[opensuse-marketing] build an art team
by S.Kemter 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hello, I found a little problem over artwork for openSUSE, so I'll try to give some funny examples to illustrate it. # Alternative # I've got a bit of a problem over artwork for openSUSE, so I'll try to give some funny examples to illustrate it. Yesterday, I had a brief conversation with Zonker on #opensuse-marketing channel which was triggered by the feature request on openFATE: https://features.opensuse.org/308761 Is openFATE the good place to contribute graphics for openSUSE? I don't think so, because the screening team has a lot of work to do which should be taken place. Just then, I remember the voting that Zonker made the other day for 11.2 DVD cover. Although Raul made a cover just for fun, it was lucky that zonker recognized it and made a poll. Jimmac u had right that was the old style About the same time, I used the same old look for the posters for launch parties. But with my poster, things got weird. Strainu from Bucarest came to me and asked the sources for it. I happily accepted his request and in a short while he got it. But the funny thing is, that he went to nicubunu and asked him to change the text on it. Why on earth must a openSUSE member ask the Fedora art team to help with this ? Btw, nicubunu, googled for the "fifth leg font". Take a look at the result: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&source=hp&q=fifth+leg +font&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=&aq=f&oq= There are a lot more things like that - some time ago I made a twitter wallpaper for suseROCKs because he would like to have and recently Zonker also used it. It's funny because he can find that wallpaper in the wiki. The point here is, when I look in the wiki, there are a lot of different pages in which I can find artworks. Sometimes I can find a good artwork and I'm sure the artist who made it has talent for graphic arts. What do we do with "features" like 308761? Should we decline them because they are not the things for openFATE or harsher because they are not good enough? Or, give that guy a room for building up his skills for graphics in an "art team"? How should we deal with the other guys who made graphics and have talent? Let them put their graphics in the wiki and hope others can find and use them? Or, give them a chance to make graphics as tasks if needed, in openSUSE Art-Team? IMO, it is important to give people a good chance to contribute to the project in such ways. There were several persons on the marketing channel yesterday and we got the idea, why not pack such "features" in a package like "artwork-contrib" and if there are too much candidates, give people the chance to vote which artwork should be in the package? I think we have enough talented members and a lot of users who might be interested in contributing in this way and we can build openSUSE Art-Team. Are there anyone who think that what I want is right? If the answer is yes, step forward and say Yes ;) jimmac & garrett, I think an art team is not really possible without you. So, I hope you will be the first two guys that step forward. Then, we should have a meeting, maybe on the artwork channel, yeah we have such a thing ;) When we have enough people who step forward, I'm going to make a doodle vote for finding the best date for it. br gnokii -- more http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs http://www.xing.com/go/invita/11208336 http://twitter.com/karltuxstadt http://identi.ca/karltuxstadt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

*reposting* Just my thought, but could we not include the speed dial plugin or something similar with some openSUSE branding? Maybe, most visited sites, since the address bar has a search tab anyway. -- Koushik Kumar Nundy B.Tech, ECE Final year NIT Durgapur India. http://kknundy.blogspot.com, http://twitter.com/kknundy http://en.opensuse.org/ http://thinkbiosoln.com http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in , http://mkti.in 2010/1/13 Karsten K=F6nig <remur(a)gmx.net> > You accidently only replied to me, I don't think that was your intention =) > > Regards, > Karsten > > > At Karsten, sorry and thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Call for Volunteers: SCALE
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi all, The Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) is coming up shortly. We’re looking for some volunteers to help man the openSUSE booth at the show. If you’re an openSUSE enthusiast and planning on attending SCALE, please drop a note to the openSUSE marketing list. The show is February 19-21, but the expo floor is only open on the 20th and 21st. We won’t need a lot of help setting up the booth, just folks who can help man the booth, answer questions about openSUSE, hand out some swag, and be friendly. You don’t need to be able to answer every technical question that an attendee might ask, but should know your way around openSUSE 11.2 and be able to answer general questions about openSUSE. While we’d love to send everybody to the show, we’re looking for local volunteers who don’t require travel assistance. So, before anyone asks, no we aren't paying travel or hotel for anyone outside the area -- but if you're already planning to attend, we'd be happy to have you. If someone's planning to attend and would like to split a room, feel free to speak up. We probably have one or two folks who would be happy to split those costs. We’d like to have three or four volunteers who can attend and man the booth for half or full-day shifts. If you're outgoing and like talking about openSUSE, this is a lot of fun!
