[opensuse-marketing] Question from Microsoft geeks on my FB page
by Jimmy Pierre 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

>>>Does Hyper V support openSUSE 11.4 natively? What would you answer? I run openSUSE on Virtual box, VMware, Xen, really not 100% sure. However, SLED/SLES are supported natively! Tricky hey?

[opensuse-marketing] Meetings
by Sascha Manns 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello Mates, some questions reaches the Weekly News Team about missing Informations about Meetings. In the past we had introduced that a Meetings comes and after that we published the Link to the last Transcript. Sadly is looks like not every Meeting is added to the calendar, so that means that each possible attendee must search when the next Meeting will be held. And as example some Pages like: * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_meeting * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_meeting * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_meeting needs an update. So i want to motivate all Meeting holders to add their Meetings to the Calendar and after that adding the Link to the transcript to the Meetings Page. Just my 2 cents ;-) cu Sascha -- Sincerely Yours Sascha Manns open-slx Community & Support Agent openSUSE Membership Comitee openSUSE Marketing Team Web: http://saigkill.homelinux.net German Community Portal: http://community.open-slx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Delayed Launch
by stuart＠bolin.org.uk 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I had planned a launch party for the moment of launch at 12pm gmt only to be told at 11:45 the launch was delayed by 2 hours. As it happens nobody responded to my invitations anyway but even so its frustrating. There was no announcement in any of the lists I take only irc about the 2 hour delay.

[opensuse-marketing] Clarifying our statement on LibreOffice
by Bryen M. Yunashko 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

As we get closer and closer to 11.4 release, we proudly boast that openSUSE will be the first to ship with LibreOffice. Unfortunately, there is already some dispute to that, as some have pointed out that Pardus Corporate version ships with the stable version of LibreOffice. Congratulations to Pardus (and possibly others) that are shipping it. We must modify our message going forth or we'll lose credibility. Discussing with some others quickly on line, we have the following two statements that you can choose to use: A) openSUSE 11.4 is the first major distribution to ship LibreOffice B) openSUSE is among the first shipping LibreOffice. Both are good, safe statements that retain truth. Thanks!

Bryen, If you have issues, let me know. Natch, I'm familiar with various local resources. If you're driving, I'm working at the Newbreak Cafe coffee shop now.

Hi all, Thx Jos. I just ran through the slides and notes and it looks like a good alternative to your SCALE presentation... so I'm now evaluating which direction I might want to go.. Distro-centric like this presentation or touching more on the other openSUSE projects like in your SCALE presentation. Some recommendations and some modifications I'm making to my copy... - I usually prefer to "bullet" my notes, stating topics in 5 words or less at a time. That enables me to glance at the topic, then speak to the audience. Anything longer makes me pause to read, then digest in my mind before speaking which hurts my audience eye contact. - Just my style which isn't necessarily recommended to others, but I usually embed major bullet points on the slide instead of hiding in notes. That enables the audience to visually absorb the information both previewing and reviewing the points as I speak. I rarely fill the whole screen with a screenshot, and if I do then the target content in the screenshot is <very large> unless the overall look is the important point. Note that when placing text content on the screen it's still critical to talk to the audience and not to the screen which is likely behind you. I don't think there should be a problem posting to your Google Docs, then sharing the "Place" with others.The only practical restriction is a 100mb total repository size. In fact, take a look at what I've done enabling presentations to be seen from a free Google website displaying content stored in Google Docs. You can configure permissions for Public (no restrictions to view) Private (only people with specified Google accounts can view) Link only (not publicly searchable, anyone who has a link (eg from email) can view) All the presentations on my site are longer than yours. Note that besides viewing online, there is a download link on each presentation as well http://sites.google.com/site/4techsecrets/slide-presentations Good stuff Jos, Tony On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 6:19 AM, Jos Poortvliet <JPoortvliet(a)novell.com> wrote: > > Dear friends, > > I realize this is very late in the game, however I hope it is still > useful.
