[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

Howdy all, I´m working on a translation of the release notes in German right now and I want to ask if anyone else is doing it too. I´m setting up a wiki page for that and will upload a first version of the release notes there soon. http://www.suse.de/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/12.1/RELEASE-NOTES.de.html still shows the 11.4 release notes[1] so I guess there won´t be any finished translations right now, aren´t they? please let me now if you also translate, --kdl [1] Well, not even that! The "release notes" are a mix of the 11.4 and the 11.3 ones. -- -o) Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Community Member /\\ GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker(a)opensuse.org _\_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

[opensuse-marketing] 12.1 News Results
by Bryen M. Yunashko 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hey folks, Just wanted to quickly update you all in mid-stride. Our release campaign is still going strong, although its a bit quieted down now in the evening. But so far, today has looked great on several fronts. We're seeing a lot of tweets nd retweets on Twitter. Many thanks to Izabel Valverde for stepping in to help with the cotweet today, even while balancing her time for LinuxCon-Brazil. Great job! Roger Luedecke is also giving focus for us on Google Plus. He's going to start peppering updates to our account there with news articles happening around the world. On Facebook, I've been keeping an eye on our Facebook accounts (and believe me there are MANY!) which was surprisingly time-consuming. Throughout the day, I have peppered articles onto the various pages and groups there. And by the way, our Facebook Group.... AWESOME! We've seen an increase of about 300 new members to that group in the last few days. And it seems to keep growing. Many thanks to all who clicked to approve new members. Speaking of articles, we are listing as many articles as we can find into http://en.opensuse.org/In_the_press. Please add more articles (even in different languages!!) to this page. And for all who are doing social media stuff, please mention these articles to your accounts. Believe me, journalists will appreciate that we spread traffic to their articles and will remember it for future articles. I've not been able to monitor Identi.ca or LinkedIn. Has anyone been following/monitoring those and if so, are you adding good stuff to them? Let me know whom you are so I can properly give you our thanks. One more thing I want to mention. We need to keep openSUSE strong in the social networking world for the next few days through to the weekend. Not everyone is reading social networking stuff today and we want to catch the weekend enthusiasts and get them turned on to downloading and cheering for openSUSE. Thanks to all!
