As I am not very informed and have never attended, I think it might be better to see the site if you are interested. -- Koushik Kumar Nundy B.Tech, ECE Final year NIT Durgapur India. http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in http://kknundy.blogspot.com http://en.opensuse.org/ http://twitter.com/kknundy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Tweet-slators
by Bryen M Yunashko 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

As each of our lists of followers grow on Twitter, Identi.ca, etc and more international, we should start thinking of ways to simplify re-tweeting for our followers to quickly pick up on. I just picked up and retweeted a spanish version of today's 11.2 RC1 announcement knowing that I have some Spanish-language followers who could easily retweet that and spread it around to their followers. For major announcements and such, we should probably form a team of translators (tweet-slators?) so we can send out tweets in multiple languages.

[opensuse-marketing] Self-Introduction - openSUSE Community Assistant
by Rupert Horstkötter 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi, please let me introduce myself. My name is Rupert, I'm 28 and I'm currently on the home stretch of studying business administration and electrical engineering at Darmstadt University of Technology. I've been involved with the openSUSE Project for several years. I served as the Project Manager of the openSUSE Forums Merge, I initiated the openSUSE Forums section at the openSUSE Weekly Newsletter and I contributed as a moderator at the openSUSE Forums to the openSUSE community. I was employed twice at Novell/SUSE - as an Intern in Product Management in 2007/2008 and as a Workstudent for Community Architecture in 2008/2009. As of the 1st of October 2009, I'm sponsored by open-slx.com to work for the openSUSE Project as openSUSE Community Assistant. I'm really looking forward to collaborate with several openSUSE teams on improving openSUSE documentation and community resources - namely the openSUSE wiki, the openSUSE Forums, the SDB and other support information for openSUSE. My current focus is to work on a concept for the openSUSE wiki to improve the content quality, to enhance its usability and to improve its maintainability. Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-marketing] Fwd: Distro Summit 2010: call for papers extended until 18 Oct 2009
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

It'd be great if we had anyone close by who could attend. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: martin f krafft <madduck(a)madduck.net> Date: Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 6:05 AM Subject: Distro Summit 2010: call for papers extended until 18 Oct 2009 To: distributions(a)lists.freedesktop.org Please redistribute this call for papers. The deadline has been extended to 18 Oct 2009. =============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Distro Summit 2010 is a one-day technical conference with a strong focus on collaboration between Free Software distributions hosted at the linux.conf.au 2010. We are looking for proposals from any Free Software distribution, from the typical full distributions (both linux and non-linux) to the niche market derivatives. In spite of the strong focus on collaboration between Free Software distributions, topics may include packaging, maintenance, relationship with upstream developers, release management and QA. For more informtion, please visit: http://distrosummit.org. Important dates =============== * Call for papers ends: Wednesday 18 October 2009 * Announcing the schedule: Friday 2 October 2009 * Conference begins: Monday 18 January 2010 Presentation types ================== We will accept proposals for: * 25 minute standard-length presentations; * 50 minute long presentations. Session lengths include time for audience questions. We intend for standard-length presentation to make up the vast majority of our presentations. If you plan on submitting a proposal for a long presentation, a willingness to present a standard-length presentation will impact positively on your proposal. Submit a proposal ================= To submit your proposal, we'll need the following information: * Your name, contact details and a short biography; * Your proposal title; * Intended audience; * An abstract; * Presentation outline; * Presentation type (standard-length or long). To submit a proposal, or get more information, please write to cfp(a)distrosummit.org. Unfortunately, we cannot offer sponsorship for speakers. About the Distro Summit ======================= The Distro Summit 2010 is a one-day developer conference with a strong focus on collaboration between free software distributions hosted at the linux.conf.au 2010 (http://www.lca2010.org.nz) In addition to a schedule of technical, social and policy talks, the Distro Summit provides an opportunity for developers, contributors and other interested people to meet in person and work together more closely. Previous similar events have featured speakers from around the world. They have also been extremely beneficial for developing key free software software components and for improving collaboration and sharing between the different distributions. Target Audience =============== The Distro Summit is (mainly) a technical event, but this does not mean that the only target audience are developers and maintainers of free software distributions: the event will feature talks that range from the development to real-world use cases, going through marketing and the social aspects of the maintenance of free software distributions. -- Martin Krafft on the behalf of the Distro Summit organizers _______________________________________________ Distributions mailing list Distributions(a)lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier <jzb(a)zonker.net> openSUSE Community Manager: http://zonker.opensuse.org Blogs: http://blogs.zdnet.com/community | http://www.dissociatedpress.net Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb http://identi.ca/group/opensuse/members -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Linux Day 2009 - Rome (Italy)
by Mariano Iumiento 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi all. Just for info, I'm going to host a session and a booth at the Rome based 'Linux Day 2009' event, a yearly event that is held since 9 years in more than 100 cities in Italy simultaneously (www.linuxday.it) organized by LUGs with the supervision of the Italian Linux Society (ILS: www.linux.it) This year the organizing LUG has requested to develop sessions for tech guys, and for example the openSUSE presentation I'm working on is targeting to show what the distro can be used for within professional environment (obviously, after having 'presented' openSUSE itself). I'll be using a couple of nice Posters at the booth (thanks gnokii for your work! :-)) and will be distributing also promo DVDs, and there is also a plan for burning cd/dvds in the event that all dvds will finish. In addition, for this year I've been asked to help in hosting FAQ sessions for newbies as well. As usual, the Ambassador/Events and the User:Miumiento/Events pages have been modified to include this event as well. There are blog posts going around, and there is a Facebook group as well, all linking to the organizer page with all the details. I'll keep you updated about the used documents, pictures, results, etc. Ciao. -- Mariano Iumiento miumiento [at] gmail [dot] com openSUSE Marketing Team LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/miumiento -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Comments on Trademark Guidelines?
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi all, it's been a while since we talked Trademarks. We're getting closer to 11.2 and so it's time to think about any revisions to the trademark guidelines. If you have any comments, please send them to me directly. I'll summarize the comments that I get and we'll go from there. Feel free to discuss on the list, but I am not making any commitment to try to collect comments out of a long discussion thread. :-) So, if you have thoughts on how the trademark guidelines should be improved, please send to me directly. I'm also not promising that every suggestion will be taken, but now that we've had the guidelines for nearly a year, we have some idea how well (or not) they're working. In particular, would be interested in: * Are there typical use cases that should be allowed, that aren't? * Are there abuses we should be concerned about? * What sections are still confusing?

The organizators have chosen 8 out of hundreds of proposals. The huge number of proposals is the reason why they missed the scheduled date for answering the approval on September the 15th and instead the approval has arrived on October the 4th. The event schedule is now expecting to have a couple of Ministers (Bondi and Brunetta) attending the event, in addition to University professors and researcher, plus some R&D staff and local government representatives. The congress is not 'free of charge' but there is an entrance fee for the three days of 120 € (150 € if you also want to partecipate to a group dinner).

[opensuse-marketing] Suggestion for Ambassador program - Media
by John Lange 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

I'm new to the Ambassador program and I know something with regard to media is already in place so please excuse any redundancy in this suggestion. When promoting OpenSUSE (or any OS/software), I find that having nicely packaged media to give away makes a huge difference in peoples perceptions. For example, if I burn a bunch of copies of OpenSUSE myself and try to give them away, few people take is seriously and I suspect mostly then end up in the trash. It's understandable really, would you trust software handed to you on a burnt DVD from a stranger? But nicely packaged in shrink wrap, you feel like you really got something. Even the people who never use it are likely to hang onto it longer and it acts as advertising. So, IMHO I feel that giving away OpenSUSE media is one of the best ways of doing promotion. Can someone fill me in on the details of the current ambassador/media program (if any).

May I suggest an ambassador's list rather than IRC. Narrow meeting times on IRC always mean that several have difficulty being there. For instance, for me this latest meeting time is 4 am sunday morning local time. IRC is great for chatty stuff but not for meetings that are global in their effect. There is nothing done on IRC that can't be done on a mailing list. Some structures have to be put in place in terms of procedures to make the mail-list work for some things, but that's not hard. Mail-lists make for more fullsome and reasoned discussions, IRC's structure militates against that, it's a chat space not a forum for discussion. Now I'm all for being one of the "doers" but not if it means having to be at the keyboard at 4 am trying to make some sort of sense. Use a mail-list, write up some parliamentary procedures to allow democratic processes (I can do a draft, it won't be "Roberts Rules of Order for mail-lists" but it will be usable) and forget IRC, It's too chaotic, usable time frame is too small, getting a quorum is often extremely difficult if you use proper procedures and if you don't then decision making is ruled by one geographical area. And don't say "Oh we'll spread the meeting times around", from experience with other projects, 0400 UTC means the Europeans don't turn up and the west coasters are too tired 0800 UTC is OK for me and Europe but the US stays away or if people do turn up they always have to be somewhere else very shortly.

[opensuse-marketing] [Ambassador] Toward improving the Ambassador program
by Satoru Matsumoto 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

The openSUSE Ambassador program[1] was launched in May and many Ambassadors are registered on the Ambassador List[2] now. Thanks to those, who are working hard on promoting openSUSE in their area on a daily basis ! However, there still remains much works to do in order to make this program more effective and there are some problems to be solved. The necessity of improving Ambassador program was discussed in the latest openSUSE Conference - unfortunately, I couldn't be there :-( - and some thought, *"Now is the time to start improving the program !"* To start with, some volunteers have organized 'Task Force for Improving Ambassador Program' and had a kick-off meeting on #opensuse-marketing channel last Saturday[3]. After the meeting, I summarized topics to be discussed hereafter and some draft plans[4]. Please read through the topics there and join the task force if you are interested in. Note: At this moment, persons who will shoulder a burden - in other words, who are willing to say "Is there anything I can do ?" - are strongly needed instead of the persons who just say "Will you do me a favor". Because the task force itself doesn't mean to offer supports to each Ambassador. The next meeting will take place tomorrow (Saturday October 3rd) at 16:00 UTC. See all time zones on the Fixed Time World Clock[5]. The meeting will be held in IRC on the #opensuse-marketing channel on Freenode. Not familiar with IRC ? A good overview can be found at irchelp.org. This site is not affiliated with openSUSE. For more information on Freenode, see http://freenode.net/. Even if you won't be able to join the meeting at that time, you can still add your comments and opinions to the Q&A Section on the meeting page[6] or directly to the "Ambassador/Improving Anbassador Program" page[4]. I hope more people will become interested in the issue and join the task force.

However, in order to stand at the start line, someone needs to push the button. I hope you will be involved in this issue and lead the task hereafter.
