[opensuse-marketing] Spread the Summit Word!
by Bryen M Yunashko 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

By now, most of you have heard the openSUSE Summit is officially announced. [1] What's next? Spread the word! :-) 1. We have a Facebook Event page. Please go to this page and a) add yourself, b) invite others to the Event page. The more people we spread the word to, the better awareness out there. 2. We have settled on #ossum12 as our official Summit hashtag for Twitter. Please use this to help promote the Summit. 3. I'm still learning this, but seems Pinterest is the latest rage in social media. I created a bulletin board with some pins at [3]. You can join Pinterest via Twitter or Facebook. Let me know and I'll add you as a contributor to the board. 4. We need people to maintain on Google+ and LinkedIn as well. I don't work on those networks, so someone else needs to volunteer, please. 5. We need Spanish-speaking translators to help spread the word to nearby Spanish-speaking countries as this will be a bi-lingual event. Thanks! Bryen M Yunashko Let's Engage! Collaborate! Invigorate! at openSUSE Summit http://summit.opensuse.org Follow us on Twitter: #ossum12 [1] news.opensuse.org: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/03/29/opensuse-summit-geeko-ing-up-website-up… [2] Facebook Event Page: http://www.facebook.com/events/263835230372972/ [3] Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/bryen/opensuse-summit/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Re: [opensuse-project] Fwd: openSUSE in Akademy-es
by Athanasios-Ilias Rousinopoulos 29 Mar '12

Hello Jos, According to KDE-Akademy "Call for papers" [1] , [2] i have to send an e-mail at akademy-es-org(a)kde-espana.es before 18/04 in which i include a brief summary of the presentation. At 23/04 the accepted presentations will be announced. So i follow the steps ;) Furthermore i will have a look at our repo [3] and Talking Points [4] as well. Combing stuff from artwork, my points of view , talking points and other past presentations would be a good choice i think . Also i hope that the presentation will be accepted and i will order material and stuff from [5]. Thanks , Regards , Athanasios - Ilias Rousinopoulos (aka zoumpis) [1] http://es.kde.org/akademy-es2012/anuncio.php?site_locale=en [2] http://es.kde.org/akademy-es2012/callforpapers.php [3] https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork [4] en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points [5] http://software.opensuse.org/promodvd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Summit hashtag needed
by Bryen M Yunashko 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi folks, Tomorrow, we launch the openSUSE Summit website and we'll have a twitter feed in the website. Problem is, we haven't come up with an acceptable hashtag to use for the Summit. Ideas on a good, short hashtag would be appreciated. Here's some that I have thought of, but frankly, not very workable because either a) it is too long or b) it is too common with other hashtag: #ossummit #ossummit12 #osummit #summit12 #oss12 Thoughts, folks?

Hi Jos! My name is Athanasios-Ilias Rousinopoulos. We met in Fosdem this year. Well i leave and study in Madrid (Master in Free Software). I'll be in Madrid during May and June , so i'm able to attend at this event. Furthermore i took part in LSWC '11 (http://zoumpis.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/lswc11-zaragoza-spain-report-en/) where i saw a presentation about AZLinux and discussed with the people there. Also i'm an openSUSE Ambassador and i speak spanish so i think that i can present the openSUSE Project or smth similar as well. Thanks Regards, Athanasios-Ilias Rousinopoulos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Want to help with something simple yet important?
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Heya all, I've got a task for which I just can't manage to find time. I have wanted to do this forever: get the translated brochure texts from the odt files into the actual brochure svg files. This will require some knowledge of the language used: you'll often have to re-format or rewrite parts to make it fit and not sound weird. Otherwise it is not a terribly complicated thing to do, see the page I wrote on how to do this: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Inkscape Translation Review of that page is of course also very welcome! So see if you have time and can help out a bit here... Thanks, Jos
