05 May '09

The openSUSE Project is opening the call for participation in the openSUSE Summit 2009[1], to be held September 17 through 20 in Nuremberg, Germany. We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of the openSUSE community to participate[2]. The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations, tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks: * Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and openSUSE governance. * Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and applications. * Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server applications. * Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build Service. * Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new to Linux. If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call for Participation Form[3] with all of the details for your participation. We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.) The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will be accepting a limited number of proposals. Deadline ======== All proposals must be submitted by May 20th. To submit a proposal, fill out the form[3] before 12:00 UTC on May 20.

[opensuse-marketing] Keep openSUSE on the headlines?
by Piotrek Juźwiak 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep openSUSE on the headlines by creating respins, official updated Live CD's (additionally KDE 4.2 CD's, so trendy nowadays). Otherwise short after a release it's quiet until we get a new milestone what took 4 months :) Best Regards Bender -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

30 Apr '09

@OWN Team Translators Although Sascha hasn't announced yet, there are some changes on issue #69 - current issue - since the status was 'Translation Ready'. Changelog: - New section 'OpenSUSE for your ears' has been added under 'Localization' - Removed Stephan Binner from 'Credits' @Sascha Will 'OpenSUSE for your ears' be regular section ? If so, we have to modify our translation.ini file corresponding to this. And, "OpenSUSE" should be "openSUSE", right ?

[opensuse-marketing] Promotional material for Disclosure
by Raul Libório 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello, My name is Raul Libório and I live in Brazil in the city of Salvador in Bahia and a lover of openSUSE user =) I write to you in order to know if there is any possibility to acquire some of the openSUSE promotional material for two major events that will happen on 29 and 30 May, the III ENSL (Third Meeting Nordestino Free Software) and FSL IV (Room Festival Software Livre da Bahia). This is the largest Free Software event in the Northeast and will rely on private companies, government and many people who know or not free software and openSUSE. I would represent the openSUSE the community during the event, sharing our distribution and strengthening the base of users here in this state, which is very low. Some installation DVDs would be a great tool! If some type of folder or planfetos will help even more! The ENSL III & IV FSLBA is an event that usually occurs once every 2 or 3 years. In this edition, it will rely on John Mad Dog, among other:) If want to give, this is the link for the event. Previous editions are available to the left side of the site. http://wiki.softwarelivre.org/Festival4/WebHome I am very grateful for the attention of you, thank you very much! ps: Personal apologies if English is not the best, was translated by Google Translator;) -- ------ Raul Libório http://rauhmaru.blogspot.com/ rauhmarutsªhotmailºcom Linux user#4444581 "The bug is on the table." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] FLISoL in Coquimbo had a lot of fun!
by Ricardo Varas Santana 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi everyone out there! Just like in Concepción (with our member Luis Lastra) in Coquimbo we had a lot of fun. Around 80+ people attending talks and installation during the whole day and of course some openSUSE users showed up. I had the chance to meet a really enthusiastic SUSE/openSUSE user (Enrique Herrera) and we tallked about organizing the openSUSE community here in Chile which is just great. To start with I joined a facebook group he created called "geeko's". Well there are ideas of planning release launch parties install fests, starting a group in Novell.com's community, etc. I could not take many pictures of installations but will look for them soon. One cool thing is that all of our 30 "home burnt" openSUSE cd's were given away I'd say that's good since there were other distros that weren't that popular. openSUSE was pretty close to ubuntu this time. Maybe it was because I was wearing the 11.1 contributor t-shirt ;) Well, that is the news from me. Thank you so much for your support, pictures coming soon :). @Zonker: the request has not arrived yet. Anyhow, once it's here it will be useful to promote the geeko. -- Ricardo Varas Santana. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] "The Community role in openSUSE life-cycle" by Dinar Valeev
by Rodolfo Ramos 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

Hi all. Following leads on community development after reading Clay Shirky's "Here comes everybody - the power of organizing without organizations" I came across with the pdf file - "The Community role in openSUSE life-cycle" by Dinar Valeev. Being an openSUSE fan - for its qualities and concern in graphical environment, I would like to find out more about the role of the community in product development as a personal investigation and a probable issue for master in MKT thesis. Does anybody care to help / point directions where to find documentation / evidences about this matter? I realize that this is a big issue -not a novelty, though - and my proposition is probably a blur! Still... Thanks all.
