Hello, as I wrote some time ago in response to the announcement that issue #65 is ready for transaltion, under "Status Updates", "Wiki / Communication / Events", is a one year old blog entry from Klaus Kämpf, who wrote about the Open Source Meets Business Conference, but not 2009 but 2008. ;-) Best greetings Buschmann ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE Member - de.opensuse.org Sys-Op http://en.opensuse.org/User:Buschmann23 http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate http://en.opensuse.org/Geeko_wants_you!

Stephen, As Pavol Rusnak mentioned earlier, all of Eucalyptus' target distros are handled by the Build Service. Surely we should be trying to convince them to use our service and enlightening them that by doing so enables them to have maximum reach with minimal effort.

You might wonder why the crap Novell hasn't gotten on top of this, they have! :) Unfortunately, from what I understand is that the version of xen we use is too new to work on ec2. So this is of no fault of Novell, but the systems and versions that amazon is using :( Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] [OWN] Translation-Teams / Coordinators
by Jan-Simon Möller 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi @all - last mail for today :D . As we want to strengthen and expand our translation-teams to share the work on many shoulders, we need to organize a bit to keep track who is who/who does what and so on. Sascha proposed that every language-team elects/appoints a coordinator which acts as spokesperson for the team, organizes the translation-process and also keeps an eye on the ready-table (please don't forget to update it also for "delay/not available" - it really helps us !). We've created a page on the wiki for you to fill in your team's data. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Translators Best, Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi - really productive today ;) . Next topic as we're still in a process to find a good meeting frequency/time and so on, I want to discuss with you the schedule for the next meetings. My impression is that a monthly meeting is quite good, but its "a lot in between". Also we'd appreciate if more team members would join the meeting. We've these proposals now: * bi-weekly meeting (every 14 days) * monthly meeting (as just now) * X-weekly meeting (X=3,5,??) Please comment or vote. We'll announce the next meeting according to the most votes/best comments.

[opensuse-marketing] [OWN] Voting on Layout enhancements
by Jan-Simon Möller 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi, me again ;). We got an enhancement request from one of our readers to change the font away from italics to make reading the newsletter more fun. Let me explain the current situation in 2 sentences. We use (IIRC since the beginning) this scheme: Headings are bold, own content in normal font and "copied/linked" content is in italics. IMHO, the separation of own/linked content is important and should be visible _somehow_. Saturo was so kind to prepare some proposals [http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/60#Announcements_-_current] I'd appreciate to get some feedback from you on this topic - we will decide and adapt the template.

If all goes well, we should be done in 3-4 weeks. So Phase 1 will start today. Proposals are always welcome. And not to forget: a big TNX to all people who already submitted their ideas !

[opensuse-marketing] marketing idea's for the Education project
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Hello, After reading several articles on "competing with open source" I found that one of the common mistakes that we make is to forget to talk about the problem that our project solves. With that in mind I wrote these pages (see attached) in order to frame that idea and to create a basis for marketing our work this year. The world's economy is at it's near record worst and schools are still being asked to do more with less. Many of our projects can help them shift budget costs into budget surplus's , they just don't know it. please tell me what you think of the paper , and help formulate the marketing plan around this idea. -- James Tremblay Volunteer openSIS Product Specialist http://www.os4ed.com e-mail james "at" os4ed.com e-mail sleducator "at" opensuse.org CNE 3,4,5 MCSE w2k CLE in training Registered Linux user #440182 http://en.opensuse.org/education

[opensuse-marketing] Minutes from the OpenSUSE Weekly News Team Meeting
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Meeting was 21 03 09, 14:40h UTC Present: ======= dl9pf saigkill HeliosReds alexandremrj k0da ScriptRipper Topics: ====== 1.) Old action Items 2.) Feedback/Questions Guidelines about Logos =================== dl9pf explained, that the Trademark Guidelines are released. We should create/select/vote for one Logo, submit it, and wait for reaction. Our Electionsite for our Logo are placed in: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Logo. We are comes to the End, that we make an new Call for Participation in -marketing List, to get new Proposals. Then we elect, and commit. Counterpixel ========== dl9pf explained, that this is not trivial. Actually he has one Counterpixel for en and ja- The Logs can be visited in: http://frodo- auenland.dyndns.org/logs. He can build new Counterpixel for other Language _on_Request_. But this is still an workaround. We are hoping to use the novell Server instead. Icon for Editors Note Section ======================= Helios Reds prepared 3 Proposals. The most likes #2. Then we uses the #2 for the next Editors Note. Picking up articles from Novell Site =========================== HeliosReds has written to Zonker for answering the Question. Our Result is now, that we can use the Articles, but we should place the Original URL to the Article. Thats no Problem. Proposal about new Layout ===================== HeliosReds has prepared an Proposal: http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/60 . We mail an Election Mail to our Team through -marketing. Frequency of the IRC Meeting ======================= saigkill explained, that the Timeshift was an good Thing. But what about the frequency? Is it better to make the Meetings all 2 or 3 Weeks? We have seen, that it's better to make this as Election Mail to our Team. We hope so, more Teammembers can be present. Coordinator of each Language-Subteam =============================== saigkill explained, that we have in many Languages more than one Translator. In some Languages 3 - 4 Translators. So saigkill proposed, that we fill out an List: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_:News/Translators . So we (the Editors) can see which Languages are strong with Translators, and which Language needs more Translators. Our goal is, that every Language has an 2 Translators as minimum. So an Coordinator of each Language Subteam is needed. His Tasks: * keep the Readytable in mind * coordinates which Subteam-Member are translating now * He asks about an Status Update. * He is stands for Questions from the Editors Team. Through them we can share the workload and can modify our workflow. This is to be continued in the -marketing Mailingliste. //EOF The Transcipt can be visited under: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Meetings/20090321 -- 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

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Project Accepted to Google Summer of Code 2009
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Once again, the openSUSE Project will be participating in Google's Summer of Code program! openSUSE was one of the 150 mentoring organizations accepted this year, and we're excited to have the chance to work with students on projects to improve the openSUSE distribution and its tools[1]. Mentoring ======== Now it's time to start signing up Mentors for the openSUSE Project. Mentors review the student applications and score them, work with students during the Google Summer of Code, and evaluate students performance. We're looking for committed mentors who will work with students closely and provide guidance not only on the project they're working on, but also help them integrate with the overall project and teach them how to work within an open source project. If you're interested in mentoring with the openSUSE Project, sign up before March 23rd[2]. You'll need to create a site-wide user profile[3] and send a request to become a mentor (or send me a note[4] with your user ID). Students ======= Working with the Google Summer of Code is a great way to earn cash over the summer while doing something rewarding and interesting, and contributing to the open source community. Students who complete the Summer of Code will earn $4,500 if they complete the program in good standing. (See the Google FAQ for the payment schedule[5].) The student deadline for Google Summer of Code is Friday, April 3rd. See the FAQ[6] for the full scoop. We're looking for students who can work on existing ideas[1] or bring their own[7]. If you have a great idea that fits within the openSUSE Project, please apply! If your proposal is accepted, expect to do a great deal of work over the summer. The time commitment is substantial, and we're aiming for 100% completion of projects this year. Ideas ===== There's still time to submit ideas[1] on the openSUSE wiki. Preferably, these will be from students or mentors who will work on the ideas -- but that's not a requirement. If you have a great idea, feel free to put it up. If you have questions about participating in the Google Summer of Code in general, check out the #gsoc channel on Freenode. If you have questions specific to the openSUSE Project, email zonker(a)opensuse.org[4] or ask on the openSUSE Project (opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org) mailing list.

Hello everyone, my name is Alexandre and I saw the request for translators and so I decided to send this email. I speak portuguese (from Europe) because I'm from Portugal.

Re: [opensuse-testing] Re: [opensuse-marketing] OpenSUSE testing team (fwd)
by Alberto Passalacqua 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi, Frankly I don't think the -testing ML is subscribed by a high number of readers, and I'm I bit bored of being redirected from wiki to -project to -marketing and then to -testing. If the idea has to be done, let's discuss of it, or let's drop it. This division of mailing lists is completely arbitrary and artificial, and it is one of the problems that make participation harder in openSUSE. This discussion in my view had to be done in a high traffic ML, and that's why I started it in -project, so that most of the people could read it. If it happens on a small, specific and mainly technical ML, it won't surely attract any new participant, which is what, in the end, happens with many of the initiatives we have, that stay well hidden in the wiki or in some ML. And it is also the reasons why I and others didn't know of the existance of the -testing IRC channel and ML when the idea came out. Regards, A.

This request is only for references, so anyone using openSUSE that'd like to talk about it (beyond desktop/personal use) would be interesting.

[opensuse-marketing] OpenSUSE 11.11
by Adi Nugroho 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

May be this is not a popular idea, at least for the standard opensuse release. I am a happy opensuse user. Unfortunately, OpenSUSE 11.1 was born just one month before KDE 4.2. I have tried KDE Four Live (KDE 4.2), and extremely happy with its stability :) Yess, it is 10 times more stable than the official release of OpenSUSE 11.1- KDE. And stability is one of the good point of OpenSUSE. In my opinion, KDE 4.2 is too good. It is too long to wait until OpenSUSE 11.2 is released. I hope Opensuse can make "intermediate release" to include KDE 4.2. If it is not possible, just make an unofficial release, but published in opensuse website, I mean something like KDE Four Live, but with DVD instalation media, both for i586 and x86-64. Hopefully, it will become a good marketing for OpenSUSE, especially for OpenSUSE-KDE.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Trademark Guidelines Released
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

The openSUSE Project is pleased to announce the release of the openSUSE Trademark Guidelines[1] (PDF). With the guidelines, the openSUSE Project is looking to clarify the use of the openSUSE marks and make it easier to redistribute openSUSE-based projects. Since it's easier than ever to create customized versions of openSUSE, we've seen a lot of interest in the branding of derivative distros. When is it OK to call a distro "openSUSE," or "powered by openSUSE," and when does the branding need to be removed entirely? The guidelines are an attempt to answer as many of those questions as possible in one concise document. What Do the Guidelines Cover? ============================= The openSUSE Trademark Guidelines cover using the openSUSE marks for derivative distributions, merchandise, domain names, advocacy groups, events, publications, advertising materials, and much more. If you're doing anything that involves redistributing openSUSE or materials with the openSUSE marks, you should look over the trademark guidelines to ensure that your use is permitted. Seeking Special Permission ========================== If you want to use the official openSUSE marks, but fall outside the permitted uses_ _it is still possible to get permission. If you'd like to seek special permisison, send an email to permission(a)novell.com[2] with your contact information and an explanation of the situation. Have Questions? =============== For discussion of the guidelines and policies around the openSUSE marks, feel free to ask on the openSUSE-project mailing list. (opensuse- project(a)opensuse.org, subscribe using opensuse-project+subscribe(a)opensuse.org[3].) Discussion about openSUSE branding in general can be directed to the openSUSE marketing mailing list (opensuse-marketing(a)opensuse.org, subscribe using opensuse-marketing+subscribe(a)opensuse.org[4].)

Zonker share this though about FOSS FUD and clearly explain why it totally wrong. His experience as a journalist and column writer with various open source topics give him a wide range overview about FOSS FUD and how to encounter the problem caused. + Seems every time I write a piece suggesting open source as an option, I get a couple of comments warning readers about the scary complexities of open source licenses. So I decided to ask a guy who knows free and open source (FOSS) exactly what the deal was regarding FOSS licensing and whether they were really any more or less complex than their commercial counterparts.

[opensuse-marketing] More on openSUSE Trademark Guidelines
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Hi all, Thanks for all the input and comments so far on the openSUSE Trademark Guidelines. As mentioned when announced, we don't believe that this is the final word on the guidelines - we expected feedback and to need to make changes to the guidelines. To continue the discussion, we've added some pages to the wiki for changes. We've put up the guidelines on the wiki here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines And a page for suggested changes here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines_v2 Finally, we also have a page to add use cases where the current guidelines may be either unclear or too restrictive. (Or, not restrictive enough...). If you have use cases / examples, please add here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines_use_cases Discussion is encouraged on the lists, but we can't guarantee it will be collated when we revise the guidelines - so please add to the wiki if there's something that needs to be changed. Thanks!

Ehi, i've a problem... someone can explicate me this expression in Status Updates -> Distribution: " ...and the KDE:KDE4:Community repos that build vs F:D." particularly "...that build vs F:D." I suppose that ":D" is a smile but the "vs F"... what does it mean? :P Thanks in advance, Bye hawake -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://counter.li.org/ -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://counter.li.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Request Support for FLISOL

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.
