[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE University/Campus/Acadamie
by Johann Els 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi All, I was referred to the Marketing list on an idea I had last year December :-) The idea.... I had seven delegates yesterday in a workshop installing and configuring openSUSE 11.3, What happed was that the delegates was doing their A+ and N+ certification... They told me that they got more information in the workshop than in a regular training campus and they want more hands on workshops! So this made me think is there a way we can create some sort of University/Campus/Acadamie where School leavers and Graduates can do a Certificate "Workshop" in openSUSE and from there they can springboard to a CLA/CLP/CLE certification? These chaps that I trained wanted to work for free just to get experience!!! "I would think it is the same in the world" They have "Book IT Knowledge" but no practical experience. These workshops I believe will help. What is your view? Johann

[opensuse-marketing] common language
by jdd 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I just want to share an idea. I just heard (on the radio) a comment from a french consumer association about computers. Speaking about laptop, the speaker did not use the word "laptop" but "thouse computers sold with screen and keyboard included" (I try to translate from french). I knew openSUSE is not devoted to complete newbies, however... I wonder is we should not rethink completely part of our messages to fit people that uses webphones and mp3 readers, but do considere computer exactly like cars... not knowing any technical langage. If a people don't know what a laptop is, she may not understand at all what is a windows manager or a live cd... May be we should speak of "internet access cd, openSUSE version" or "Word processing openSUSE version", I don't really know :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] ambassador/PR kit
by Jos Poortvliet 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi all, At the office Robert Lihm together with AJ and Michl (on his last few days...) have been working on assembling a nice PR kit which we'll send to our ambassadors. One thing for the kit we thought would be nice was a 'PR-how-to', basically taking some important info from the wiki like a how-to-organize-a- launch-party and other things and putting it on paper. I know that among others Manu and Kostas have been looking at that and working on it, as has Gnokii and others. Would any of those (or someone else) be willing to assemble a few of those things from the wiki (including talking points, the how-to's, FAQ etc etc) in an openoffice doc and send it to me? Just the text would be OK, Robert makes sure it looks good and we put it in the PR kit! Thanks in advance, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] presentations
by Jos Poortvliet 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi all, As I promised (but late) I made '2 slide presentations' about SUSE Studio and OBS. You can find them here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations They can be used stand alone (but I would then add a demo or slides with more screenshots) or as part of a larger presentation. They pack a lot of info in two slides, think about that! using a few more slides might be needed sometimes - think about your audience. I added additional information in the 'notes', so if you give a presentation you should look at that too to know what else to say. Point ppl to this if they want to talk about OBS or SUSE Studio ;-) I would welcome reviews and comments so I can improve them! Translations might also be useful. Cheers, Jos
