[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE team at Xariseto.gr Free Festival-Report
by Kostas Koud 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

At October the 3rd we participated at the xariseto Free Festival.We were placed between Greeklug and the Fedora community Project. A few words about the event: The event had everything an Free open fest could have,music,theatrical teams ,places for kids to learn through games, free coffee, free clothes,free games and any other kind of items people stopped use and wanted to give away to others instead of throwing them away as garbage,also after the event what people didn’t take the xarise to team gathered it and gave it to institutions. Our presence there: Our Community was represented by Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff) and we had with us dvd's, stickers and flyers with information about our community.We expected more people but the weather was cloudy and not many people left their houses to come at the event.We gave away around 60-70 dvd's but we talked with all 60-70 people and at least 80% showed us real interest on trying openSUSE. Also a big percentage of them were either businessman, either experienced window's user's that were looking for their getaway to Linux operating Systems and needed help for it. Also there were some site admins that asked for our help at the creation of a FOSS section at their Sites. For a full report and photo's take a look at: http://bit.ly/deJBL8 Kostas (warlordfff) Koudaras -- me I am not me -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

He is currently traveling in Spain and will soon be off to the openSUSE conference. Over the weekend he was robbed. Among those items were his laptop, camera, kindle, and other various items. We are hoping to raise some money to help replace those items. Thanks to those that have already given. For those that'd like to help out here is a link to the donate site: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/13645 Thanks, Bryen's friends -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] speaking of brand identity....

You may have already noticed this - we're a bit behind in Oz. I just bought the August 2010 issue of Linux Journal. A letter asks "Just curious as to which Distro logo is the one between Ubuntu and Debian on the front cover of the June 2010 issue..."

[opensuse-marketing] NovDoc Usage
by Bryant, Christian 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

I'm going to be working on some custom appliances using SUSE Studio. I love the susedoc style sheets but I'm not clear on the usage requirements and wanted to make sure that I can use susedoc to create manuals for my appliances that look exactly like the actual openSUSE manuals. I know the code for susedoc is GPL but are there some documentation guidelines for folks like me that have this type of project in mind? Thank you.
