[opensuse-marketing] Your SEO Aims for Wiki and other documentation.
by Helen 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Regarding the meeting discussion on SEO, which AFAIK was rather unresolved. I use SEO principles every day so have a few thoughts on the matter, but first I want to clarify what the aims and constraints for openSUSE are. I'm not familiar with Wiki software, so my Main question is: With the wiki, is it possible to add meta title, keywords, description to individual pages or are you talking about one wiki-wide set of data? And are there any other serious constraints to optimizing the Wiki? (conventions?) Secondly, what is the AIM of optimizing the Wiki - and other documents (news, blogs). Is it - 1) make it easier for people to find the openSUSE pages they are looking for? (for example, make sure that someone searching for OBS step by step finds the right documentation) or 2) bring more traffic, and generate interest in openSUSE by optimizing for non-SUSE-specific topics? (so that someone searching for 'linux virtual server' finds an openSUSE page) Of course both are possible! I've sent this query to both wiki and marketing lists, as SEO can be considered when writing ANY documentation that will be published. It is not the mysterious black art that expensive webpreneurs would like you to think it is. It is a very simple, clear and easy process. Obviously for best results a bit of time needs to be invested, but even for a quick blog post it's possible to spend a few moments considering the SEO. I'll have some more detail on that soon, but first I'd like to hear what you are hoping to get out of the SEO process, how you see it fitting with our aims. World domination is certainly an option.... cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Collaboration Days conclude with a bang!
by Bryen M. Yunashko 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Folks, The openSUSE Marketing Team's Collaboration Days have concluded and Pascal (yaloki) entered the final statement into our log files as we closed up: "we can be heroes, just for one day" - David Bowie How fitting for us on days when so many marketing heroes stepped forward to make Collaboration Days a success. I'm going to leave the report for today's Social Media collaboration day to our fine moderators Manu Gupta and Jos Poortvliet to convey to you all, but for me, I just want to make a general statement. You all did a wonderful job and proved that when we need to come together, we can do it! So many tasks were identified over the last 3 events this month and identified many things that we need to focus on in 2011. So what's next? To be sure, we will definitely plan special Collaboration Days as the need arises within our team. Hopefully not with the intensity we faced this month with 3 weekly events, but still, we learned what works and what doesn't work. The next tentative "collaboration day" is actually a face-to-face hackfest which we are aiming for February. We encourage you all to take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4_Marketing_Hackfest Soon we will need to review the list of people who are interested and start making concrete plans for organizing this event. So what's next? Over the next few days (taking some time to celebrate the holidays of course), I will be compiling a grand list of Marketing ToDos on our wiki that combine the items we did not finish on our Collaboration days, other items not covered during the Days but still important for us to do, and etc. This will be an on-going living reference list that helps us to quickly identify what each of us can and want to do to complete the needs of the marketing team and supporting the promotion of openSUSE. Once I get this list started, I'll be encouraging you all to take a look at the list and commenting/suggesting items to the list. In the meantime, please... Enjoy the holiday season, be safe, and come back in 2011 strong, revitalized and energized! Thank you all, Bryen M Yunashko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] making something for openSUSE 12
by jdd 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hello, You may know there is an endless discussion on -project about the openSUSE version name. When go from 11.x to 12, and why? Kde; Gnome... I think all this is crap. No change in Gnome nor Kde wil impact *all* our users. I got an idea. May be *we have to create the event*. We have to think from now on how we can make the world shine for openSUSE 12!! (we have more than a year to complete the goal). This looks like a very interesting goal for the marketting team, don't you think? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] great little Firefox addon idea.
by Helen 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

I was just sorting out a bookmark solution since Delicious is about to disappear, and found this listed as 'highly rated' A ready reference to the Ubuntu resources for the Italian community. What a little ripper of an idea! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4684/ Would it be difficult to create something like this? cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] FACTORY TUMBLEWEED EVERGREEN MOBILE - text needs YOUR input
by Helen 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Ok I've no idea what to write about Factory, Tumbleweed and Evergreen, and I'm not too sure about Mobile either. I need someone to at least find some key points to focus on for these. Searches aren't giving me much to work with so I need SOMEONE WHO KNOWS to write some ideas. Note that this is really an advertising pitch, NOT documentation - it doesn't have to have everything, just key fun facts or useful things to catch the reader's attention and make them want to know more. Please, if you know anything at all take ten minutes to jot down a few ideas. These texts need to be finished so that the posters can be ready in plenty of time for the conferences early the New Year. thanks Helen http://piratepad.net/VQM25U4GMy On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 8:10 PM, Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Friday 17 December 2010 05:35:57 Helen wrote: >> I made some reasonable progress with the text today, organized them so >> they are in the order of the examples as posted by Gnokki, with >> headline, topic (for reference) and text below. >> >> If someone could write something about Factory please?
