[opensuse-marketing] having fun... ???
by Jos Poortvliet 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Heya all, I'm looking for a fun slogan or picture - something that makes people laugh. Like a t-shirt saying "ROCK IS DEAD (and paper killed it)" or one of the better xkcd comics ;-) Something for a sticker, poster or a t-shirt... Any ideas? /jos

[opensuse-marketing] Dream openSUSE Initiative
by andi robert 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hello my dear friends The artwork team recently had a meeting in which a couple of ideas were proposed. One of them is the Dream openSUSE Initiative. The idea behind this proposal is to have a wider understanding of what a desktop environment is for each of our users. All of us work with openSUSE and many time we tweak and change our graphical environments to fit our particular needs, we would like to know about these changes that you have made to your graphical environment under openSUSE to better determine what defaults work for our users. We are currently gathering these screenshots here http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Dreamopensuse The steps to be part of this investigative initiative are as follow Set up your computer desktop they way you want it Take a screeshot Submit your screenshot at our wiki Note: If your changes, settings or tweaks are not readily visible, show us a screenshot of your settings managers or explain the settings changes that you have made. This initiative is not about artwork as much as it is about usability among our members. Therefore, when submitting screenshots, make sure that your special usability settings are also noticeable. Note: The wiki page is not perfect, of you feel inclined to make changes to it, please do so. :D Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Tee shirts for openSUSE
by Manu Gupta 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hi All, Have a look at this tee shirt design http://www.24hoursloot.com/product/cc9bd180d7b570747ee5c052fa7007df Either we can have such a design or order a few quantities with openSUSE as its handle, would definitely look cool Cost of 1 tee shirt is around 9 USD. However if we make our own, maybe prices can go down. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

FYI: ...and if you have a look at http://sourceforge.net/, you'll find openSUSE-Education listed there *hooray*! We are very happy that we have been selected. One question: is there someone who can write something about it "somewhere"?

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE night in Milan: What type of event?
by Alexjan Carraturo 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi to all After the success of the fair in Cerea, we are invited to organize a "openSUSE Night" in Milan. The idea would be to present, in a famous "lug" of Milan, openSUSE. We're planning to make the first presentation of openSUSE, with one or two talks, then a Q&A space, and finally do "installation party". Looking at the list of the types of events, I saw that this looks like a "Launch Party", but, we are organizing that event for Feb. 25, maybe a little late for a Launch Party. What type of event I could use? Tips? Since the event in my city, and being a guest of this "lug", I would not need any kind of budget, but could really help me Marketing material (Few promo DVDs, t-shirts, stickers, posters and the like). Can I request the material here (http://software.opensuse.org/promodvd) as usual?
