[opensuse-marketing] little report from Linuxwochen Vienna
by S.Kemter 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, So last time I did my reports only as blogpost and it looks many person registered it there not. I make a short report here too. Prusnak, Miska and me was last week at Linuxwochen in Vienna. We made a booth there, and showed openSUSE factory there. We had a lot of conversations there, one guy braught some paper with his questions that took us all 3 hours to answer them all. We made some installations and some of ur users happy there. Pavol and Miska had a talk. Pavol about GameStore and Miska about the upcoming openSUSE 11.3 and her features. Then we had 3 workshops Pavol and Miska did one about OBS and had 6 ppl in that workshop 2 of them was developer I know, so I think they uses OBS after that workshop. I had 2 workshops one about Gimp and one about Inkscape. Both was filled up. That means there was 20 ppl in it. In Gimp there was some more but they sit on the bottom and cant work so they just listen it. The event had arround 1.200 vistors on all days. On the end we had a great presentation there and the organizers from the Linuxwochen decided to help us again with a Launch Party and more the society that organizes the Linuxwochen Vienna, would help us to found a openSUSE user group in Vienna. Thats a good idea because there exists no Linux User Group, they only have Groups like Debianna there. The society has a room and would spent it to the user group one day a week. So when we make a good Launch Party in Vienna, its possible to have a local organization there. br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE @ LinuxTag - concept to be discussed
by Michael Loeffler 10 May '10

10 May '10

Moin, see attached the draft I made in cooperation with an high profile and very expensive advertising agency. So please handle it with respect. First some back round. The outstanding openSUSE project was accepted to receive a project booth at LinuxTag, Berlin. Those booths are normally rather small as they come at no cost. But the organizer told us, if you come up with a smart concept we may give you a larger space or group you with other projects on a so called island booth (which is of course much more attractive as being locked in a shoe box). Therefor we put up two proposals a) and b). a) is the shoe box and b) a larger booth with a very smart concept. Proposal a) - 3x2 metres - with 2 workstations (called "C" in the draft) - 1 side board to store what ever we have (called "S" in the draft) - 2 openSUSE roll-up sign Proposal b) - 5x2 metres - with 2 workstations (called "C" in the draft) - 1 side board to store what ever we have (called "S" in the draft) - 2 openSUSE roll-up sign - 1 presentation area with screen and 5 chairs Now the very smart concept for that one: - henne and other nobel prize winners will tutor interested people some highly secret stuff such as hacking your first plasmoid, rolling a package in the build service etc.. We think about up to 4 sessions each up to 2h per day - Each day at 5pm will do the well known openSUSE quiz where people can win terrific prizes such as openSUSE t-shirts, openSUSE soccer ball or even a Kicker subscription to stay up to date around soccer - As during LinuxTag the well known and not interesting soccer world champion ship starts wee may use our screen to broadcast soccer games live (provided we conquer any technical hurdles) to attract countless people to our booth. Please let me know what you think about both proposals above. Do I completely miss the point or can we rescue it with some fine tuning. Btw: when I understand the LinuxTag guys correctly we can call out wishes with which project we may be a perfect fit on such an island booth. Please check http://www.linuxtag.org/2010/en/visitors/exhibition.html and tell me who might be the perfect fit for us.

[opensuse-marketing] Delivery to Russia
by Жирнов Дмитрий 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hello I want to start a topic that I was very worried. Not long ago I joined the opensuse-marketing group. Seeing the store on the site, I had an idea to order things with the attributes of the project. Choosing what interested me, I started the checkout process. After reaching the page delivery, I could not find my country in the list, although the area is larger than all of Europe =) The idea is that it would be nice to enable delivery to Russia, too. This would be a good advertisement, seeing me, with others would arise the question "What is it shown on your shirt?". This occurs because most people around me do not even represent that a computer can set something other than windows =) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

I needed to do some experimenting with CSS3 & HTML5 techniques, so I figured I might as well do something beneficial with my experiments. http://eleven-three.info or http://eleven-three.heroku.com hosts the site I'm working on, and the source is available on github at http://github.com/bear454/release-counter Let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see change. I'm planning next to * add some feed info from news.o.o and twitter * create a mobile version using jQtouch for iPhoneOS & Android * create an embeddable 'widget' Cheers! - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] OBS Marketing: First Step
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 07 May '10

07 May '10

Hello Mates, Now it's time to start. We're planning an Article Series about OBS. As first Article in this Topic we like to publish an Article about, what OBS is. In http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing_Team/OBS we find two Options. First: The *.odt File (long Version) and second: the Draft of 1.8 (both by Andreas Jaeger), For my eyes the first looks good, because it is the completest Article i've ever read about OBS. So please help to decide which Article we should publish. First or Second. Then we need a Slogan for making Marketing about OBS. From suseROCKs comes the Idea: "openSUSE BuildService is not just for openSUSE". Have you other Proposals. We are afraid about hear from you... -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)

[opensuse-marketing] Buzzwords describing 11.3
by Will Stephenson 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi List I'm new here so please excuse me if this has been asked before, but what are the key themes for 11.3? I ask because I'm coordinating with the KDE artwork project for KDE's branding for 11.3 and they want input from us. Can we come up with some buzzwords to inspire artists, eg something like 'agility'/'speed'? (move to upstart/integration of moblin fast boot features) Will -- Will Stephenson, KDE Developer, openSUSE Boosters Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nürnberg - AG Nürnberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
