Have you tried SUSE Studio? Need to create a Live CD, an app you want
to package and distribute , or create your own linux distro. Give SUSE
Studio a try. www.susestudio.com.
Hi folks,
I'm writing up an article with the aim of encouraging non technical
people to participate in projects.
I'm trying to keep the tone very light and fun.
It's just a dump of ideas right now and needs to be structured.
I have no idea where I'll submit it. Possibly Linux.com, or maybe a
print magazine (Linux Format?)
Please feel free to add your suggestions/comments and if you add much
material, leave your name for due credit.
If you have any good quality, publishable images taken at events these
would be great too. If anyone has a non-technical partner who
regularly participates in FOSS work I'd be very happy to hear their
comments. A quote on their experience would be nice.

cheers
Helen

This is a great idea I more then appreciate that we re-animate the shop as it
currently doesn't get the love it deserves.
I need to find the access details for the shop so you guys can change/add
stuff.

Hello everybody.
First of all, sorry in advance for the long mail...
As part of the promotion activities I do for openSUSE, there is one
event that I do not miss since a few years now: the Rome based Linux Day.
As it often happens after the event, I get requests about support on
doing stuff related to openSUSE.
This year I've been contacted also for a special support for which I'm
trying to get all the required info but for which I forward the request
in this list because it is a little bit out of my competences for two
main items:
- Multimedia;
- Accessibility;
The situation is: I've been invited to the National Institute for Deaf
People in Rome (http://www.istitutosordiroma.it/index-en.asp) by a
couple of openSUSE enthusiastic deaf guys that work there into the
Visual Multimedia Department
(http://www.istitutosordiroma.it/mediateca-en.asp).
They are working on a project related to the accessibility for deaf
people to be able to go alone to arts and cultural sites (museums,
churches, etc.) without depending on people that know the 'sign language'.
To do this, they are trying to get technologies helping them...
They have tried a few netbooks with openSUSE installed and have played
with some multimedia software coming from available solutions where they
are trying to put recorded videos in 'sign language' that they can
launch when in front of something they want more details about.
At the moment, the best solution they have found is XBMC (xbmc.org), but
it is not yet enough adeguate for them.
So, the questions I forward to this list is:
- Is there any other combined solution made of
touch_screen_hardware-openSUSE-multimedia_add_on_software that anybody
knows as to be perfect for this? The requirement is to be able to have a
touch-screen hardware with an easy interface for EVERYBODY where users
can quickly find the recording for what they are looking for (example:
I'm at the San Peter Church, in the first room in the basements, and
there is statue of a man sleeping. To reach the recording, there should
be icons like Country, City, Type_of_site_as_church_or_museum,
Name_of_site, Floor, Type_of_item, etc. etc. They are working themselves
to generate the videos, but they should be easy to find by tags or
something similar).
- If there are no available solutions, they have asked me at least a
hand on finding somebody that could be able to make some changes to xbmc
code (changes related to menu layout, icons, etc.). Anybody?
- Are there any touch-tablets/netbooks/nettops that you know is working
with openSUSE? Is meego a better solution?
- Is there anybody available in helping me to help them in finding the
right combination?
What I can do from my side, as part of my personal time that I spend for
promoting openSUSE, I've already shared with them that:
- I can be their counterpart with the community and/or developers that
will provide availability;
- I can help them in developing openSUSE courses for internal pc users;
- I can chair basic courses to them with the help of persons knowing
'sign languages';
- I can help them finding the best combination of 'tablet-like-pc' with
touch functionallities by trying them and trying to fix problems that
will arise;
I do not have competences in multimedia solutions, neither on accessibility.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Hi
We were trying to thing ways in order to promote SUSE Studio which we
think is something great,we were thinking SS and OBS mostly because we
want people that use another distribution to know those two great
tools and become more familiar with the openSUSE project.
So what is the story,as the Greek openSUSE team we are installing
openSUSE distribution and some other distributions to some old
computers that a branch of scouts have but we are talking with some
other higher grade (national) scouts so that we install FOSS to other
branches around Greece.We had the problem that the PC's are really old
and we need a lighter distribution,so Stathis said "Ok I'll try to
make one on SUSE Studio" and I thought why should we do it and don't
let other people be creative,let other people know this great tool and
give anyone who wants the pleasure of making an operating system by
himself?
So we thought why don't we ask for permission for the scout logos and
stuff and make a contest about who will create a Custom Scout
Distribution?
We are thinking in giving everyone a starter pack with logos and stuff
that Scout want included in the distribution to download from a
page,give a dead end(with plenty of time,not because people might need
time to create a distribution but give us the time to promote it
BIG),after that give some people to test all the distributions and
finally the Greek openSUSE team and the Scouts(or maybe only the
scouts) to choose the winner.I would like to ask if openSUSE can send
us something to put as a prize,something symbolic, I really don't
know.
Finally we have an 'official' Greek Scout openSUSE distribution and
after that if all this go well we could try on organizing a global
contest about it,only think what might follow after that..Other
organizations and a great marketing opening opening doors for openSUSE
project around the world. You might think we are crazy or dreamers or
what ever, we don't bother because we are...

Hello,
I doing very often researches for not so well known free software. Such things
like
Hotot http://hotot.org/ a really cool Twitter client
or
Turpial http://code.google.com/p/turpial/ another Twitter client
or
sK1 http://sk1project.org a free vector graphics editor, very cool for
prepress process
and very often I see the same there, just take a look to the download pages.
That are only two examples, there are lot more small but cool software
projects out there.
So now the question is, do we the right strategy for marketing? Its enough to
make talks about or writing endless long release messages?
For me it looks its the wrong strategy because we get not really the result we
want.
What we want is a lot of small software projects using the OBS for packaging
there stuff right?
As I said I test very often small not so known software, I find a lot of such
projects on google code or on canonicals launchpad. Mostly I can find binaries
only for ubuntu.
2 possible reasons why the situation so is.
1. they never heard from OBS
2. they have no knowledge about packaging RPM
So what to do now? Simple let us make as team for the next release of OBS an
direct marketing.
I am alone cant do that, because on the end you have to communicate over a
little time with the picked projects. So I can do only 4 or 5, bu thats not
enough to make a feelable result.
So let us make as team a list with interesting projects, with the situation
like hotot or sK1. And then make short before the next release an direct
marketing.
Even we have no success with bring them to use OBS so we know after that why
they dont do that.

Hi all!
I bet most of you have heard of this website, news.opensuse.org. Sometimes
people post random vaguely openSUSE-related stuff there. Now I thought it
would be fun to create a team around that - work a bit more structured :D
People with the rights to post there now post whatever they like, whenever
they like. Not that that is always a bad thing, but having a little more
oversight to guarantee quality and timing would be good (eg 3 articles on one
day then nothing for 3 days sucks; and sometimes there is some Germanglish in
there too).
It ain't hard - if you are currently writing there every now and then you want
to be on the team. If you are willing and able to edit posts every now and
then - you want to be on the team.
If you want to WRITE for news, you don't HAVE to be on the team - you can just
submit stuff and the editors will edit and publish it.
So who's up for this? And I expect AJ and Henne at the very least to
volunteer, Sascha, you too :D I'm going for everyone who has contributed a lot
of stories to News.o.o to be on the team. Or those who can and want to
write... So Helen? You!
Cheers,
Jos
Yesterday the Greek openSUSE community had it's first meeting.
The purpose of this meeting was all of those who are interesting on
participate to decide the next steps of our community together.
Me(Warlordfff) and Stathis(Diamond_gr) had no experience on how to
organize such a meeting so we made a lot of mistakes,had many
difficulties and many things went wrong but finally we managed to make
some decisions about certain points and we decided to have another
meeting exclusively at IRC this time,sometime next weekend.
The topics we talked was:
Official translation of 11.4 and the creation of a translators team about it.
Two members showed interest about it:
Kostas Boukouvalas (who is already a openSUSE translator)
Michael Vourlakos
Kostas Boukouvalas has created a wiki page about the translation
(http://el.opensuse.org/%CE%92%CE%BF%CE%AE%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1:%CE%9C%CE…
)
Forum: Creation of a Greek Section at http://forums.opensuse.org.
The members that expressed interest about taking responsibilities on
that section were:
Stratos Zolotas (Baskinsy)
Stathis Iosifidis (Diamond_gr)
Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff)
Kostas Boukouvalas (Boukouvalas)
George (Etern4l)
Wiki:We decided all members to contribute by translating parts of the
wiki in Greek.Also there was a suggestion about organizing a mini
hackfest for the translation of our wiki.
LI-F-E: We talked about making a Greek division of LI-F-E
incorporating the packages of the Greek ministry of education.
OBS:We decided to form a team about OBS,the team will take some
packages for maintenance and Support,also to create packages that are
not available for openSUSE (such packages are the packages of the
Greek ministry of education that we need so that we create our LI-F-E
division)
Finally we decided to process all that in our mailing list the whole
week and talk about all that and more at our next meeting.

The Greek openSUSE Team is pleased to inform you that the translation
of openSUSE Weekly News issue 150 is a fact, take a look:
http://el.opensuse.org/Weekly_news
Today is a Great day for the Greek Community, today after two meetings
we made to show all (including ourselves) that we were not just big
fat words and that we can make things happen as a team that is bigger
than 3 or 4 people. We know we are late, we were not in a hurry, we
wanted it done correctly. We made it and we are really proud of it.
When we started creating the Greek community many people told us that
it would end up a great failure. Today we say to them:
-You Are Wrong.
We know we have road ahead of us, but Every great journey must start
with one small step.
