Hi Ricardo, The background colors of the cover use the standard colors of openSUSE and therefore if i put the logo without a diferent background color then its not easy recognised. For that reason the plain white gecko is there (it can be a white circle too or something like that if wanted). Just check a test of the cover without the white background behind the logo http://ragecryx.googlepages.com/openSUSE_11.2_DVDWrap_NEW_testest.png Only "SUSE" is 100% visible, the rest of the logo "blends" with the background colors.

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Templates for Business Cards

Hi Raul, Not everyone reads Roman alphabets. The Japanese, Arabs and Chinese (like me) may prefer to read in their native language. No point handing out cards in a language the receiver may not understand. Just a thought.

[opensuse-marketing] User Survey
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

One thing this KDE discussion brings up is this: It's been a long time since we've had a user survey. The previous survey can be found here: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/e/ec/Survey_openSUSE110.pdf Any suggestions to modify some of the questions, add new ones, get rid of old ones? (i.e., is it relevant or not to ask "why do you use a dual-boot system"?) Please get me suggestions by end of next week (August 7) Typically we do these infrequently after releases, but I think we should probably be doing them at least every 12 months, which means we're soon overdue.

[opensuse-marketing] Nuremberg public transport
by Strainu 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi guys, Sorry if this has already been discussed, but is there any public transport to the conference venue? I tried looking on the public transport company's website, but I can't seem to get hold of the location. The fact that the site is half english, half german doesn't help. So, does anyone knows if there is a train/bus to that location or we must have a car?

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Winds of change
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello Mates, the Weekly News Editors Team has reviewed your Posts. Few Weeks ago we've made an Call for Contribution, with the Question, what we can make better. The first Thing was, that we could make our Weekly News more Interesting for People who are reading the Mailinglists and planetSUSE regularly. And another Guy said, that we have every Issue the same People. So i've added more Sources in my Ticker like Linux.com, CNET and other Project/feeds. The next Step was to find some Writers who can deliver regularly Status Reports from other Projects. So we have Lydia Pintscher (PR from Amarok Project) and we have published their Article in the "Projects Corner." An other Guy wished some articles "behind the horizon". That we realized in the issue 81 through adding Articles about Google Chrome (OS) and Microsofts Driver. Another Guy wished to have an Downloadlink for every Program in "New/Updated Software". That is realized in #81 too. Then we tried to give for every Program an short Introducting. The other Things who are wished, are WIP. We thinking about realizing. The more in articles means an higher workload, so we're trying to reduce the workflow. The Articles must translated to native Languages, and must be published. So Jan had the Idea, that we make the public release from the Weekly News in english at Saturday. From Saturday on the Translators have enough time to translate. And the Weekly News in the Native Language are published if its ready. Through our Subpage ISSUENR/Translations the Reader can see which Language are ready. What's you meaning? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com

[opensuse-marketing] AICA Yearly Congress - Rome (Italy)
by Mariano Iumiento 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hi all. This is my first attempt to organize events as an Ambassador. First of all, I know that the available time is probably not enough, so this attempt will probably fail, but at least I would like to try. AICA (www.aicanet.it) is an Italian no-profit Association for the promotion of IT, Automated Computing and IT skills development, and have their local offices within Universities R&D offices. Composed of IT Companies, IT Professionals and Computer Science Universities and High Schools, they collaborate with Universities, High Schools, Government institutions, R&D organizations, public offices, etc.. They organize events, R&D projects, education activities, and collaborate with http://www.eucip.com and http://www.ecdl.com. They also promote innovation in skill building, like using Open Source based Operating Systems and Office Automation as for the basic certification paths. The most important event they hold, is a yearly Congress that is hold, for this year, on November the 4th, 5th and 6th at the Rome based University 'La Sapienza'. This is NOT an Open Source event, but a general IT and Innovation event, so participants will be coming from different 'environments'. There is a call for paper expiring on July the 15th with various arguments to be proposed (http://aica2009.sapienza.roma.it/) Again, I understand that the available time is probably not enouhg, so I'm just trying... I have set in my mind a list of activities I will have to do from now on, but there is one of these for which I'm asking for help from the marketing ML: the document to be submitted as the first draft to the call for paper. The document should be in PDF or RTF format, either in English or Italian, and is to be developed based on one of the agenda items. If the document will be chosen, I will have to generate the final version and present the content with a projected presentation (I would take care of them), and the document itself will be distributed to the participants as an act of congress. I'm thinking to propose 2 of the items, but for one of them I will take care of submitting the proposal (I will let you all know about this in the next few days). The argument for which I'm asking help is 'Governance of Open Source Communities'. I was thinking to submit a document with this type of content: - What is Open Source, what is an Open Source Community (i.e. their objectives, their usual way to act, etc.) - What is openSUSE (brief history, from its birth date, through Novell acquisition, up to the state of today). - Characteristics of the openSUSE distro (YaST, OpenOffice Novell edition?, etc.) - What is the model: openSUSE community, Novell development addition up to the SLES and SLED enterprise offerings. - How is the openSUSE community organized (i.e. Community Manager, various tematic teams, wikis, Ambassadors, OBS, suse studio, Guiding Principles, etc.). - Numbers of openSUSE (number of registered users, members, downloads, visitors, IRC groups/users, etc.). - ... The document has to be generated based on provided guidance (http://aica2009.sapienza.roma.it/istruzioni-per-gli-autori) Here is a digest: - A4 format - Single Interline - Font: 12pt - First page to contain: Document Title, Autor[s], Abstract (Font: 10pt) - Up to 10 pages, with tables and pictures as well, and PDF or RTF format - Content pages with all lines used (font: 12pt, single interline) - Bibliography at the end with: 1. Author[s], 2. Date/Period, 3. Title (Italic font), 4. publisher. - Tables and pictures can be used but consider that it will be printed on B5 format. Do not use colors for pictures. - If you will use formulas, use the standard SYMBOLS. This means that the document should be ready within July the 14th (Tuesday) for me to be submitted. If there is anybody that can help me, even if by sharing previously used documents that have to be just reviewed (in that case, I would take care of doing it). Any questions, let me know.

[opensuse-marketing] Classrom slides
by Mariano Iumiento 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Good morning all. I'm working with a couple of local LUGs and associations to setup some [almost] free-of-charge linux classes starting from september. I was thinking (obviously) to develop the classes on openSUSE, and to give a 'gift' to attendees by providing them the DVDs with openSUSE and another with various documents/links, some of these taken from http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse111/ One thing that I will need to develop as well is the presentation to be projected during the class. Before to do 'duplicated' work, is there anybody that has made something similar already that wants to share to be re-used/adapted to the need? The plan is to make a 'fundamentals' class, an intermediate class (for users with some desktop experience), and a brief server class. I'll take care anyway to share the final document (whatever will be it's source).

Here is the first result: - Chuck: Ambassador Events included in upcoming events - PBleser: Find Interesting for Users who are reading regularly the Mailinglists and planetsuse. - yamaban: 1. A newsflash-category: just short comments {160char? } with (outside-)links to news around Linux, kernel, and apps. Not necessarily bound to openSUSE, a view beyond the soup-dish would be welcome. 2. A version-update-category: short comments on the type of program and changes in the new version, links to further info and 1-click-installs 3. A event-category: what events are newly announced? outside-links to further Info an the upcoming events. Comments on done events, outside- links to further comments/info 4. Make it a point/portal for the users weekly news-fix without the need to subscribe to around 20 or so feeds and another 15 or more mailing lists. -Hylton Conacher: As a user of the OpenSuSE distribution, I would like to see more about repository updates when software is updated ie FireFox was recently patched to 3.5.1 however the version on my system is 3.0.0.11 and I have requested the system several times to check for updates via the opensuse updater applet. Always have an entry to where users can find tutorials specific to OpenSuSE. Whilst I have been using OpenSuSe since version 10.0, I still could not explain to someone what or how a software repository is or works. Does one need to be added for each software app installed, if available, and are the newer versions confirmed to work with OpenSuSe? If they need testing first then the time between update release and the update of the opensuse update mirror needs to be improved. PBlesers Wish i've realized through adding Linux.com, digg and wordpress to the Sources. And i've connected me to Community Manager from other Projects (like Lydia Pintscher) to write articles exclusivly for the openSUSE Weekly News. The Education Project write us an article too. What are you meaning about the rest from the Proposals? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com

[opensuse-marketing] Wiki functionality
by Marcus Uddenhed 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi. I don't know if this is the right forum(list) for this but i will try anyway. I recently signed up for the ambassador program and have started to translate pages into Swedish. I recently translated a page on the wiki called Openssh from English and so far so god, then i discovered another page with information regarding openssh with the name OpenSSH and it contained different information. This is not good that it's possible to create multiple pages for same software just by just changing a letter in the word to uppercase/lowercase, even if it is done unintentional. Is there a meaning with this or just default behavior of the wiki software? I think users can get confused if they do a search on the wiki and there are more than one page for same software with different information. I think that it will not aid in the quest to promote openSUSE to the masses with this feature on the wiki, if it is indeed a feature on the wiki. I know that i first missed the second link since the first link i found was the one i translated from. Links: http://en.opensuse.org/Openssh (This is the one i translated from) http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSSH Looking forward to thoughts and ideas from my fellow ambassadors.

[opensuse-marketing] Ambassador Report - BLUG Installfest
by James Mason 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Last Thursday, July 2nd, the Bellingham Linux Users Group held an InstallFest - inviting the community in to try out Linux in its various forms, or get help with any niggling issues. About two dozen people attended, with various degrees of experience. Questions ranged from issues with audio on an old laptop, to the relative merits of different virtualization platforms, to ext file system recovery tools. I talked a bit about features of the upcoming 11.2 release (I'm rather excited about RESTful YaST, myself), demo'd by HP business laptop running openSUSE 11.1, and worked on a few installs. Sadly, we were all thwarted by a newbie with a Dell laptop that just wouldn't allow for partition resizing, no matter what (Neither openSUSE 11.1, Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.04, nor Debian Lenny would allow for resizing, and no amount of Windows repair would change the state... wierd.) But aside from that, it was a good time, and the Linux desktop was able to be spread to a few new users! The only area I fell short on was media... although I have a substantial supply of the freebie 32-bit DVDs, there was demand only for 64-bit for install. Luckily, I had my retail set handy to share. The DVDs are great for a live environment though, and I saw quite a few floating around. All in all, it was a good event! - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE conference & educational institutions

Moin, for the openSUSE conference I'd like to spread the word to universities and educational institutions which have a focus on IT and are in the wider area of Nürnberg (100-200km around). Robert produced some posters. Instead of sending it to "Universität Nürnberg" I'd like to send them as direct as possible to the chair or IT department. Anyone who has a contact to educational institutions in the greater Nürnberg area (eg. Regensburg, Coburg, Würzburg) please let me know names and addresses.

[opensuse-marketing] last newsletter, apology, next months
by Jan-Simon Möller 13 Jul '09

Hi teammates, I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to keep up the last 2 weeks as I was hit by real-life (moving places, no net, ill). I'll be online this week and going through the backlog. The next 2 month will be busy - so I'd like to take a 1-2 month vacation from newsletter after having served for over 1 year. I'll help whenever I've time, but now its time for one of my teammates to step up and keep things rolling.

[opensuse-marketing] Novell/SUSE presence at opensource high performance computing conferences
by Alberto Passalacqua 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hello all, high performance computing is in rapid expansion and its applications to many fields of research and industry are or are becoming common practice. Numerical simulation is today not only a tool for scientist but it is used in industry, medicine, biology, chemistry and other fields to optimize a design, verify hypotheses and obtain precise data. I guess someone is thinking now "and what has this to do with openSUSE?" :-). Well, it is simple: many tools used in high performance computing, especially in research are open source, and run on Linux. Others are not open source, but still run on Linux, and Linux is considered by many the platform of reference to build HPC clusters. Now, I see some opportunity for openSUSE in this sector, and it is of sure interest for Novell too (see top500, to find our loved chameleon making those beast green :-)). SUSE Linux Enterprise is already one of the supported platforms by various commercial tools used in HPC to perform simulations and process data, but it could do better and be more visible, because most of the time the attention goes to RHEL, being it more present and better known, in spite of its limitations, especially when it comes to HPC workstations, where its use might be quite limiting for the user. At least it is in my experience, being HPC what I do, and being RHEL what I have to use on my workstation. One opportunity to gain some visibility might be to take part at some conference on the topic. For example, in November 2009 there will be in Barcelona the OpenSource CFD (computational fluid dynamics) ( http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-news-announcements/66180-announci… ), which was born around OpenFOAM ( www.openfoam.org ), an open source code for fluid dynamics and now open to more products. From what I read, last year it attracted quite some attention from the industry, with names like Volkswagen, Procter & Gamble, Jaguar Land Rover, Audi, *Intel* and *Red Hat*. It could be of interest to promote openSUSE and SLE in a sector which might appear quite hidden, but gives access to both academic and industrial environments at once, and is surely growing (for those interested, take a look at the ANSYS' stocks and reports). I think it would be good for Novell (I say Novell because these conferences are technical, and people is interested in solutions, so generic marketing does not fit, and it would be better if the presenter is expert in the field (IT engineer with some experience with clusters and parallel computation)) to be present at events of this kind, and maybe on the long run plan around a packaged solution, which might be developed on openSUSE (most of what is needed is on OBS already) and extended to SLE as done, for example, with the -edu project.

[opensuse-marketing] New Ambassador self introduction
by Mariano Iumiento 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hi all. There are very few people in this ML that knows me, so I introduce myself: I'm 35 and live in Rome (Italy). I'm a Geek enthusiast and one of the items I like more is Open Source and GNU/Linux world. I'm a GNU/Linux user since Slackware 3.0 (1995 or 1996 I believe), I have studied and always worked in IT market (primarly on Unix and GNU/Linux stuff). I continuously switch between openSUSE, SLED, Ubuntu, Fedora and Sabayon distros for my work desktop, while I use even more distros for my 'home-lab'. I like to act as a 'promoter' of innovation, and I daily do my best to contribute to spread the word about everything that keeps my attention from this world. I've been one of those contributors acting 'behind the scenes'. I would like to contribute to the marketing activities of openSUSE community, and to apply to the Ambassador program. I often attend events about technology subjects, and in a few cases I've been holding talks about things that I liked to share the vision for. I would like to contribute in the openSUSE marketing activities by - Participating to LUGs and Universities activities to promote openSUSE. - Attending to events as an openSUSE Ambassador to make promotion. - Holding classes about openSUSE to teach openSUSE-GNU/Linux to new users (it happens that local social/cultural associations promote [almost]-free classes about GNU/Linux). - Organize events with the support of companies/LUGs/universities where it'd be possible to promote openSUSE. ...there are other ideas I have in mind.... but I need to focus on the available time that I'd need to do all this stuff. I'm excited to start organizing my 'Ambassador' activities in the next few days and will therefore ask for the required support to do my best as a new 'formal' contributor; so, expect some 'spamming' from me! I'll also try to join as frequently as I can the IRC on #opensuse-marketing since I understand it's the 'place' where more items can be discussed. I've updated my user page on http://www.opensuse.org/User:Miumiento (hope it's good enough) and the Ambassador List page. Ciao and sorry for the long mail. :-) -- Mariano Iumiento miumiento [at] gmail [dot] com openSUSE Marketing Team Blogs: http://marigeek.blogspot.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/miumiento --- Unsubscribing: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Im working more to refine the DVD cover. Text changes are welcome as well as translations (if needed) I changed the outdated GNOME screen with one featuring the new theme, centered some elements, put KDE and GNOME logos (can be removed if needed without ruining the rest design). Waiting for more feedback :) On PNG: http://ragecryx.googlepages.com/openSUSE_11.2_DVDWrap_NEWTESTy.png On SVG (for making changes): http://ragecryx.googlepages.com/openSUSE_11.2_DVDWrap_v4_test.svg I just wander if printing sleeves with rounded corner is possible. So for printing convenience it may be turned into non-rounded. Anyway, I think that for a mass distribution (like on install fests) its a very nice design. Design can also be edited by local groups to include their homepage, mailing list or any other way of communication. PS. Working on some fancy presentation templates as well ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks for your time, George Koutsikos ragecryx(a)yahoo.gr or "reddaygr" on IRC ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

I have been on this mailing list for less than a week and 90% of the bandwidthe is consumed by this thread. Let it go. Go preach to a different choir, I know my relegion. Stop trying to convert me. If I wanted to prosteletize for Richard Stallman I woul be on a GNU mailling list. My two cents! K. R.
