[opensuse-marketing] organizing git
by jdd 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hello, I just got the last version of git I really think we should organize it better; now it's a bit difficult to find for sure the most relevant document. I don't want to change anything myself not to disturb anybody. What I propose is that we create subfolders around date or distro number depending of the subject. If a document is closely related to a distro number (for example boot screen, slides), paste it in a "11.4", "12.1"... folder. If the document is more general, paste it to a "year" folder. For example "2010", "2011" for poster, flyers... additionnally this would make obvious if a folder is not updated. what do you think? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] A thought for 12.1
by Chuck Payne 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Guys, I am not sure how many of you have seen this...it's Red Hat Turth happens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjSDAUykkz I like to see us come up with a campaing like this, Think about this. Linux is 20 years old. Linux is becoming more and more main stream. I think that if we can come up with a nice video to reflect openSUSE 12.1 is stable, it for the masses, and that has the feel fo Turth Happens. I think it would be an awesome video to share. -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] LinuxDay in Österreich - Opensuse als Aussteller
by xela＠lugv.at 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, oder vielleicht besser: liebes Opensuse Team, wir, die Linux User Group Vorarlberg, veranstalten am 26. November den nunmehr 13. LinuxDay in Dornbirn, Österreich. Mehr zur Veranstaltung gibt es auf http://www.linuxday.at/ Da wir darauf Wert legen, möglichst viele der großen Distributionen an Informationsständen zu präsentieren, würden wir uns natürlich auch Opensuse als Aussteller wünschen. Leider haben wir keinen direkten Kontakt zu Projektmitgliedern, aber andererseits ist Nürnberg keine Weltreise von Vorarlberg entfernt. Mit etwas Glück erklärt sich jemand bereit, nach Dornbirn zu kommen. Für eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit können wir sorgen (Hotel). Wir verlangen übrigens keine Standgebühren, selbstverständlich würden wir uns aber über etwas Sponsoring freuen. mfg, Alexandra Klepatsch --- www.lugv.at -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Bryen M. Yunashko 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hey folks, One of the articles scheduled for post-Beta is an article about what people are saying about openSUSE 12.1 Beta. To do this right, I'd like to enlist you all to do one of the following: 1: Send links to any articles reviewing Beta 2. Go out and ask people you know who are trying Beta what they think of it and get quotes from them. This will really help! Thanks folks!

[opensuse-marketing] SCALE and NELF
by Chuck Payne 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Guys, I need to know what we will be doing for both. I heard that some people might have already started planning stuff for SCALE. Since they reached out to me, I like to go again, but I before I step into anything I like to know what has been talked about. Also, I have been reached out by North East Linux Fest for Apirl 7th. They want us there. There going to be a lot of school going to like MIT, Havard, and others in that area. Also, I am now on the board for the South East Linux Fest board as their community manager, I am going to be putting together a list of user group here in the US, I wanted to ask, what ever happen to the list we were working to send stuff too? I would like to add the groups to it. I like to do press kits for 12.1 to these groups, I am thinking that would be a great way for more people to use us. I will need someone there to help me, it going to be in Atlanta maybe will tell more later. Pup, Still a live kicking and meaner than hell. -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] The awesome Flyer v4
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi all, The awesome brochure sources have finally been recovered. You can find them here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.eps There is a number of changes we need to do, all summarized in the document with the updated text: * Text needs review * Need to turn the Brochure in a 3-panel trifold on A4 * Remove 'links' pane on front * Replace front text with shorter text (see below) * Re-arrange back to fit A4 and use improved text (see below) * Get rid of the SUSE and Novell logos, this is an openSUSE Brochure * We need to make this Creative Commons, except for the logo's. * The openSUSE Logo on the front page is some self made logo with strange color in the text, needs to be fixed. * There is only one small Geeko on the whole brochure. We need more :D * A bit less SUSE Studio, a bit more other openSUSE projects. Nice to have: * We can use the upcoming 12.1 artwork on the front * turn it into a SVG so it can be translated more easily! See the above todo and text here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.odt Anyone who is willing or able - let us know what changes you can make, make them, get the result to me and I'll put the updated version back on the dropbox. As soon as we have a decent version we can start translating & printing. A large change I made which I need feedback on is that I removed the app installer text to be replaced with openQA. See the document for the cool and cool++ points. Otherwise, who can update/fix our brochure? Thanks, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] 12.1 Release Date Decision
by Bryen M. Yunashko 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Coolo has asked in several places whether we should change the release date of openSUSE 12.1 to November 16 due to the recent shift in the release of our Beta. I personally think this is a good idea. Specific reason for this is because the original roadmap release date was to release on a Friday, November 11. This really isn't a good idea and I would recommend we release on a Wednesday to allow for news media to remark about thhis release, thus getting people curious in time for the weekend to download and install on their machines. Do we have any thoughts other than above for release date? The time is very short for us to recommend a different date or concur with Coolo's suggestion for November 16. So let's comment now here in this thread and by end of tomorrow I will forward the thoughts to coolo.
