** Reply Requested by 6/16/2010 (Wednesday) ** Well done AJ.

I'd >like to have a kind of "Virtual Eventkit" for us. I think not only me but all others ambassadors are anxious to get hands on that material to start localize to our home language. After that my sugestion is to publish translated materials on home basis, I mean, In Brazil and I believe in all countries, have some small linux communities groups, maybe not big ones but tousands of little ones, we must make our translated materials available to this groups, also ambassadors blogs, facebooks, .... >How should we do this? Are you taking about some possible tools to make us able to provide theis materials? or a way to spread the message? I know Novell have a partnership with Eluminate and Webex. Maybe we can use that infra-structure to help us. What do you think? You can create a video blog explaining the entire idea about "Virtual Eventkit" also how to use it then publish in our http://opensuse.blip.tv/ >What about creating a git repository and adding the stuff there - and linking >from our Marketing pages to the repository? could be Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Southeast Linuxfest
by Chuck Payne 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Guys, I wish you guys could have come. The Southeast Linuxfest was great. I like to first thanks James Mason from the 11.2 DVD, Poster, Zypper Cheat, and broads. Jon Regan for 11.2 DVD he had. The Novell Team in Atlanta for the SUSE Enterprise Linux DVD. Yancy Smith for the help. The event was great. Because of the short number of 11.2 DVD, I had burn a number of DVD and CD myself. These were openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e(Linux for Education), openSUSE Gnome Live CD (32bit and 64bit), and openSUSE 11.2 DVD. I took with me this time three laptops. One was running a set of slides about the openSUSE Community, high lighting Build Service and SUSE Studio. The second laptop ran openSUSE 11.2. The third running openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7. I also made about 300 copies of Zypper Cheat sheet that James sent me. VIM Cheat Sheet, The One Page Linux Command Sheet and a sheet that I create for openSUSE with basic commands. I boot up on the one laptop running openSUSE Li-f-e to let a couple of teacher play with it. They really love the LTSP and how we had our apps were laid out. One of the top questions that was ask a lot was, "What makes SUSE stand out above other distro?" I had got to help one user that was having issue with the video drivers. He had a Nvidia Card that when he installed it wouldn't load correct. He was really upset that it was doing that, I show him on one of my laptops how when you about to install it, to use VESA setting. He was so happy. I got a lot great comments about people been using since such and such version. I was really surprise to see the openSUSE Gnome Live CD with 11.3 milestone go so quick. At one point I had to burn more. One sad note, people keep asking me where the Tuxes were and Geekoes. I had two Geekos, that I gave to people that asked me if they could test drive openSUSE on my laptops. Oh, I would like to thanks for the Geekos I got, they are very different than the ones we have here in the states and people notice. They Love Them! I volunteer with passing out the gifts at the end of the show. I am planning to help out next with Southeast Linux. -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] Rolling with the 11.3 Posse!
by Bryen M. Yunashko 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

As stated in my previous email, yesterday we had a wonderful discussion about 11.3 Release campaign planning and tasks. We have assigned people to coordinate various tasks and you can see the list here: http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing/Team/11_3_Launch Please take a moment to look carefully. If you see something you'd like to do, volunteer! Even if there is already a coordinator, still VOLUNTEER! The more people help out on specific tasks, the easier it is to complete those tasks. If you don't see something on the list that you'd like to do, feel free to add a new task to the list and just DO IT! :-) If you have questions, talk to any one of us on the team and we'll do our best to answer. Thanks to Michael Loeffler for getting this list going. It's a great list.
