Sorry, I forgot to say, I did the source in English trying to be exact to the original, just a few differences, because the font I used (Fifth-Leg) seems to be a little different from the one used in the original file, but in text size and position are the same. The Spanish text seems bigger compared to the English one, but in fact the font size for the Spanish text is smaller than the size in the English one, just that "Noticias Semanales" is longer than "Weekly News". Seems like my version is not very likable for the original author so apologize to him, but if anyone wants the *.xcf source file, I gladly may share it to the community, of we may just wait for the author to make some of his magic. ^_^ Best regards. >> RE: [opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Logo‏ From: Marco ''AlpVonKri'' Flores (alpdrucken(a)hotmail.com) Sent: Fri 3/12/10 2:14 AM To: buergermeister(a)karl-tux-stadt.de OK, that's what I wanted to see, if other members like it, to see If I should modify it or to wait for your source file.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Logo Font
by Francisco Arias 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi everybody, I was beginning to create an openSUSE template for Impress presentations and I was in the needing to write the words "openSUSE - Discover it" or something like that but the guidelines say that we don't must to change the original font. But there is no reference to this font in the Artwork section of the wiki, so searching the web I found the name: Cholla and, for my surprise, is a commercial font. I don't know if we need to add this to the 2010 Priorities List for marketing but if we pretend to create and release marketing stuff like this we need to do something about it.

At the next meeting, we will arrange the priorities in order of importance and timing. I will be sending another set of emails shortly (after I get new batteries for my wireless keyboard) that will offer summary of yesterday's meeting and also my thoughts/goals as the new Marketing Team Lead.

[opensuse-marketing] What and how to announce?
by Andreas Jaeger 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

During the last marketing meeting, we noticed that we have different means for marketing. I'm especially interested in one topic: Announcements. My text below is not complete, I'm sure I miss some parts but hope it helps for discussion and reaching a plan. Looking at announcements, we have at least these types of announcements: * team meetings, e.g. the openSUSE marketing meeting * trade shows, e.g. FOSDEM with a large openSUSE presence * product releases, e.g. openSUSE 11.2 or openSUSE Build Service 1.7 We use different media for announcing including: * A post on news.opensuse.org * An entry in the event calendar of news.opensuse.org * @opensuse twitter/identi.ca (automatically done for all posts on news.o.o) * An email to opensuse-announce * the openSUSE Weekly News * The front page www.opensuse.org * facebook, forums.o.o (note that I have no idea how stuff gets published there) I see at least the following tasks: * Define how the openSUSE project announces different types, this includes media and also schedule * How can the marketing team help teams with announcements? This might include distribution, e.g. putting it on news.o.o, and also editing or scheduling. * Figure out how to measure that our announcements are read and acted upon What did I miss? How do we want to achieve these?
