[opensuse-marketing] common language
by jdd 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I just want to share an idea. I just heard (on the radio) a comment from a french consumer association about computers. Speaking about laptop, the speaker did not use the word "laptop" but "thouse computers sold with screen and keyboard included" (I try to translate from french). I knew openSUSE is not devoted to complete newbies, however... I wonder is we should not rethink completely part of our messages to fit people that uses webphones and mp3 readers, but do considere computer exactly like cars... not knowing any technical langage. If a people don't know what a laptop is, she may not understand at all what is a windows manager or a live cd... May be we should speak of "internet access cd, openSUSE version" or "Word processing openSUSE version", I don't really know :-) 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] ambassador/PR kit
by Jos Poortvliet 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi all, At the office Robert Lihm together with AJ and Michl (on his last few days...) have been working on assembling a nice PR kit which we'll send to our ambassadors. One thing for the kit we thought would be nice was a 'PR-how-to', basically taking some important info from the wiki like a how-to-organize-a- launch-party and other things and putting it on paper. I know that among others Manu and Kostas have been looking at that and working on it, as has Gnokii and others. Would any of those (or someone else) be willing to assemble a few of those things from the wiki (including talking points, the how-to's, FAQ etc etc) in an openoffice doc and send it to me? Just the text would be OK, Robert makes sure it looks good and we put it in the PR kit! Thanks in advance, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] presentations
by Jos Poortvliet 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi all, As I promised (but late) I made '2 slide presentations' about SUSE Studio and OBS. You can find them here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations They can be used stand alone (but I would then add a demo or slides with more screenshots) or as part of a larger presentation. They pack a lot of info in two slides, think about that! using a few more slides might be needed sometimes - think about your audience. I added additional information in the 'notes', so if you give a presentation you should look at that too to know what else to say. Point ppl to this if they want to talk about OBS or SUSE Studio ;-) I would welcome reviews and comments so I can improve them! Translations might also be useful. Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Writing!
by Jos Poortvliet 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hi all, Again thanks for participating in the collaboration day on Social Media. I have written an overview, I hope one of the news editors on this list has time to take a look and maybe find a pretty picture to accompany our success story :D Meanwhile there are a few things which are close to being finished, but aren't there just yet. My pet peeve: the short descriptions of openSUSE. They are here: http://ietherpad.com/idAZ997QVS I have used part of that text to make a start on the two folders that we'll need: http://piratepad.net/xKoBE4vmSM for potential contributors http://piratepad.net/d8xWTUwHq3 for potential users Both need a lot of work and any help here is appreciated too! I really appreciated the work done on the feature guide, I worked on it some more and I hope we can get it a bit further and finish it during the marketing meeting in Februari. Anyone who has some spare time, check it out here: http://manugupt1.ietherpad.com/4 I can however hapilly tell you that the article we wanted to write about new openSUSE projects is pretty much there now - some finishing touches and it can go live on news.opensuse.org! Great work all involved! Wow. That's a large bunch of writing things. I know not all of you like that stuff, so - who comes up with tasks that are less writy? ;-) Let me name one: we need themes for Identi.ca, Blogger and Twitter! Shouldn't be incredibly hard to make and I'm sure Robert Lihm, gnokki, Javier and our other artists can and will help here. Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE certified
by jdd 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hello an other idea :-) I know we have an Hadware compatibility list. Could we improve that with an "openSUSE certified" list? It could be pretty easy. Some vendors have computers line quite stable (I use an HP desktop). I would be just the matter of asking the testers to find some common hardware amoung us and devote some debugging activity just on this hardware, to have it 100% openSUSE compatible - simple with an identified test base. then we could make this model visible on the wiki as a "don't worry" option. Some sort of "please, devs, say what you use, I want the same" of course, I see this as a marketting object, that could be discussed with the devs, not a technical goal... we could use this computer to promote openSUSE 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] 9th Xariseto.gr Bazaar, December 28-29-30, 2010 - report
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hello my friends, Sorry to disturb you with reports of our events :-) This is our last for 2010. The last 3 days (28-30 of December) we were at the event organized by the web page xariseto.gr. This bazaar is for people who has some items that they don't need them and can be used by someone else. They bring it and leave them there and if they find something that they like, they can take it, without asking or pay. Our team was there to inform people about open source and openSUSE. We talked to many people. One of them was the local news reporter that we gave a PromoDVD and brochure. For full report and pictures you can visit our report page: http://opensuseambassadors.blogspot.com/2010/12/xarisetogr-bazaar-december-… Well, that's all for now. We wish you Happy New Year. Warm wishes to all of you and to your families.

[opensuse-marketing] Marketing Meeting to be in LA. Time to sign up!
by Jos Poortvliet 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi all, Bryen and myself have had a look at the approximate travel costs for the three options we have for the Marketing Meeting. The costs for each option are about equal - almost $15.000 for air travel alone. Yes, that is excluding local travel (trains in Europe for example) and hotel. We're darn international it seems :D Luckily it is not counting the fact that part of the team who wants to join will be at SCALE and FOSDEM, saving some costs (SCALE much more than FOSDEM). Still the costs are more than my budget affords me to pay. So I am going to be the dick here that makes the hard decisions as it is my budget. I went over the list and based on my own experience with all of you, with how much I think you'd learn from this (some of you already have much experinece) and how new you are (I prefer to bring at least some new ppl to a meeting like this) I have decided who I will sponsor and how much. Before I make the final decisions I'd like a travel cost estimate from all of you. Then I will tell you how much I will sponsor. Tell me also if you have the $$ to book in advance or not. I will usually reimburse 50% or 80% of your travel costs. For some, that simply is not enough - like if you're a student. Let me know that too. Now FYI: - I sponsor hotel for anyone who comes. So if I had to decide not to pay (all) your travel but you come anyway, you get the hotel for sure. Please understand I would love to pay all the travel so you could all be there but I just don't have the money! - The cheapest option is doing this in the USA. That is also good for the USA promo work - we all know how hard it is to promote openSUSE there (while in and around Nuremberg and FOSDEM we have plenty of promo). So we do our first Marketing Meeting in the City of Angels (LA). - I want to make the whole thing a few days longer so we get more value for the huge travel costs. 4 days it'll be. So this is what it will be: We have a marketing meeting in the 4 days before SCALE in Los Angelos, California, USA. Dates: Mon 21 start hackfest (pls arrive sunday evening!) SCALE: fri 25-sun 27 (it's OK if you have to leave a bit early, like sat night if you're from India and have a job on Monday) Hotel for all attendees will be fully paid from the Novell/openSUSE community budget. Please, all those who want to and can be there for those 4 days MM + 3 days SCALE (I expect you to stay for SCALE, yes), send an email with: - Name (like in passport), address, phone (international!) - most up to date travel costs in USD - how much reimbursement you would need to be able to come (50/80/100%) - if you can afford to pay and get reimbursement later - a short description/explanation of why you should be there - what do you intend to contribute and what are your contributions to date. Note that the travel costs must be realistic: I will decide to pay up to $$, not "your ticket price, no matter how expensive it suddenly turns out to be". I will make decisions (in dialog with my boss) on the travel support on individual basis. Those decisions are NOT up for discussion, sorry. It is how it is. Deadline for your travel cost estimates is Januari 4. I will contact each of you with my decision individually. I have updated the wiki page on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4_Marketing_Hackfest according to this. Greetings, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] 1ο OpenFest Open Christmas at Florina, December 24th 2010 (REPORT)
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Merry Christmas to all community. We wish you all the best to you and your families. A small team of the Greek openSUSE community decided to go on a Christmas roadtrip. So we drove about 200km to join the teachers of The Educational Computer Association of Florina at their event at the center square of the city. The event had to do with promoting FOSS at school and in general. Local elementary teacher Mr Ioannis Kaskamanidis, asked his students to join the booth and be the example of the results of FOSS in education. Ioannis, took the advantage that the educational system provides, and every student of his class has one XO. We also met a local doctor, Dr Evangelos Tsoukas, who translated and supports an open source software called openEMR for his job. We discuss with him the openSUSE Medical distro. Above all, we were happy that we could inform the locals for the advantage of FOSS and openSUSE. Althought it was a tiring trip for us We did our job and we had fun!!!

[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] 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?

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? I'm clueless about that. Also Gnokii I wasn't sure what the topic of the people one was, I thought 'international' but not sure. Also, I'm not too sure about a couple of the last images. I also need someone to check the Yast text, it's not quite complete and I'm not sure what else to say abou that. Some of the texts might seem a bit too short, in terms of not saying enough about the features, but we do need to keep them fairly brief I think. If you think I need to talk about something else, please add it and I'll try to work it in. Also please comment if you think any of the phrases need improvement, suggest alternatives, or if facts need correcting! http://piratepad.net/VQM25U4GMy thanks Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello my friends, Today we had the presentation of openSUSE Project. It was a great presentation for us all. Our subjects were the Project, the Greek Community, OBS and Installation of KDE. They joined ppl that use Windows and would love to migrate. It was a great chance for them to know how. Others would like to know more about packaging. They found some interest too. You can see full report and pictures here: http://opensuseambassadors.blogspot.com/2010/12/report-opensuse-project-pre… Have a lot of fun!!!
