[opensuse-marketing] The official kickoff of the openSUSE Travel Support Program
by Izabel Valverde 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Dear openSUSE, We're proud to announce the official kickoff of the openSUSE Travel Support Program. This program will provide openSUSE contributors with some financial support for traveling to conferences and events where they represent openSUSE. It's a quarterly budget which can support a good number of people. The funds are limited so we'll make the best to support as many people as possible. It's reimbursement mode. We'll reimburse after approved only hotel or travel or both up to 80% and up to the amount approved. All about the program can be find here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program We look forward to doing this! If you have any questions, you can bring it up at the next openSUSE Project meeting (Feb Wednesday 22) or email us directly. Best Regards, Izabel Valverde On behalf of openSUSE Travel Support Program -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] FOSDEM writeup!
by Jos Poortvliet 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hey all fosdem-goers! I dunno about you, but I had a lot of fun at FOSDEM... But before catching up to sleep I think we should let the world know what happened! I did a little write-up and now need some review, additions and pictures from ya'll. Anyone who has good pictures for news.o.o please mail me. IF you point me to an online picture, make sure I can use it (license-wise) please! Article draft: https://pad.riseup.net/p/fosdem (*yes* yes another etherpad lite thing. Hope this one is more stable but I bet it's not) Thanks, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE at LinuxTag
by Jos Poortvliet 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Heya all, I've updated the wiki page about LinuxTag: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:LinuxTag I have been volunteered to organize it. I can't promise to do as great a job as Henne did last year but I'll try ;-) I'm going to ask for a booth. I think it's best to use the same hotel as least year - Motel One Berlin Tiergarten was fine... You can have a room for about 59 single and 79 double. And you'll have to book yourself... If you guys/girls think it's worth trying I could give them a call, see if we can get a bit of a discount?!? Henne, did you manage that last year? Anything else we'll need? The CfP is closed by now, we'll have to make sure we make a nice splash at the booth this year :D If anyone has any fun ideas, I'd love to hear it. I'll see if we can sell beer and t-shirts :D /Jos

by Alexjan Carraturo 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I have created a short video that show installation of openSUSE 12.1. The video (in Italian language) was made to show how is simple to do the setup of openSUSE on a PC that have already another SO installed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs5RPHZAtdU I know that is not too much, but I'd like to have feedbacks to improve this type of work.

GNOME was my > first path to get in here ;-) Excellent points raised Izabel. Maybe I was not clear enough. I love accessibility being promoted and "WE" should do it, in fact I would love openSUSE working with accessibility and we definitely should collaborate. What I am trying to raise here is we are missing here a few questions that we should ask like 1. Do they plan/want to collaborate with us and if so how? 2. If current openSUSE users want to provide their feedback on accessibility, then how should we do it? 3. If current openSUSE devs or new contributors would like to work on accessibility options who are the best persons in the openSUSE community as well as outside the openSUSE community to contact? What I am trying to raise here since we want collaboration, let us mention openSUSE along with gnome.. Otherwise it sounds kinda out of the place. Collaboration is done on a lot of levels and as marketing we should make sure it is evident to the public :) I suggest contacting the interviewee again if he can answer such questions. > > Izabel > > -- 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
