[opensuse-marketing] Slides for Conference...
by Nelson Marques 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, I've already uploaded my presentation on PDF and ODP and you are free to grab it from my fedorapeople.org space[1]. No new contents, just rephrased some of them to become more friendly and stripped down some contents to what really matters. I'm also building a support page for those slides for people not attending the conference where I will explain (not in detail) what is behind them. I will annouce soon that page (opensuse wiki) as it's not yet under wiki guidelines.

[opensuse-marketing] General question about engaging asian communities
by R. Tyler Croy 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I hope this isn't entirely off-topic, but I wanted to ask for some advice and maybe some of the history when engaging asian (specifically Japanese) communities/users. In other OSS projects I'm involved in we have hit the challenge that openSUSE has with engaging non-English speaking users and I'm wondering how you tackle it, specifically overcoming some cultural barriers. The openSUSE team localizes communications outward to the various communities but what about bringing contributors from those non-English speaking (in this case japanese) contributors back into the project? Is it better to cultivate small subcommunities per-language instead? - R. Tyler Croy -------------------------------------- GitHub: http://github.com/rtyler Twitter: http://twitter.com/agentdero

[opensuse-marketing] Request for promotional material for events in Thessaloniki, Greece
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hello friends, The LUG I'm member will participate to the International Trade fair in Thessaloniki, Greece [1]. It will be 11-19 of September 2010. You're welcome to visit my country. We'll setup a small area with computers with some games and we will cooperate with scouts of my city, for the parallel event Kids and Fun [2]. With this area, we will have a booth where we will inform parents and everyone who's interested about FOSS. According to their first page [1], they had 250000 visitors for the whole fair last year.We expect minimum about 10000 Adult visitors and over 25000 kids and teenagers to our event. Since it's Software Freedom Day during the fair period, we discuss with them to have a small booth dedicated to this special day for us. Since it's in discussion along with other parallel activities our LUG (and we as openSUSE ambassadors will be there), we didn't write it on the official SFD page, but we plan to do it until Thursday when all of this will be official. As ambassadors, we'll organize the openSUSE team (with Kostas Koudaras [3] who applied for ambassador) of the LUG to be present there. For that reason I ask you to send as many as cds/dvds you think we can have and also any other promotional material you can provide us. Language isn't a problem since there will be from other countries as well (the page [1] say 20 countries). Although we will translate and give away some kind of general information Brochure or Flyer about openSUSE in Greek. Also, on 1-3rd October 2010, we'll participate in an open event (Park Festival) about the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Scouts but this time we will have also a 2 small talks one for the kids and one for parents-teachers and a tent over the entire course of events. The talks will be about the FOSS and will present 2-3 distributions (openSUSE,Ubuntu,Fedora). I'm thinking to present L-i-f-e to professors-parents. For that event I was told that we expect about 2000. Kostas Koudaras [3] will help me organizing a small booth for openSUSE. So we also need promotional material. At the International Trade Fair (11-19 of September) and the Park Festival (1-3 of October) we will have mostly kids and teenagers so we already planned some games around FOSS and openSUSE but due to the long period of events if anyone has a good suggestion about a game so that we could keep their attention for more please tell us about it... For Software Freedom Day we are planning on visiting a junior High school (we will announce which school in a couple of days when it'll be official from both sides) where we will have the time to make an introduction of openSUSE (after our LUG's presentations of FOSS) to the students and at the end of that we arranged to have a meeting with the school teachers to introduce them openSUSE L-I-F-E and maybe make arrangements for installing it on a class for testing it. We expect on taking great amount of experience from all this and write everything about it on the wiki, along with any kind of problems we may find in our path.We will try and expect on expanding the Greek openSUSE community to another level. We can combine all three events on sending us promotional items, to eliminate costs.

IANAL but i don't think that responsibility about criminal actions is possible for legal entities, only for individuals. So to stay in your example: The individual that acts criminal is liable. What we will try to do is to have an association/club/society that can take responsibility off individuals in terms of liability for actions that are the purpose of the association. Means when our association concludes a contract about renting an office the association is liable and not the individuals signing it. Or if our association is organizing an event and someones coat gets dirty because the paint on one of the seats isn't dry the association is liable and not the individual member that painted it. You get the picture... So if your example would not involve criminal actions the association that organizes the event (the L.U.G.) is liable and at least in Germany you can get a liability insurance which covers people that help out one-time or sporadically. It's all legal mumbo jumbo and as you can see it's not done with a simple signature... Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

[opensuse-marketing] Nürnberg - SocialBar (20.10.2010)
by Javier Llorente 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi list-mates, I have recently discovered SocialBar and I thought it could be interesting for people attending the openSUSE Conference. It takes place the 20th of October in Nuremberg (what a coincidence). The main idea behind this SocialBar seems to be social networking. http://www.socialbar.de/wiki/Nuernberg Cheers, -- Javier Llorente
