[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE vs. Fedora
by Kim Leyendecker 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hello friends! I want to do a presentation, that compares openSUSE with Fedora. I tried to install the DVD-version of Fedora 14 "Laughlin" on a virtual machine, and I think, it will be nice to compare the two biggest rpm-distros with each other. So, for everyone who wants to help: * I need some people who tests Fedora for a day and write a short text about it. * I need some people who tests openSUSE for a day and write a short text about it. * I need some people who tests Rawhide for a day and write about it. * I need some people who tests Factory for a day and write about it. So far, I´m looking forward to a hopefully nice presentation about it! kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker(a)hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE Kernel-desktop 2.6.34-12 & using Tumbleweed This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?

[opensuse-marketing] SCALE SoCal Linux Expo --- Howdy - What's up? Anything I can do?
by Tony Su 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Am willing to spend some time doing whatever in between the time I'm doing whatever at the conference. You can get a idea of my OpenSuSE background, my username in the OpenSuSE Forums is tsu2. Also, any other unpublished SuSE get-togethers? Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Fwd: flyer
by Helen 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

G'day, here's the poster we threw together for Jos yesterday, and thanks to the folks who helped with this. It's pretty rough, lots of things could be improved but with just a few hours from concept to completion I'm pretty happy. It's the first time I've really used Scribus too. So this needs a bit of polishing before it is included in our resources. (improve text and design, fix alignment. Maybe lose some of the box borders for a cleaner look. That sort of thing.) This one was to be printed black and white, but I was thinking, if it was printed in color, some sort of blue ice theme would be fun, to play on the 'cool' idea. By the way Scribus is a bloody excellent program, if you haven't tried it do have a go. It's surprisingly intuitive, at first I had to hunt around the menus to find the attribute I wanted to edit but it didn't take long to start making sense. If you are using Scribus, stick with the current versio n for now (3.3.? I think rather than the 3.9 version which is not backwards compatible). cheers Helen

[opensuse-marketing] 11.4 disc timeline?
by James Mason 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

LinuxFest Northwest, Northwest USA's 'grass roots' Linux event, is scheduled for April 30 & May 1st, 2011. Is it anticipated that 11.4 media will be available by then? If not, will it be possible to get ISOs for the disc, to reproduce locally? The combined Live Gnome / Live KDE / Installer disc is a *huge* draw. - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello mates, YAGLB (http://www.yaglb.com) is one of the most high traffic Linux Blogs. The name is close to openSUSE since it means Yet Another Greek Linux Blog (as we say yast). I wrote a short article in Greek about openSUSE connect. Check it out. http://kigka.blogspot.com/2011/01/opensuse-connect-facebook.html Have a lot of fun!!!

[opensuse-marketing] Why openSUSE?
by Jos Poortvliet 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi all, Besides the "what's cool in openSUSE" I also worked on the arguments on our talking page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points#Why_openSUSE Have a look, add, fix, comment please!!! We should actively point our ambassadors to this and our other resources there! I think it'd be great if, once we are happy with the arguments there, we create some kind of PDF out of it to give to our ambassadors for easy reference at conferences. What'd ya'all think? Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] PDF posters
by Pieter De Decker 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi guys and gals, I just wanted to drop by to share some A4-sized PDF posters that I've made. They highlight some of the nice things that are part of the openSUSE experience and are targeting experienced computer users. I'm not a graphic designer nor a marketer, but I hope that they're useful. Click the links below to view an online preview of each ad. The preview doesn't seem to support the Bitstream Vera font, so it's not entirely accurate. Hopefully the font renders correctly in your PDF reader. The files are quite large, but I wanted to include high-quality images so that you can zoom in to at least 300% before the images start getting blurry. -- Configure your updater to stick with stable software or update to newer but less tested versions -- This one plays on the fact that openSUSE offers both "conservative" repositories that will keep you stable and "progressive" repositories that keep you up-to-date with the latest releases that may not have been tested thoroughly. http://www.box.net/shared/8qohqvgkbo -- Get help from the active openSUSE community -- Unlike Windows, openSUSE offers a nice official place where people can go and ask questions about problems they're experiencing. (I'm not saying that there aren't any good unofficial Windows forums out there though!) http://www.box.net/shared/ex53eivd8d -- YaST eases the task of configuring your system -- Instead of modifying system configuration files manually, you can use YaST to save a lot of time. http://www.box.net/shared/sn7tnxqq8e I've used background images that are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial 2.0 license.
