Guys, I was talking with James A. Tremblay, he told me that we can get our gmail account pointed to an opensuse.org account? How do we get that done? Also, what about getting a blog on planetSUSE? I like to start one if I can get one there. Thanks guys. -- ---------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] reverting the Yast icon in 11.2
by Jakub Steiner 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hi folks, I'd like to propose to revert the Yast launcher icon to the original wrench for usability reasons. This would be the first time we'd expose people to a cute little animal as an icon. Of course it's a chicken and egg problem setting up a brand. There are a few cases where building a brand for a product has preference over a clear metaphor giving insight on what the tool does. But I don't think it's the case with Yast. Yasti, the aardvark is a great mascot, perfect for conference swag. Exposing him everywhere it mentions Yast is a bad choice in my opinion. I don't think we aim for people on Fedora or Ubuntu to switch their configuration tools to YaST. We want people to switch to openSUSE. Our brand focus should be on openSUSE. I think it's best to revert back to the wrench for the icon. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac(a)gmail.com> http://jimmac.musichall.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Templates for Business Cards
by Eric Yeoh 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

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] Help recording video at openSUSE conference
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi all, We need a few people to help record video at the openSUSE Conference. Any folks on the marketing team that are attending that would be willing and able to take a half-day shift (or longer) of running a camera? We have two tracks per day that need to be recorded, plus keynotes at the beginning and end.

[opensuse-marketing] Open Source Expo Karlsruhe
by Christian Boltz 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hello, on 15. and 16. November 2009 there's the (AFAIK second) "Open Source Expo" in Karlsruhe, see http://openexpo.de for details. There's currently a call for papers and for projects. My question is: are there enough people (both from SUSE and the community) interested to run a booth and/or to give a talk? If I get it right, the booth is free and we'll even get some goodies. Entrance for visitors is free if you pre-register (otherwise 10 €). In parallel, there are the WebTech Conference and the International PHP Conference, but those are quite expensive. I'll most probably go there and am willing to help, but I can't run a booth alone ;-) I'm also thinking about "recycling" my talk about AppArmor I gave at LinuxTag at the Open Source Expo. A more general talk about openSUSE or the build service would be another option. BTW and just an idea: what about sharing the booth with the postfixAdmin project? I'm one of the main developers there ;-) and a separate booth would be overmuch. Feedback welcome ;-) (Before you ask: I have no idea how big this event is and how many visitors are expected.)

[opensuse-marketing] Linux (Conference) Day at chameleon.org.il
by Tomer Amit 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hi, We are going to host a Linux (Conference) Day at chameleon.org.il which is going to be operated on a Video Conference System. we would really like to host one or two lectures about open suse by foreign open suse members (in english of course). We thought about bringing to the local audience some of the topics which were exhibited in the last open SUSE conference during the Linux tag in Berlin. but you can choose any other topic related to open SUSE. I would be glad if anyone (or more) would agree to participate it. It going to take place at 16/10/09 (starting 9:00 - Israel local time). Any help is valuable. Thanks for cooperation, Tomer xranger @ chameleon .org .il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
