[opensuse-marketing] Open Source Cinema at openSUSE Summit 2009?
by Gottfried Hofmann 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hello to all openSUSE folks, we, the KommKino, are a small cinema in Nuremberg and where planning a Creative Commons short film night for September. Recently we noticed that your Summit will bei held from September 17 to September 20. Here's the idea: We could schedule our Creative Commons Night to a day of your summit so you can add it as an event to your programme. Since there is still quite some time left until September our team might even be able to work on an extended programme for all four days of the summit. Btw: admission will be free!

[opensuse-marketing] Announcing the openSUSE Ambassadors Program
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Want to help spread the word about the openSUSE Project and encourage more people to become part of the openSUSE Community? Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and spread the word about the openSUSE Project? Do you want to teach new users about Linux, speak about openSUSE at local events, help distribute openSUSE media, and mentor new contributors to the openSUSE Project? Then you're ready to become an openSUSE Ambassador! What do Ambassadors Do? ======================= Since this is a new program for openSUSE, the Ambassadors will help define the role over time. But the general scope is clear: openSUSE Ambassadors help introduce openSUSE (the distribution and the project) to new users and contributors. Ambassadors act as evangelists for the openSUSE Project and free and open source software. They help to mentor new users and contributors by answering questions on the mailing lists and in forums, by assisting users at installfests, or by helping new contributors get started with the openSUSE project. openSUSE Ambassadors help to spread openSUSE DVDs at events, to local Linux User Groups, schools, universities, and businesses that might benefit from using openSUSE. Ambassadors staff booths at Linux events and answer questions about openSUSE, and explain the benefits of the project and how to get started with openSUSE. Ambassadors promote the project and spread openSUSE by speaking at events, LUG meetings, computer user groups, or any group that might be interested in learning about the openSUSE Linux distribution and openSUSE Project. Ambassadors help bring new contributors to the project and help them become productive within the project. In general, openSUSE Ambassadors are friendly openSUSE enthusiasts who help introduce openSUSE to new users and contributors. Ambassadors make "first contact" with new Linux users and help them get started and excited about openSUSE and Linux. They spread excitement about the project and (of course) have a lot of fun. Signing Up ========== If you'd like to sign up for the openSUSE Ambassador Program, see the "How do I Join?" section on the openSUSE wiki[1]. If you have questions about the Ambassador's program not answered on the wiki[2], feel free to bring them up on the openSUSE Marketing mailing list[3]. You don't need approval to get started. Just follow the steps on the openSUSE wiki and have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-marketing] III Encontro Nacional de Software Livre e IV Festival de Software Livre da Bahia
by Raul Libório 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hello, I come here to thank the openSUSE team, especially to Luiz Fernando Ranghetti (translator and more Brazilian collaborator on the project!), The first contact by Ricardo Santana and, of course, by Joe Zonker, having sent the material for the event. I asked 300 of dvd media for openSUSE, and it was done! They arrived well in time, exactly on the day the event started on Friday 28 - the day that John Maddog closed the first day of event. As I could only attend on the second day, everything fits perfectly =) I confess that when my mother told me that a box had come for me I was suspect ... Do not remember the DVDs! When I saw the box closely, I was afraid to open the time hehe, remember the anthrax hahahaha The event was great! The staff loved the dvds! I took 200 and left 100 others distribute it in college. I will distribute the course of Technology in Computer Networks, in 1st, 2nd and 3rd semesters (usually early = D) Maddog Besides, the event had strong names of some projects, for example, Aurélio Heckert (Gimp, Inkscape - he was the guy who created the layout of the game of earthworms Gnome, among others ...), Alexandro Silva ( SysAdmin of Gnome and former Ambassador of Ubuntu), Valessio Brito (Inkscape) and was also more a developer of Gnome, now the memory fails me. Two new distributions of Linux also have the guys, the EEKATY - based on Fedora, and mangaba - made by PRODEB, Company of Data Processing of Bahia. Anyway, thank you even! I am very happy to have disclosed the project at this event (my beautiful shirt made of openSUSE success = D). I'm sure that from today the city of Salvador in Bahia state will use much the openSUSE! strong hugs ps: Translate by Google Tradutor -- 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] [OWN] Question about the article in issue #73
by Satoru Matsumoto 29 May '09

29 May '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andy and translators of OWN, I'm now translating OWN issue #73 into Japanese and in trouble. We introduce Andy's blog entry in this issue[1], but I can't see the meaning of the following sentence: "... but at the end of the day this is what works for me so tough chippolatas". I know chippolatas are some kind of sausages, however, I can't understand what 'so tough chippolatas' means in this case exactly... Would you please explain what you wanted to say with this phrase ?

[opensuse-marketing] Greetings from the 4th corner of the USA!
by James Mason 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hello All, I wanted to introduce myself, as I've recently signed up as an Ambassador for Bellingham, WA, USA ( http://maps.google.com/maps?q=bellingham,+wa&ie=UTF8&ll=42.423457,-96.94335… ). I work full-time as a web developer (mainly Ruby on Rails) and systems administrator for a local manufacturing facility. I run openSUSE 11.1 on my laptop; our CTO runs openSUSE 11.1 on his laptop; and we use SLES 10 SP2 and openSUSE 11.1 for servers, managing a network of 45 Windows desktops and 45 thin clients. I also do contract web development and sysadmin in my spare time (for spending money). I've successfully implemented a number of file servers based on SuSE Linux. I'm also a avid technology tinkerer, and run openSUSE 11.1 on my media center PC (it is sharing with WIndows XP), and openSUSE 10.3 in my car for telematics; both systems were hand-built to suit. I've presented at LinuxFest Northwest ( http://lfnw.org ) for 3 years running, and have volunteered to help out Zonker at the openSUSE booth for the last two. I run a low-volume blog where I discuss (openSUSE) Linux and web development: http://bear454.com . You can find me on Facebook: searching for bear454, I should be at the top of the list. I IM on GoogleTalk (bear454), AIM (OriginalBear454) and MSN (james(a)bear454.com) I look forward to hearing from you, and spreading the fun! - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
