[opensuse-marketing] Why openSUSE?
by Jos Poortvliet 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi all, Besides the "what's cool in openSUSE" I also worked on the arguments on our talking page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points#Why_openSUSE Have a look, add, fix, comment please!!! We should actively point our ambassadors to this and our other resources there! I think it'd be great if, once we are happy with the arguments there, we create some kind of PDF out of it to give to our ambassadors for easy reference at conferences. What'd ya'all think? Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE music theme
by jdd 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hello, I'm seeking for a musical jingle for openSUSE. It's to use with the video presenting openSUSE, specially at the beginning and the end of the clip. The only thing I found that looks like is the music on the "I'm a geeko" clip (used here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyPx7cmhAjg). Is that good? do somebody have an original copy? What is the licence? tube.opensuse.org seems to use CC BY NC SA we have to manage attribution in video clips (in french "faire un générique") thanks jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] PDF posters
by Pieter De Decker 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi guys and gals, I just wanted to drop by to share some A4-sized PDF posters that I've made. They highlight some of the nice things that are part of the openSUSE experience and are targeting experienced computer users. I'm not a graphic designer nor a marketer, but I hope that they're useful. Click the links below to view an online preview of each ad. The preview doesn't seem to support the Bitstream Vera font, so it's not entirely accurate. Hopefully the font renders correctly in your PDF reader. The files are quite large, but I wanted to include high-quality images so that you can zoom in to at least 300% before the images start getting blurry. -- Configure your updater to stick with stable software or update to newer but less tested versions -- This one plays on the fact that openSUSE offers both "conservative" repositories that will keep you stable and "progressive" repositories that keep you up-to-date with the latest releases that may not have been tested thoroughly. http://www.box.net/shared/8qohqvgkbo -- Get help from the active openSUSE community -- Unlike Windows, openSUSE offers a nice official place where people can go and ask questions about problems they're experiencing. (I'm not saying that there aren't any good unofficial Windows forums out there though!) http://www.box.net/shared/ex53eivd8d -- YaST eases the task of configuring your system -- Instead of modifying system configuration files manually, you can use YaST to save a lot of time. http://www.box.net/shared/sn7tnxqq8e I've used background images that are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial 2.0 license.
