[opensuse-marketing] Heads up! CFP for openSUSE Conference coming soon!
by Bryen M. Yunashko 26 May '10

26 May '10

Just a quick heads-up to all of you that the Conference planning team is finalizing the draft for the Call for Papers (CFP) for our openSUSE Conference in October. The plan is to finish the draft by next week and hopefully have it ready for distribution by the end of this month (if not earlier.) It will be our job to assist in spreading the word about CFP and reminding the world periodically between now and end of CFP period. So, keep this in mind and we'll talk about it at the next regularly scheduled Marketing Team meeting next week.

That I am working out..I work mainly with windows for my clients but am now putting dual boot of suse and windows as intro for new owners and the ability of suse to recover xp 'crashes' in short order..I am in the upstate area of South Carolina and recently joind a LUG "uclug" the ares I work are the tri-county areas around Clemson University .. I work under the lay ministry job description and love helping others. I take older no productive units that shops and others give me and referb them for others.

[opensuse-marketing] Preparing Wiki Launch on June 1st
by Rupert Horstkötter 20 May '10

20 May '10

Team, on June 1st we'll release the new wiki at wiki.o.o to the public, i.e. we'll switch the DNS to en.o.o. Thus it's time to prepare the PR side of things and come up with an announcement. I'll prepare it and I'm going to post it in parallel to the actual DNS switch on June 1st to news.o.o, opensuse-project ml and the forums (suggestions welcome for additional channels). That said, I'm looking forward to get brainstorming input from the team about what we actually have to present to the public on June 1st. I certainly will take care of the usual "social motivation and sexy presentation" but from a technical perspective I'd appreciate a kind of a list of new features and enhancements. Please try to provide answers on questions like 1. Why is the new wiki that great? 2. Why should people visit it? 3. What differs from the experience of the old wiki at en.o.o? 4. ... let your brain sputter :-) Gathering input on this should lead to a pretty cool presentation of the new wiki. I hope to utilize the momentum such an announcement generates in order to raise community's attention, i.e. to gain new contributors for the rest of the transtion from the, then archived, old wiki. I'll trigger Marketing (in CC:) to support us with Microblogging etc. in order to spread the news as much as we can at launch date. The announcement should be ready until last weekend of May, so gathering brainstorming input is open for approx. one week from now on. Thanks a lot in advance to everyone for supporting this, R -- Rupert Horstkötter, open-slx gmbh openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Community Assistant http://en.opensuse.org/User:Rhorstkoetter Email: rhorstkoetter(a)opensuse.org Jabber: ruperthorstkoetter(a)googlemail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
