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.

by Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Just a quick note that I've updated the Sneak Peek draft page for 11.2, hopefully we can start collecting ideas now and not end up in the situation we did last year where we rushed out a few articles days before the launch. http://en.opensuse.org/Sneak_Peeks Included on the page is six proposed articles, each with proposed release times. Feel free to tweak around. All comments, concerns, questions and restraining orders welcome. -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy openSUSE Project Member www.twitter.com/KevinDupuy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Report from Atlanta Linux Fest
by Chuck Payne 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Guys, I am happy to say that the Atlanta Linux Fest was a great hit. They were planning for only fewer than 500 people, but ended up with a turn out of 600+. I am happy to say that all the stuff that Zonker sent was all passed out and we still had people wanting more. We answer all the questions they has. Demo the 11.1 for a bit until my laptop died (there was no power on the wall we were on). The talked that I gave on the openSUSE Community seem to go over well, a lot people were surprise at all the stuff we had to offer (Build Service, SUSE Studio, Factory, and openSUSE Li-f-e). The SUSE Studio seem to really impress a lot of people. Tons of questions, tons of comments from people says they us, or that they will give us a try. The magazine from LixunPro with the Live Disc was a hit. By the way, one the things that amazed me, was I meet a guy from Turkey who been using openSUSE there was surprise to see us this Fest and was happy for us The Fedora Ambassador were they and were impress with us and wanted to help us out. They intorduced me to Dave Yates of Lotta Linux Links Podcast (http://lottalinuxlinks.com/blog) who wants to talked to me about the Ambassador program. Also a few people that were from other parts of the country asking me how to become Ambasssador because they too want to go out spread the word of openSUSE. I meet Katina Ferguson and husband from from Foss threads http://www.fossthreads.com/, everyone needs to check them out. I am only pointing the out because their business makes T-Shirts for the open source community. What really impressed me about them was they use openSUSE, inkscape, and GIMP to create their shirts. I am thinking it who be cool that we have in future in the newsletter articles to over openSUSE in the work place. I talked with Arron from the Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts at their November Meeting I am going to do launch party for 11.2, we are working out the details. So a great fest! I am happy that I could help. Zonkers, they told me they did miss you. They tell me they will be in contact with me about next year fest. -- ---------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE 11.2 launch plan
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi all, Looking for contributions, suggestions, etc. for the 11.2 launch plan. The skeleton draft is up on the wiki, here: http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing/Team/11_2_Launch Includes timeline, talking points, a place to put collateral, and so on. Ambassadors: Now is the time to start planning launch parties. I hope that every ambassador will be doing something for the 11.2 launch -- whether that's planning a major launch party for a region, or simply planning a small 11.2 get-together or being sure to talk up 11.2 at school, work, etc. Also, we need a more comprehensive list of publications around the world that might be willing to publish information about openSUSE. We have pretty good lists for North America and Europe (or at least parts of Europe) but around the world we could use a lot of help here. If you see other areas where you are willing, able, and interested in helping, please speak up!
