by Chuck Payne 14 Mar '11

Guys, This is a last minute thought, that I think will help promote the release on Facebook. With tomorrow release of openSUSE 11.4, I am asking all members on Facebook to change their profile picture for the next two days to the attached image. This is the Geeko that Carlos Ribeiro created. By changing your Facebook profile, no only are you support openSUSE, but you will have market it. For on the image that you can see is the release day. I hope that you will join me in this. -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] OT - Forums Down
by Tony Su 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

The Forums have been down at least an hour (that's when I found out), who knows how much longer it's been down. I personally thought that whatever the problem is, ordinarily it should be resolvable by now. Of course more serious problems can take any amount of time... If anyone on this List knows a specific person to contact regarding this, pls pop that person a message. I've already posted to the #suse IRC channel as soon as I found out but nothing is happening...

[opensuse-marketing] 11.4 GRUB2 inclusion in question
by Tony Su 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Unless someone otherwise for sure, GRUB2 is not a feature in the initial release of 11.4 despite numerous early public comment suggesting that would happen. Initial "look" indicates 11.4 is still using "GRUB Legacy" and a GRUB2 package is available in the OSS Repository. Anywhere and everywhere GRUB2 this is mentioned should be altered or purged. Jos, I put this in the Feature Guide so it needs to be removed for sure there.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE 11.4 Release Party (Greek's Edition)
by Kostas Koudaras 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Yesterday we had the openSUSE 11.4 Release Party. We had every reason to celebrate since we have this great distribution that attracted peoples attention from the first day of it's release.The Party was once again awesome. Many beautiful people gathered to Rock 'n' Roll and celebrate the arrival of openSUSE 11.4. Of course The ambassadors and the other members of the community talked to people about the greatness of the openSUSE Project.We had all kind of freebies for the people to take. We had some serious party equipment like balloons and whistles. Of course we also had 11.3 DVD with instructions stickers for upgrade on. Also we burned a few 11.4 and we had stickers, openSUSE cheat-cubes, openSUSE Calendars and various other openSUSE stuff. We proved once again that openSUSE people most of all have fun because openSUSE is more than a more than a product. For more information go to: http://opensuseambassadors.blogspot.com/2011/03/opensuse-114-release-party-… and for Photos from the Release Party go to: https://picasaweb.google.com/warlordfff/OpenSUSE114ReleaseParty# This is just the beginning, we are planning some more parties and presentations in the near future. We can use some feedback in order to become better, so please do not hesitate to comment if you happen to see anything you might not like.

by Jos Poortvliet 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello dear ambassadors and marketing people!!! The openSUSE 11.4 Product Highlights are done: http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights And so is the portal page: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:11.4 They can be translated! But not promoted yet ;-) You can and SHOULD use the feature guide to create articles, blogs etcetera - you can use any screenshots and whatever text you need. The announcement will tomorrow be send to the opensuse-announce mailinglist and a news.o.o article will go out. Henne and AJ will take care of that, they promised during the board/project meeting today :D So, let's have a rockin' release and kick some ass!!! Be sure to enjoy the launch parties: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_parties_11.4 And if there is none close by you, organize one! you only need a place with beer and coke, then you can invite people on your blog & twitter & create a page on the launch party wiki :D If you need to present openSUSE 11.4 anytime soon, you can find a presentation here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations#openSUSE_11.4 We will work on improving it of course. Cheers, Jos
