[opensuse-marketing] Desura gaming platform to go opensource with GPL
by Roger Luedecke 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

www.desura.com They are considering going open source with their client, and it looks extremely likely they will. This could be an opportunity to push OBS and if we act fast we could take advantage of being the first distro to offer it in a repo in RPM format. Maybe some useful code too. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE @ FOSDEM
by Richard Brown 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Apologies for the cross posting, but I want to be sure to get as many interested parties involved possible I'm volunteering to co-ordinate an openSUSE stand at FOSDEM this February I have to confess to being a FOSDEM beginner, but I know enough that I'm getting myself involved in a big thing, and I'm going to need help. Even if you're not coming this year, I especially welcome advice and guidance from FOSDEM veterans. What worked in previous years? what do I need to know? what do I need to avoid? To have a stand, we need to have our proposal in by 12th December. For both days, FOSDEM can provide either one or two 1m80 x 80cm tables, with 2 chairs per table. We'll need at least 2 people to man the stand, though the more the merrier, and the less time we'll each have to spend working the stand. As it's a big event my plan is to ask for 2 tables, but I need to have an idea of how many of you will be willing to help make our presence at FOSDEM felt So if you're coming to FOSDEM, and would like to help out, please either reply to me directly or ideally to the opensuse-marketing mailing list If any of you who work in NUE are coming to FOSDEM, please let me know, we might need your help to ferry goodies and stuff from SUSE offices to save on shipping. Many Thanks Richard Brown openSUSE Ambassador Richard Brown Systems Engineering Team Leader City College Brighton and Hove -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

I've no opinion on this this post (also copied to marketting) only to say that if the final decision is made to do this shift, and for any such decision we should have some way to note it for future use in release notes - wiki page or similar. thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
