[opensuse-marketing] Press DVD for 12.1

by Strainu

Hi, Back in the days of 10.2 (if I'm not mistaken), there was a Press DVD, that could either be run as a liveDVD or installed as the regular DVD. Is there something like this planned for 12.1? If so, where can we get it from? Thanks, Strainu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] closing old facebook pages

by Jos Poortvliet

Heya all, I did a google search for our facebook pages. Google said that these are the ones we currently have: https://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/45393742283; product/service with 2600 likes http://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/107715102589260; Interest with 5200 likes http://www.facebook.com/OpenSUSECentral; community page with 5280 likes http://www.facebook.com/groups/opensuseproject/; group page with 5900 members I do not know who owns the first one, but I think it should go. I see Bryen making frequent posts, maybe he can make that happen? We should then try and let people know that the other pages are the ones they should go to. In that regard, the second one, despite the 5200 likes, should imho go too. Again I do not know who 'owns' it but I see Stuart making frequent posts, could you do this, Stuart? Then we need to get you and byren added to the ones left: the community page and the facebook group. These two are the most active so I think it makes most sense to focus on them. And obviously I'd rather see the OpenSUSECentral stay as it has a much prettier URL. I will try to get OpenSUSECentral renamed to openSUSE. There is an individual with that name, let's see if we can get it. If not, let's at least try to rename OpenSUSECentral to openSUSECentral. Gertjan is one of the masters of the OpenSUSECentral page. Gertjan, could you give me and SatManUK (stuart tanner, http://www.facebook.com/georgianpropertiesuk) access too? Stuart offered to be our social media master for the openSUSE 12.1 release so he has things to post to the page and I just like to be in control :D Comments, suggestions? Please, if you know who can change anything on the first two pages, let me know! If we can't remove them we can at least put a notice and a link there to our 'big' pages... Cheers, Jos

Re: [opensuse-marketing] openSUSE/Linux crash statistics available anywhere?

by Richard Brown

Kim, Heres some statistics, ripped from www.suse.com In a recent survey conducted by the Information Technology Intelligence Corporation, respondents reported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server exhibited on average 17.4 minutes of unplanned downtime per server per year. Compare this with 35.4 minutes for Oracle Solaris, 67.2 minutes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 145.2 minutes for Windows Server 2008. The same study found that the average time to patch a server (planned downtime) with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was 15 minutes, versus 31 minutes for Solaris, 27 minutes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 32 minutes for Windows Server 2008. By minimizing both planned and unplanned downtime with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, your business gains more access to the applications, systems and data it depends on to generate revenues and stay competitive.

Such numbers are not available and, even then, how would those be collected in the first place ? * what's a crash? an application? the kernel? * using a beta or a stable? a package from the distro or an addon repo? And.. you will *never* get such numbers for Windows or Microsoft applications, that's for sure :) Actually, no one wants to collect and publish such numbers in the first place. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE/Linux crash statistics available anywhere?

by Kim Leyendecker

Hey friends, While talking to a friend, we also talked about MSN / Windows Live on Linux. I told him about aMSN and that I like it more then Windows Live for Windows, because it´s more stable. So, the thought of a crash statistic (which OS crashes more?) about Linux vs. Windows came to my mind. Does we (or others) have such a statistic? I would love comparing both OS´s in different areas, foremost stability. what do you think? -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
