[opensuse-marketing] Post-launch open week
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hi all, Promoting openSUSE 11.2 is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. Meaning: We have to push the launch, but also need to keep promoting openSUSE 11.2 and the project well after the launch. In that spirit, we talked about doing another open week following the launch. The week of December 6th seems like the best time. Instead of trying to do a really hectic schedule as we did last time, it might be wiser to try to do two or three things per day. So we need to find people to lead a limited set of sessions. What kind of sessions should we target for this open week? Some ideas here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom Note that Fedora has their release the week after 11.2. We might reach out to the Fedora peeps and see if they want to co-host some sessions on common technologies or whatnot.

[opensuse-marketing] Drive the openSUSE DVD cover discussion!
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi all, The DVD cover selection has been excellent at engaging people so far. Please take a few minutes to blog about it and mention it on Twitter, Identi.ca, and Facebook! Here's a quick and easy RT: RT @opensuse: Vote for the #openSUSE DVD Cover http://bit.ly/3WkVh7 Also: RT @ostatic There Can Be Only One: Choose the #openSUSE DVD Cover http://tinyurl.com/ycf8k2q Please link to this post: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/2009/11/05/opensuse-dvdcd-cover-art-opinion… Short blog posts are great. Also, feel free to encourage voting for your favorite cover, but PLEASE no negativity. A few comments have been snippy about one or the other designs, and that's just wrong -- people have worked very hard and produced really great designs. Even if they're not your cup of tea, they all deserve respect. Thanks!

Re: VOTE TODAY [Was: [opensuse-marketing] 11.2 DVD Cover Mock-up]
by Koushik Kumar Nundy 05 Nov '09

1 is very sober, but a bit too spartan. 3 is more appealing, but suggests a 11.1 hangover. Also a bit too crowded maybe. both 1 and 3 look good, but something in between could do great, I suppose. Also, why F-spot suddenly? something more recognisable to the casual user might help more. Say, ff3.5 or a KDE screenshot. 1 has 'Sponsored by Novell' written, but with no logo. Also, no list of included stuff, only suggestive icons. -- 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

I vote for #1 from jimmac. There is an understated coolness about it and it looks almost menacing.
