[opensuse-marketing] Feedback on openSUSE 12.1 promo DVD cover
by Tim Serong 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hi All, A bit of feedback from my wife upon her seeing the openSUSE 12.1 promo DVDs. While definitely nicely done, the front says only "FREE Software / openSUSE 12.1", but provides no other indication of exactly what openSUSE is. Perhaps for 12.2 we could move one of the descriptive paragraphs from the back of the cover to the front. Possibly this one: This DVD includes everything you need to get your desktop, laptop or server up and runing with Linux. You can also take 12.1 for a test drive before you install it. Just boot your computer from this DVD. The idea being to add a little descriptive text to the front, just enough to provide a bit more information/enticement to turn the package over and read more :) but not so much that it's overwhelming.

by Jos Poortvliet 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Heya all, See below an invite for an openSUSE talk at Akademy-es! the CfP is wrong (they are fixing it) The event is from May, Friday 19 to Sunday 20th. Anyone able/willing to go? Email abenito at the KDE.org servers or talk to me! Cheers, Jos ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: openSUSE in Akademy-es Date: Wednesday 21 March 2012, 17:50:04 From: Agustin Benito (toscalix) <abenito@xxxxxxx> To: Jos Poortvliet (you know) CC: Other people Hi Jos, it would be great to have somebody from openSUSE giving a talk in [1]Akademy-es on May 20th in Saragossa. Its municipality uses openSUSE + GNOME so the person you send can also open a channel with them. It is the most advance migration project in small public administrations in spain (municipalities). On May 18th we will have some talks for wide audience. Since openSUSE does a great job with KDE, maybe talking about the news related with the destop and other services could be a good one. [2]Call for papers is open until April 23th. We expect about 80 people there.

[opensuse-marketing] GSOC poster for conferences etc
by Jos Poortvliet 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Heya all, You might have read that GSOC 2012 is going to happen again: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/02/29/opensuse-gsoc-2012/ We need to tell students that they need to be HERE, with US! So we need a nice GSOC poster. Now google has made artwork for GSOC 2012: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Z4BTG1iJDs/TyG9uyApFrI/AAAAAAAAAhY/raFJlaZqdes/s… I slapped a geeko on it but that's of course not good enough :D So, who can design some poster which can be used at conferences and universities to get students into GSOC 2012? I was thinking about taking google's image on the bottom of a poster, adding the blue on top and having some text there, see my crazy drawing here: http://susepaste.org/13964893 Something like that... I've uploaded it to github just so you have something as a starter :D BTW we still need a text for on this poster, too: http://susepaste.org/71297168 ideas? Love, Jos
