Also I'm thinking that from topics that people propose, something will emerge - whatever people are generally most interested in right now and things they are working on, there might be a bit of a trend. Someone mentioned Cloud - yes, it's something we're maybe hearing too much of but it is still in the ascendant so there could be something there. Any artwork ideas we generate in the process can always be repurposed. Loved Robert's concept too. I thought it was more 3D 8-bit than Lego, but there are many possible connections there with 'old fashioned' ways of doing things, three dimensional stuff, construction, simplification (Factory?) -- IRC: helen_au helen.south(a)opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: [opensuse-marketing] PDF posters
by Pieter De Decker 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi Andreas, I already added the posters here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_miscellaneous I could add the slides to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations, but I don't think they're fit for presentations because they've got too much text on them, which takes away a lot of attention from the speaker. I modeled them to be the sort of slides that you might take a look at when you're passing by a booth. That's my opinion - of course you're free to use them how you want. :-) Cheers, Pieter 2011/2/15 Andreas Jaeger <aj(a)novell.com> > > On Friday, February 11, 2011 11:03:10 PM Pieter De Decker wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > > A few weeks ago, I shared drafts of some openSUSE posters I made.

[opensuse-marketing] Fwd: openSUSE at LFNW
by James Mason 26 Apr '11

Apparently we're doing something right :) - James Mason 'bear454' ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carl Symons <carlsymons(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 9:06 AM Subject: openSUSE at LFNW To: James Mason <bear454(a)opensuse.org> Hi James, Thanks for the quick response on IRC. I had just gotten IRC set up on the netbook when you appeared. The information you gave makes the following even more appropriate. Here's what I sent to the Fest Organizers yesterday... " In several volunteer assignment categories, there is a question about which distro to use. The time that students could spend researching distros and debating their merits could be put to better use elsewhere. In a message to his student assistants, Jakob wrote: "I personally like OpenSUSE and Gnome desktop, but it's your call." On Monday, I am going to instruct students to use OpenSUSE/Gnome. (Fred, this doesn't apply to the Tutorium. That's your call.) Rationale: * BTC students are not generally knowledgeable about distros and their relative advantages to Jane Citizen, average user. * OpenSUSE/Gnome is easy to use, solid and visually appealing. (Gak, what about KDE? Try not to think about it B^) * OpenSUSE is a sponsor. * OpenSUSE is an exhibitor. * Several senior level speakers represent OpenSUSE. * James Mason provides local presence, support and advocacy. * The installation media is well-designed and attractive. * OpenSUSE has superb online references. * Installation, updates, package installation are simple, and well supported by the online references. * All of these reflect well on LFNW. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] promo dvd langage
by jdd 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Hello, I just noticed that there is no "HOWTO use it" on the promodvd card box. I'm also guilty as this I so often work in english, I sometime forget than not everybody can do :-(( Many people don't think to use the "F2 language" key at the boot menu. we should find a way to enforce it (warning message? longer boot waiting time?) I think we should think hardly at making as many langages as possible on the demo dvd, in France at least, having it only in english (even is french is called, it's only the keyboard) is not very good jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
