[opensuse-marketing] Yearly slogan or catch-phrase for openSUSE community
by Satoru Matsumoto 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi listmates ! We have a very good motto "Have a lot of fun !" for the project & community and of course I like it very much. However, I came up with an idea: "Why don't we have another *yearly* slogan or catch-phrase for openSUSE community ?" I'm one of the supporters of Urawa Red Diamonds, which is a famous football(soccer) club in Japan. The club has a yearly slogan every year, for example: "Go foward, Hands in Hands !" <- last year "Devotion to Urawa" <- this year If we replace Urawa with openSUSE - "Devotion to openSUSE" - don't you think that can be a slogan for us, people who love and contribute to openSUSE ? So, I want offer my draft. - Every year-end, we make a contest for the next year's openSUSE community catch-phrase. - Phase 1: Subscription - first half of December Community members can nominate their candidate for the next year's catch-phrase. - Phase 2: Election - second half of December Community members can vote for their most favorite catch-phrase from among candidates. - Phase 3: Result presentation and award - End of the year Election winner will be announced and the auther will be given an award. - The yearly catch-phrase can be used by any community members for community activities, for example, posters, banners, T-shirts, stickers, etc. I think this contest would be very easy to participate for every community members and therefore be fairly useful to unify all community members. The procedure is similar in the one for YaST mascot contest we had last year, but we need an election system for this contest and I don't have a good idea for that. However, I hope some of you are interested in this idea and offer solutions for it.

[opensuse-marketing] Building up openSUSE page on OStatic
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi all, Not sure how many folks on this list read OStatic -- it's a blog in the GigaOM network that's been gaining in popularity. I post there occasionally, not quite as often as I'd like. They have a "Featured Software" item on the front page of the site, and openSUSE has not been featured there, traditionally. However, I talked to Sam and they're supposed to start putting it in the rotation. One thing we could do is to beef up the openSUSE page here: http://ostatic.com/opensuse So, I"m asking two things: 1) If anyone on the marketing list is looking for something to help with on getting the word out about openSUSE - this is an easy way to get started. In particular, adding reviews, screenshots, and additional resources to the page would be great. (We already have a lot of screenshots on the openSUSE wiki, so this is just a matter of moving from one to the other, really.) 2) Suggestions of other "do it yourself" places online that have reasonably high traffic and would be worth someone's time to work on?

[opensuse-marketing] Repositories management in Suse
by manchette 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi all ;) I think suse way of managing repositories is not clear enough, many many users seems to mix up things between factory , stable and unstable repos. Many questions are asked on this, which tends to show that it's not clear or maybe if it is from developpers viewpoint it is not from users' one. I 'd like things to be simplified in next versions. Has this been discussed or already on tracks maybe ? Thanks exple : see what happened with kde and kde upgrades/updates for kde 2 : http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/kde-42-in-opensuse/#comments Fabrice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] issue 57 - problem with on the web
by Matthias Fehring 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello list, I am having a problem with the "On the web" section in the german translation ("Im Netz" in german). I ever get only {{{2}}} for the template output. I have tried anything to find the error, but I could not fix it. It would be nice, if someone else could have a look at that problem. Maybe I am only overslooking something. http://de.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Wochenschau/57#Im_Netz Best greetings Buschmann

[opensuse-marketing] Re: [opensuse-fr] kde 4.2 , La réponse ou la disparition ?
by manchette 01 Feb '09

Pour kde 4 : kmail avait perdu la partie réception des emails d'ou le bouton grisé, mais pourquoi cette perte ?? Je pense que la gestion des dépôts de suse n'est pas claire, du moins si pour les développeurs elle l'est elle est loin de l'être pour les utilisateurs . De nombreux mélanges entre factory et stable ou unstable , tout le monde se pose et repose les même questions , les sujets là dessus pleuvent ; ca prouve que les choses sont pas claires ou mal expliquées ... exple : http://www.alionet.org/index.php?showtopic=23375&st=0&#entry200602 http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/kde-42-in-opensuse/#comments Personne n'y comprend rien et il faut bien dire que la logique utilisée à sa cohérence ...interne ....
