We are an open source project where many people jointly work on a lot of things. On the distribution, the wiki or on spreading the word on conferences. We also work together on our web-pages. So if you want to contribute to the openSUSE projects web presence it makes little sense to keep your contributions outside the project on your own page. You should instead help to make the official pages better for the reasons i stated above. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

[opensuse-marketing] Goals for openSUSE Greek team
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello from Thessaloniki, Greece. We started the first ever greek web portal about openSUSE. http://www.opensuse.org.gr Our plan consists in two areas right now: 1) openSUSE Ambassadors 2) openSUSE Greek Translators Good job was done during the previous decade on the greek localization of openSUSE by the team Hellenic SuSE and later openSUSE Translation Group (http://www.hostra.gr - you probably can find it at Web Archive searching for http://hostrag.gr) which was dissolved around 2007. Stathis Iosifidis (Ambassador, 2010) Kostas Boukouvalas (Translator, 2004-2007) Soon there will be a forum and the third objective of 3) openSUSE Forum Bandits Regards, Stathis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

The suggestion I have is to look at the wiki and see if it is helpful for you. If you can't find things or think stuff is missing, let us know so we can fix it!

[opensuse-marketing] Questions and answers
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Dear Ambassadors, As you are the 'openSUSE frontline', you get asked critical questions about openSUSE. The marketing team would of course want to help you with that, answering those questions for you and helping you to find the needed arguments. That is why we set up this page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points Would you all be willing to have a look at it and put questions you get on the bottom of that page so we can see them and try to answer them? Thank you very much! Jos Poortvliet

[opensuse-marketing] Work work!
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Dear friends, A while ago the following list was created: http://piratepad.net/1BhrwTboSg It is a list of things we can do for the ambassadors to support them in what they do - spreading the word about openSUSE. This list is huge - and many of the things won't be done quickly. But there is low-hanging fruit in there. Some of those things we already have, either on the old wiki or already on the new one. It is being gathered and linked to on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Marketing Now what is needed is that ppl (you, yes) go through the list and either add links to the wiki pages where such information can be found, or add more information. It ain't difficult - it just takes some of your time. You've all been enthousiastic about doing stuff, now's the time to step up ;-) Go to the piratepad link and see if there is something you are interested in. And pick it up - announce you want to do it and start doing it! You don't have to do it completely, or perfectly - if you're english is bad, no problem. If you only know half of what you need to know, put that half in there - even if it's just notes, it doesn't matter. Add the links and mail us to let others look at it and add their thoughts. In general, what is needed is somebody to START a page and make a beginning. From there onwards it will move, I promise. So if you want to do more than *discuss* things, if you want to really make a difference, this is how to do it! Questions? Ask on the list or contact me privately. Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Reply of Promotion DVD`s of Open SuSE 11.3
by Peter Michl 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Dear SuSE Marketinggroup, I just want to give a short reply about the received promotion DVD`s. I work at school with this and it is a great pleasure for me to do so, because my pupils are able to get one DVD from Open SuSE. They are now in the position to install the software we use at school and to train any matter we discussed. Also I get replies from pupils who already left school. They have an eye at Open SuSE and work further on with it. Therefore I want to thank OpenSuSE for the great supply for my pupils.
