[opensuse-marketing] poster project again
by Jos Poortvliet 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi all!!! I've gotten the budget together to do the awesome poster/calendar project we did last year again. You know, the one with the calendar of FOSS events on one side and the Beer poster on the other side. For this year, we're gonna do it even bigger, in the international Linux Magazine and the USA Linux Pro Magazine! So we should of course have new artwork :D Final artwork is required on the first of Oct, just 4 weeks from now. All the rest would be pretty much the same as last year. we deliver the graphics for the front side, they design the calendar on the back. Specs for pir artwork are: Size: 400 mm * 574 mm, plus 3mm additional bleed on each side, Hi-res PDF, 4-colour, CMYK. Now we can get that two ways. First, I can get the SUSE marketing people to design something for us. Either Robert, if he has time, or someone in the corporate marketing. The other option is of course all of YOU. But we're all very busy with the openSUSE conference and the openSUSE 12.1 artwork. And if we make this, it has to be REALLY GOOD. Because there is the calendar on one side, we have to have a really cool poster to make people hang up the openSUSE side! The question thus is: can we come up with something good in 3-4 weeks, or should I start asking inside SUSE? Think about it carefully: of course you all CAN come up with something cool, BUT do we have time between working on the openSUSE conf and openSUSE 12.1 and all other things like the flyer etc? If we rush it, it might not be good - and then everyone will hang up the calendar side :( Let me know your thoughts. Jos

[opensuse-marketing] press status for the conference
by Jos Poortvliet 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi all, I'd like to try and give a little overview of the status of promo/press matters for the conference. Latest stuff: A 'press alert' should go out today in Germany (or should've gone out yesterday). I'm trying to get an international alert out as well. We've been writing a fair bit on news.opensuse.org which reaches the majority of our own community and we have ads on LWN.net and the magazines of our other two media partners. Otherwise, it depends on what the press picks up... Of course, blogs and writing articles for other sites is still very much welcome!!! > What kind of press kit do we have? One which is almost done ;-) The contents: - Welcome to oSC & SUSE Labs and introducing "RWX" - Some history, facts & figures on oSC & SUSE Labs - Goals and expectations of oSC & SUSE Labs 2011 - about openSUSE - about SUSE (being reviewed now, if you'd like to look at it, just let me know in a private mail) > Which press contacts are activated? Vera has invited 5 journalists and we get 3 journalists who are media partners. On Tuesday we have a 1 hour round table in the nuremberg office with SUSE management, we'll have a dinner with them (most likely Tuesday night) and they of course get the press kit. Otherwise we'll just let them loose on you all... :D > Wjhat are your plans for the last days before the conference strats? We have a few more articles coming, including the announcement of the 'drone contest' where we give away a AR Drone to a lucky attendee. This one is still being finished, sorry, complicated... What can you do to help? - TALK TO PEOPLE. A lot of people still don't know about oSC, unfortunately! Invite them on IRC or wherever you see them. Personally, that works best! - Blog and do whatever you can to get the word out. We're at a little over 200 registrants right now - which is a bit better than last year but still very much short of the 500 people we were hoping for! HELP! Tweet, dent... Try to submit articles to websites... Cheers, Jos

I'm trying to collect 100 signatures, and I could really use your help. To read more about what I'm trying to do and to sign my petition, click here: http://www.change.org/petitions/hewlett-packard-company-release-the-hp- webos-as-gpl-open-source-code?share_id=vPaJMvrZTb&pe=pce It'll just take a minute! Once you're done, please ask your friends to sign the petition as well. Grassroots movements succeed because people like you are willing to spread the word! Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambasador P.S.

[opensuse-marketing] opinions
by Jos Poortvliet 01 Sep '11

Heya all, I wrote a tutorial on getting Linux 3.0 on openSUSE as well as on how to upgrade to Tumbleweed. Its not a great fit for news.opensuse.org so I wonder - what website should I submit it too, in your opinion? Cheers, Jos
