[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.

by Rob Snelders 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi All, I'm not sure if this belongs to this list or the ambassadors-list. If it is in the wrong list please tell me. The 5th and 6th November is the 6th edition of T-Dose. This is a free Open-Source Conference held in the city of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. On this conference we are trying to hold a open-source "software-market". We would like to ask if you are interested in a stand at the market to promote and discuss about Open Source. -- Greetings, Rob Snelders Stichting T-Dose -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Here's another "draft" to chew on. This one I tried to focus on what I would want to put up, that would entice other people to check out openSUSE. And again, the package list is a large component, rendered in the QR (and yes its perfectly legible at print-quality). http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97434921 I leave it up to the community to decide which way this ends up.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Magazine
by differentreality 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

Hi all! One of the ideas that popped up during the marketing hackfest here today was that of making an openSUSE magazine with focus on the conference proceedings and the cool stuff that happened since the last conference. The magazine would contain articles on the main highlights of the past year (Year is the time period between two conferences), interviews with key people, reviews and articles about the current conference etc. We would like to get a feedback on the idea and a few key topics that you think should be covered. Any authors who want to help with articles, please say so on the mailing list as we need more people to work on the articles. The topics, however, should focus on either key events that took place since last conference (like tumbleweed, evergreen, connect etc) or should be an article about oSC11 (or any particular session of it). We would also like a few miscellaneous topics that relates to openSUSE and linux at large. I hope all of you would like the idea and would contribute to our efforts to make openSUSE even more famous and awesome. Please let us know your thoughts (& your willingness to help). For additional info you can reply to the mailing list or send an email to differentreality(a)gmail.com ( plz use as subject: openSUSE magazine ) Regards, N.B.Prashanth - nbprash.mit(a)gmail.com Stella Rouzi - differentreality(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
