[opensuse-marketing] Software Freedom Day
by Richard Brown 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Hi All, First mail to the list! You probably know me as Ilmehtar on IRC - last meeting I volunteered to put some stuff together for Software Freedom Day. I've been snowed under with work, so haven't managed to do as much as I wanted but got started and the fruits of my labour can be found on the wiki here: http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Freedom_Day I'm putting the finishing touches (including SFD special branding) on my SUSE studio imaging appliance which I hope to have published in the next hour or two - I'll be correcting the link on the article as soon as I have the gallery location Any comments/suggestions/additions and help welcome!

[opensuse-marketing] Marketing Hackfest Proposed Tasks
by Bryen M. Yunashko 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

The time is growing near for our second-ever Marketing Hackfest on 15-16 September 2011 immediately following the openSUSE Conference. As a reminder to everyone, you do not have to be in Nuremberg in order to participate as we can do both in-person an and online. I have added two new sections to our hackfest page at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:12.1_Marketing_Hackfest 1. Suggested Topics There is a list of suggested topics and tasks to focus on during the hackfest. This is not a complete absolute list but merely suggestions and we will all agree on the day of Hackfest which items to focus on. Please feel free to add more topics or adjust existing topics. I will be adding links to some resources over the next couple of days. 2.. Results In order to keep track of what we have accomplished, we have a results section now. If you have completed a task or needs continued work after the hackfest please make note in the Results section. Also, I want to mention that if any of you feel ambitious and want to get started (or even complete a task) now, feel free to do so! The more we complete before the hackfest, the more other topics we can address. :-) Again, looking forward to seeing you all at the hackfest and online. Thanks to everyone for participating!
