[opensuse-marketing] Presentation on April 18th for IBM personal organization
by Freek de Kruijf 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi, I am asked, via Jos Poortvliet, to give a presentation on April 14th for the personal organization of IBM The Netherlands in Amsterdam. The subject is openSUSE. The length is about one hour. Furthermore I should be available for assisting people in the use of open source on their systems. This could be a good opportunity to promote openSUSE. Jos referred me to this email address to ask for promotion material. I asked the organizing person how many persons would be interested in receiving a promotion DVD. So this information will be send to you asap. Furthermore leaflets or other printed material would be welcome as well. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf t: +31 79 3420754 e: freek(a)opensuse.org a: Beelaertspark 6 2731 AE Benthuizen The Netherlands -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Debriefing from NUI.fr
by Jimmy Pierre 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Dear All, It has been a while since I gave some insight of whats new at NUI.fr The more and more I think at it, I reckon than to make a report of an event every month, it does necessitate opening the report template, but most of us would attempt to complete these reports from work and even from a smartphone while travelling. I therefore propose a form and a box for free writing and here you go! This form can be programmed to be emailed automatically to the mailing list. A login would be preferable in order to avoid spam. Since my last report, we kept the monthly event jmll.fr and we noticed that the madding crowd was getting thinner over the months! The question is why? And analyzing who came, why they came and from where they came, the answer was economics. What has economics got to do with openSUSE, open source et al? Well, the municipality rents a room to NUI.fr on a yearly basis, we do keep most material there, and we only take home our brand new laptops, those that we use daily. These premises are located in *the* commercial center of the city and the metro station is adjacent together with a huge parking (not free). We chose this venue because of the number of visitors of commercial center and the practical meeting place for everybody. Many a time (in the past) we found men coming to our venue while their wives went shopping. There has also been cases where men went shopping and left their wives with us in order to better their IT skills. For the last months, with the ongoing recession, people started to avoid the commercial centre and obviously the events hosted in the municipality premises are getting thinner. Other activities held there are: yoga, dancing, photography, chess, embroidery, crafting and around 40 more. The leaders of these other clubs also complain on the number of their visitors. The figures are fractions of what we used to get. 17-déc 2011 = 8 14 JAN 2012 = 6 18 FEV 2012 = 11 We also have staff from mediawiki on board with us now. It would appear that Windows 7 is a good vintage and that people are *not* looking for a substitute. We have two appointments for the next venue i.e. 17th March next: A woman wants to shrink her Windows partition and increase her Linux partition. Another woman left her computer for an erase and a clean install of openSUSE. We do have loads of places where we do our advertising and marketing, including radio, newspaper, FB, twitter, etc. This does not seem to be seen, viewed and heard by the whole population. We are not aiming at a geeks only venue... Anyway, apart from the usual monthly venues, we are also having the yearly RSSIL in Maubeuge the 2nd and 3rd June and RMLL in Geneva 7th 12th July and Software Freedom Day 15th September. I have changed work and is in another bank, they use SUSE there, I need to lure them to openSUSE... Lets get the ball running and stay positive! Keep up the good job and rest assured of my fullest attention and services at all times. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Merging marketing to -project mailing liste
by Bruno Friedmann 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

To achieve somewhat our effort to consolidate communication, you certainly remember the fact that we want to merge some of mailing lists. I've seen a lot of cross-posting between here and project, and most of our actions need also more people involved. Beside the fact that will avoid cross-posting, and so minimize the number of replicated messages you & I can receive and then need to read/archive/reply/delete and so free some of our precious time. I would propose then that when we need a specific topic for our workgroup we just add [marketing] tag on the subject line. So I open a poll on connect to know what we want to do http://goo.gl/9hcYp Please vote before 1st March Thanks -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] [Fwd: GNOME.Asia 2012 Official Announcement]
by Bryen M Yunashko 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Passing along an FYI for anyone interested. Bryen -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Brian Cameron <brian.cameron(a)oracle.com> To: foundation-list <foundation-list(a)gnome.org>, asia-summit-list <asia-summit-list(a)gnome.org>, developing-world-list(a)gnome.org, gnome-cn-list(a)gnome.org, gugmasters-list <gugmasters-list(a)gnome.org> Subject: GNOME.Asia 2012 Official Announcement Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:38:33 -0600 Hosting GNOME.Asia 2012 June 9-15, 2012 Hong Kong It is with great pleasure that we announce that Hong Kong has been selected as the venue of our upcoming GNOME.Asia 2012. GNOME.Asia 2012 follows the release of GNOME 3.4, helping to bring new desktop paradigms that facilitate user interaction in the computing world. It will be a great place to celebrate and explore the many new features and enhancements to the groundbreaking GNOME 3 release and to help make GNOME as successful as possible. Hong Kong is well known for being one of the largest cities in Asia, with a thriving cultural scene, solid infrastructure, and robust public transportation system. Many countries have a visa-free period for travel with Hong Kong and the city has well integrated international connections. We believe that hosting the event in Hong Kong will bring the spotlight on GNOME and make an impact locally, regionally and internationally in terms of business and community building. Aside from being a business capital, Hong Kong is also well known as a tourist destination that is famous for its food, shopping and many attractions. Potential sites for the conference are the Breakthrough Youth Village Campsite and City University of Hong Kong, and reasonable rates for accommodations have been arranged. We are currently evaluating the best possible dates for the event, and should be able to announce it within the coming week. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the GNOME.Asia 2012 bidding process, especially the great work from Team GNOME Hong Kong and Team GNOME Indonesia. We look forward to working with you more in the future!
