Hellou all!!! Here in Greece there two big magazines about Linux and Open Source. One of these is called "Linux Inside" which there are always one or two, two-pages articles about openSUSE written by the Greek Community and especially by Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff) and Stathis Agrapidis (efagra). The other one is called deltahacker and it is newborn! In the second issue of the magazine the editor in chief sent the greek openSUSE community an e-mail telling us that he wanted an one-page poster from the greek community in order to be included in the magazine. We discussed the issue and they aggreed that i had to create the poster :P Here is our work: http://bit.ly/rVL3Ot (by me! :P) -- George Bratsos Etern4L @Freenode http://en.opensuse.org/User:Etern4L http://amb.opensuse.gr http://own.opensuse.gr http://www.linuxteam.cs.teilar.gr http://etern4l.wordpress.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Translation of the release notes in German
by Kim Leyendecker 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

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
