[opensuse-marketing] Request Support for FLISOL
by llastra＠severus.cl 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi! My name is Luis Lastra member of the LUGOS Chile user group, Concepción, Chile and I want to know if there's any chance to get some sponsor or support (DVD's and stuff) for a great show for the latin america community called FLISOL (http://www.flisol.cl/2009/) It's a great spot to show to new ,old, enterprise and goverment users the versatility and power of OpenSuse. By the way, the show is all around the country in almost every region (12) [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regiones_de_Chile] and I know that there's a few more users asking for the same thing from my Country. We're in touch and trying to make this to work (Ricardo Varas as example). ¿Is there any chance to get a "big one package" from you guys (if you find this usefull for the community) and make ourselves the distribution in our Country? Thanks in advance. Best regards. -- Atte. Luis Lastra C.

[opensuse-marketing] [OWN] Nice thread explaining the use of the word openSUSE
by Luiz Fernando Ranghetti 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi folks! On the opensuse-translation list there was a nice thread explaing the correct use of the word openSUSE: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-translation/2009-02/msg00050.html AJ says that openSUSE is written without the "o" capitalized, always. We should make use of this in the newsletter, even if the articles use writes different (OpenSUSE, etc) 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] Weekly News: New Section
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello Weekly News Team, yesterday i called with Jan-Simon. He says me that a new Section is wished from the different Projects. (Idea was from Bryen (suseRocks). So i created an new Template for them. The new Section is called "Projects Corner". The template can be found at: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/ProjectsCorner . The Projects Corner can be published one per month. So the Projects can be publish own Articles, that can't be found at Mailinglists and IRC. I've created the Template 3 Corners: KDE, GNOME and Education. Every Time if an Project has an Article ready, they can post it to the Marketing List. We are publishing this in the Projects Corner. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Lässt sich wirklich schlecht lesen. > > Danke für eine Verbesserung. > > > Klaus Hi Klaus, hi @all! I slept a night over it. Lets summarize my toughts. We use/used this rule of thumb: normal - own notes/texts/parts/sections (e.g. done by editors or defaults) italics - "cited" stuff (e.g. taken from blog posts) bold - Headlines, special stuff, ... I think its important to show the difference between "own" and "cited". We could switch "normal" and "italics" meaning - but thats needs some thoughts/discussion first. Personally found the currently used splitting "natural" - but thats my impression. Lets take the decision as topic for the next meeting. @openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team: please reply with your thoughts @Klaus: Tnx for your feedback.

Hi all, Time is running out to submit talks for LinuxTag. If you'd like to submit something openSUSE related, please do so by February 28th. The call for papers can be found here: http://www.linuxtag.org/2009/en/program/call-for-papers.html The entire text of the presentation does not need to be submitted by Saturday, so you'll have time to revise as LinuxTag gets closer.

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekily News] Icon for Editors Note
by Satoru Matsumoto 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

@Weekly News team As we told at the last IRC meeting, I looked for icons for Editors Note. Please see the draft: [1] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.231 [2] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.232 [3] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.233 [1] and [2] are simle, but they look very much like the icon for "Wiki / Communication / Events" in "Status Updates"(*). * http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/58#Wiki_.2F_Communication_.2F_E… So I myself want to recommend [3]. Comments are welcome, and if you can find another better icons, please add to the drafts.
