===== *Semi-long e-mail* ===== Hello everyone! I mailed with Karl for using suse-art.org for this project too, and he gave me a "ok" and he will do, whatever he can do :) I think, now, it´s up to us to promote the whole thing and receive a lot of desktops. ===== *Additional information* ===== *What can you do now?* * You can blog about it! (Like me, have a look at http://www.kimleyendecker.blogspot.com) * You can mail some people who might be interested in sharing their desktops * You can make noise about it on Twitter, Facebook, Identi.ca and other social networks you know. *What will I do now?* * I will send an e-mail to the ambassador list with a few information and will link to this mail, so that we can use this thread for organize the project, and the thread @ambassadors for ambassador-related things * I will continue blogging about it on my blog * I will create and compile an article on news.o.o * I will create a wiki page as soon as possible and spread information there! *What about the media for distribute*? The latest information is, that we want to use *flickr* and *facebook* for hosting (flickr) and counting the likes (facebook). *What´s the goal of it?* Well, it´s just a part of my plan for world domination ;-) No, seriously, we want to see, how individual our users create their desktops and spread the message out, that openSUSE 11.4 supports each individual kind of use case. *How can I contribute to it?* Just make noise about it, discuss in this thread, and for any other things, mail me (or Jos, but he´s got still 500+ mails to read, so please mail me, I will forward it, when it´s relevant for him.) ========================================== thanks -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker(a)hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador / openSUSE Wiki Team DE http://www.opensuse.org Have you tried SUSE Studio?

[opensuse-marketing] Release specific marketing material
by Koushik Kumar Nundy 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hello everyone, I was wondering if you had any marketing material specifically targeting the release, say posters saying "openSUSE 11.4 arriving, March 10" or something even more general, like openSUSE 11.4 artwork, that could be used to signal the onset. I would really appreciate a link. Also I'll take this chance to ask again if anyone has a link to the 11.4 promoDVD or normal DVD label. I seriously need to get some printed asap. Thanks, ~kknundy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] money
by Jos Poortvliet 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hi all, Despite not reading all mails here, I have a request. The USA office in Provo is out of posters & flyers and that kind of stuff. Now we still have them in the EU, but shipping paper across the pond is quite insane. Yet having these materials is important: we ship them to our ambassadors, together with the DVD's so they can have a good presence at conferences! So I found some money in my budget - enough for a nice number of posters, flyers, postcards & whatever you think will be helpful. But I don't have time to scavenge our git repository and wiki for appropriate material. Moreover, much of it is outdated. So. If you want to help our ambassadors, now is the time to step up. I simply need a list of artwork to print: - a (link to) a BIG poster design or two to print, appropriate for a wide audience at conferences. Can be an existing poster, can be a new one - I don't care. - one or more (links to) smaller posters. I think the "suse is cool" series made for SCALE would be good enough for this, maybe some improvements are possible or needed?!? - (links to) folders. We have one but it ain't that good. I would suggest to finish the folders on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_materials - ping me on IRC, I want to help with them! They will need design (Carlos, Javier, Bruno, Helen?). Need to be an a4 or Letter (preferably both) with 2-side printing. You could make a triple-fold or double-fold, I don't care :D - (links to) postcards, sticker designs, button designs, other things. - and whatever you think should be in the boxes. I know several of you have been thinking about that, so now is the time to step up and make sure I can add those things to the boxes! I will then see how much I can afford for each of those. A hard requirement: it has all to be online with sources somewhere!!! And I will probably have to ask the artists who made the final design to work with the AJ & me and the printing company as most printing companies don't have Scribus or Inkscape :D And a second hard requirement: I mailed earlier that I have a hard time keeping up with the list. So I need someone to mail me the things I ask for around april 8-9 ;-) So, who steps up to relay me the results? Bryen, seems like your thing? Cheers and thanks, Jos

I am a student at State College of Florida and an openSuse advocate. Would it be possible to get 30 @ 11.4 DVD's for my computer science teacher to distribute to his classes? Any stickers, pens or other swag would be appreciated and dispersed as well.

[opensuse-marketing] ambassador program
by Jos Poortvliet 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hey marketing team, Based on our IRC discussion yesterday a more extensive proposal, connected to the mail I just send to the boosters with you in CC: Our ambassadors are often local (many don't even speak English, or barely); so what we do with/for them has to be translatable, easy to read or in their hands. They often spend not a huge amount of time on openSUSE; so what we do for/with them should not take much time. And the fact they are ambassador gives them some credibility; so we should make that clear. Currently, we have an ambassador mailinglist. Some ambassadors are on there; many are not (like most of the active people in Brazil or Greece - despite those countries being among the most active for us, as far as we know). They usually have a local mailinglist (not on openSUSE infrastructure) which they use for planning and discussing. First, I would like to propose to bring such mailinglists to openSUSE infrastructure. That means - let ambassadors ask for a language/region specific mailinglist. Not too many rules, if they feel they need one for something, give it. But there should be one limitation: at least one or two active people on that list should be on the international ambassador mailinglist; and we need a one-way, moderated mailinglist to reach ALL ambassador lists at once for things that concern everybody. Second, let them create a localized ambassador team page on the wiki (or on connect.opensuse.org, dunno what makes most sense). Actually, it'd be great if they had an English page which is translated - so each team (the Greek team, Brazil team etc) has a page on the wiki; and it is translated in their language(s). They can have links there to the mailinglist and the forum place they hang out, as well as their IRC channel(s). This will allow countries/regions to build their own team. Yet, due to the requirement of having 1-2 ppl on the international list, we are connected. Now we need to make sure there is communication as much as possible. The ambassadors should get the word out on what they do - that's what the ambassador report stuff is for, which I mailed to the Boosters team. I hope we can make that happen. Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] SUSE Studio
by Jos Poortvliet 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Dear friends, We have an interesting opportunity before us to communicate to people who might not be fans of or very much aware of openSUSE. Novell is setting up a mailinglist system for SUSE Studio. Users of Studio are categorized in ISV, individual user, corporate user and open source project. Now the second and last categories we could spam once a month or so with something like a newsletter talking about openSUSE. Just an idea of course, we could also send them daily viagra mail but I bet they'll block SUSE Studio mail if we do that :D Now we can discuss the usual riff-raff of ideas. I can think of a few myself - as usual, ideas are cheap. It's the work that counts. So let me introduce, just for this discussion, an interesting rule: if you add an idea, that means you are willing to do it. For example, if person X will say "we could do a monthly newsletter" that means that person X is willing and committed to do it. Or doesn't share the idea. NOW let's see how many ideas there are ;-) Cheers, Jos (in an experimental mood, combined with a cold, headache, backpains and way to much work on his plate to be able to sit back and relax or sleep, meh meh meh)
