[opensuse-marketing] Marketing Materials and Ambassador Roles
by amonthoth 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello, Looking for some ideas, suggestions, guidelines promoting openSUSE effectively. I am giving some talks for business people, academics, students and health care professionals in Panama City enhancing the benefits and advantages to work with openSUSE Linux Desktops and Servers. Now volunteer working for the FLISoL Panama 2010 with an audience expected up to 1000 people only at one of the locations. Also starting and organizing the openSUSE Panama Linux Users Group was asking myself what is the next step as an openSUSE Ambassador and how can I get some support from openSUSE org (Marketing Materials, Banners, T-Shirts, Posters, DVDs, Badges, Videos, Toys, etc.). Until now I have been happily providing these stuffs from my own. How do other communities generate some funds to operate and sharing basic resources with members and the general audiences we are trying to impact with open SUSE products as rewards for their active participation on talks ? Best regards, -- Ricardo Chung a.k.a. amonthoth openSUSE Ambassador for Panama http://en.opensuse.org/User:Amonthoth http://es.opensuse.org/Usuario:Amonthoth http://twitter.com/amon0thoth1 http://www.opensuse.org/en/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Not another announcement! I wasted all my marketing mojo on the last two. Is there anyone who wants to take up the task of writing the M3 announcement? *puppyeyes* Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Hi gnokii I'm Marco "AlpVonKri" Flores, coordinator of the openSUSE Weekly News in Spanish, I'm writing this mail to ask you if you may do localized versions of the great OWN icons you did: http://en.opensuse.org/images/6/66/Opensuse_weekly_news.png http://en.opensuse.org/images/6/6d/Opensuse_weekly_news_banner.png Or share the fonts, source file and instructions, so every coordinator may change it to a localized version (It's just change "Weekly News" to "Noticias Semanales", etc). I'm asking this personally for the Spanish version, but also consider it to be a good idea for every language. Thanks. Greetings. -- Eng.

Agustin can receive the package and then distribute the > contents to the respective places. For Granada with 95.000 ppl they live there a very good output. But the sum of the visitors isnt so important Important is that u are to be attempt and showing the ppl openSUSE. When u looking after the event page, we can say we have a better result as last year. And that is good, very good. We have now 14 events with openSUSE ppl, I can say that I am proud of you. But keep going there is always an better. > > One thing we have learned is that openSUSE is one of the most > requested distributions on these events. The other one is Ubuntu > but... well... that's because nobody's perfect :p think thats worldwide the same. Chanonical achieved that with a big marketing etat but now the pot is empty. No more free shipping ;) I hope openSUSE isnt so requested because u give all they ask for an DVD an shirt or such stuff ;) An last thing what I have to say, dont forget to filling on the page what awaits the ppl there they visit the event. Keep talkng about ur planings on lizards and the planet so that all can see what u are doing. When u have no chance to publish it on this way sending me some information, I think I write a story when it is time. br gnokii > > Regards! > > > > 2010/3/1 S.Kemter <buergermeister(a)karl-tux-stadt.de> > Am Sonntag, den 28.02.2010, 20:10 -0600 schrieb Decks: > > In Nicaragua we have 3 FLISOL in different places, here the > link: > > > > > http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing_Team/Events/FLISOL_10#Nicaragua > > > > so how novell help us with DVDs, T-shirts, Animals etc etc. > > > > Think thats for sure but u should define amount what u need. > For Chile > and Venezuela we send the whole package to one of the > organizers and he > distribute them.
