[opensuse-marketing] What do LUGs look for?
by Manu Gupta 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi All, We all have LUGs in our region at least most of them must be having one I suppose. My question is How do LUGs promote linux all over the world? What all things does the LUGs take under consideration? If LUGs are choosing a distro of your choice, how do LUGs go about it? -- Regards MANU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, I've left a couple of lines in my blog regarding a decision I've made on the design of the Fedora SWOT. This is more or less a raw approach from my side to the concept in a way I hope the community can understand it. This is probably the very first of a set of documents I will contribute to the community, for present or future reference. I'm not sure on how, but most likely in PDF with some backup presentations and wiki. Feel free to use the contents as you wish, with openSUSE or any project you have. I'll keep the list informed. The main motivation is maybe that we all are on the same side promoting free software and GNU/Linux. - http://aborrecido.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/service-mix-yes-it-does-concern-… Kindest Regards, nelson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] DVD Requirements for openSUSE install fest
by Manu Gupta 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I am trying for an install fest for openSUSE 11.3 but that is not possible before September as in our colleges students wont get their laptops before that. I am speaking of the laptops and September time because we have around 100 or sometimes more students from the freshmen year participating in install fests but the count of students from later years is hardly one or two and that in my opinion would be the best time in Manipal Institute Of Technology. I would require 150 DVDs, if there are some left I can keep on distributing it to students who have not attended the install fests. My address is Mr Rajeev Kumar Gupta C-3, Block II Dibang Residency Pension Para Road Chandmari Guwahati -781003, Assam PS I am not writing this on the launch party wiki because I think September end will be too late for that and the exact time is not sure but it is bound to happen -- Regards MANU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Promotional Video Concept for upcoming release
by Shayon Mukherjee 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi all, I missed to discuss this in the meeting today (personal reasons :-) ) . So I have a concept/idea on what Promo video should be like.Since it is just a proposal , further additions or opinions are very much welcome. Before you start - try to imagine the scenario as it goes and sorry in advance , my writing skills are not excellent :-) so it may be difficult for you to understand . But together we can work this out. Layout- The theme of the video will be: Statue feature - people or rather the surrounding stops (giving an astonished look [1] ) seeing a person using openSUSE and the feature (the latest additions). And when the boy moves out (giving a bit strange and cute look) - shut his Laptops lid , things get back to normal , that is - no one is in statue mode anymore . For example , say the First Scene could be- The boy is with his machine (laptop) in the park (something like this [2] ) browsing the system also at the same time the feature will be showcased and a Man passes by, it would great if we make him wear a geek t-shirt :-) . Okay! , so as soon the man sees the boy working on his machine the man stops (statue mode) giving an astonished look - a bit less than this [1] :-) .Then the boys eye turns toward the man , he wonders what happened and moves out . [[ End of first scene]]. This kind of thing goes on , say for around 2 more scenes , thus making it more interesting. Say the second scene in a mall?. And then we end the movie by mentioning "openSUSE XX.X - Get it or stay where you are" (well we can improvise the statement too- this is just for now :-) ) So now , I am waiting to hear from you all . On how we can modify this more or you have something else to share? If so plz reply back . One last thing , this kind of thing can take a lot of time . So IMO it would be better for 12.0 . Or , am I the only thinking that way :-) ?
