[opensuse-marketing] Making some adjustments...

Dear Team, In early 2010, I was elected by fellow marketing team members to lead the marketing team. I've been grateful for the support and have thoroughly enjoyed everyone's participation in the team as we moved forward. And on a personal level, I've had the real pleasure to meet so many of you in person across the globe. You are all so amazingly energized and hard-working. Times have moved forward since those early days. This is truly an empowered marketing team and so many of you have a clearer definition of what your roles are when it comes to supporting and marketing the openSUSE Project. For me, the evolution is stunning. But that's not to say we don't have more work to do. Of course, there's still more opportunities to build stronger campaigns, effective organization and highly visible awareness of the Project to the world. But these are ongoing things that will always have "opportunities for improvement." I've loved working with so many of you. But at the same time, I have expended many hours of my life on this and I need to start taking care of myself and addressing my own needs as well. I am also beginning a job search. I took two years off from work to give openSUSE my full-time attention and now I need to give Bryen my full time attention. Therefore, with the launch of 12.1, I will step down from my role as Marketing Team lead. But this doesn't mean that I'll be gone! :-) Far from it, I'll still be around and helping out and supporting the openSUSE Project in any way that I can. So let's keep that openSUSE Fire burning and thank you all for giving me such a rewarding experience.

[opensuse-marketing] FW: OpenSUSE promotional DVDs
by Lodge, Kenneth 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

openSUSE marketing, Dear Sir/Madam, I have had no response to the following e-mail sent about 3 weeks ago. I understand that this could be due to activities connected with the imminent release of 12.1, but I thought I should try a different approach in case it has fallen between the stools of department reorganisation. The e-mail below was directed to the enquiry address indicated on your web-site http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassador_kit. I would be grateful if you could respond to the questions below, or arrange for a response. I need to ensure now that arrangements are in place for DVDs to be delivered before 2012, for use in 2012. I am pleased to say that, over the years, I have experienced excellent service from openSUSE through people such as Martin Lasarsch and Michael Loeffler.

Could I ask you to do the same again for 2012? I have not been able to find on your website a clear specification of what is (will be) on the openSUSE 12.1 PromoDVD. Could you confirm that it will contain the full openSUSE installation, in a double-sided format including 32-bit and 64-bit versions? That is, similar to the openSUSE 11.3 DVDs that we used earlier this year. We would require about 180 DVDs.

Marcus derserves most of the credit for the design but the entire artwork team contributed with feedback, tweaks, derivatives etc And things like the colour was only chosen after feedback from the whole community. A nice typical openSUSE collaboration effort. So you might like to thank the whole team in addition to Marcus R Richard Brown Systems Engineering Team Leader City College Brighton and Hove >>> Andi Sugandi <andisugandi(a)gmail.com> 11/05/11 04:05 AM >>> Hi all, Who did actually make this wonderful official openSUSE 12.1 wallpaper[0]?

[opensuse-marketing] commercial offerings on openSUSE wiki
by Andreas Jaeger 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

As part of the preparation for the openSUSE 12.1 launch, I've reworked the Buy_openSUSE page according to the guidelines from a recent project meeting: "We put on /Buy_openSUSE all box-like (commercial packaged) products that have asked for trademark approval and are unmodified versions of the openSUSE release" I've updated the English page for 12.1 now and created a new page for commercial offerings as discussed in the meeting. Stuart, you're welcome to add information about Balsam Professional on the Commercial offerings page. If there are no significant changes, I'll tell the German team to translate this in a smiliar way...

Bad news is that the tool itself isn't as open as Gitorious, but, well... meh (for me). For my part, I subscribe to the repos with Sparkleshare anyway, so its all local to me.

[opensuse-marketing] moving!!!
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Nov '11

Heya all, We have all een complaining at times about our two repositories on gitorious. First of all because they overlap - the one (openSUSE/art) has both distro artwork and marketing things, the other (opensuse- artwork) has only marketing things. The second complaint is that gitorious isn't easy to work with. For the first problem: I have moved the stuff from openSUSE/art to gitorious where it seemed to make sense to me. I did however not ask if you all were OK with that so I do that now - better to ask for forgiveness and revert a commit than to ask for permission :D If you are unhappy with the changes, let me know please! If you don't have access to opensuse-artwork, let me know too :D Second, gitorious is not perfect for us. The biggest issue, at least for the upcoming 12.1 release, is that you can not download files from there. At least, not if they are bigger than 1 MB or so. That is a big problem. Now we haven't decided on a good successor yet but for the time being I am going to clone our repo into Github. There you can, ON THE WEBSITE, see differences between files, and you can download big files. That solves at least the biggest issues... We can then, later on, decide on a better solution. Let me know what you think about moving to Github. Yes, it's not perfect, but other parts of openSUSE are also moving there and we could quite easily migrate what we have now to github and have something at least a bit better while we look for a perfect solution for us :D Cheers, Jos
