[opensuse-marketing] Promo material stock questions
by Marcel Kühlhorn 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi all, in preparation to a small forums meet-up of opensuse-forum.de I'm putting together a list of things to get for it and stumbled across some questions meanwhile. First: When will openSUSE 12.2 Promo-DVDs earliest be available? The meeting is scheduled for the last September weekend (28 to 30.09.) and it would be a certain nice to have them by then. If that is not possible I'll order them later on seperately from the other items. Second: Is all on this list currently available: - 600 DVDs - 600 stickers (one sticker per DVD) - 400 flyers - 200 small posters (the ones with the calendars on the backside, guess there will be new ones for 2013) - 100 big posters - 20 t-shirts for attendees Third: Are there different T-Shirt sizes? If so I'll have to ask those who already confirmed their attendance what sizes they need. Fourth: Is it possible to get hands on some old toad? That's all for now, looking forward to get some answers. -- Marcel Kühlhorn freenode: tux93 Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-marketing] Interviews with speakers from oSC Future Media track
by Jos Poortvliet 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Heya folks, At the openSUSE Conference we have a 'specia' track about the effects of modern Media on our life - think about the risks of not owning your data in the cloud (and what is done against that by awesome people building Free networks and open cloud software), the benefits open source can bring (using open source technology and methods for disaster relief), and more. These things are very interesting and it is valuable to tell people about it and persuade them to visit the conference! A good way of doing that is by doing a few interviews with these speakers. You can find the list of speakers on http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/ and I have contact details of all of them. As questions, the following would suffice: - tell us about yourself - what will you talk about - How did you get involved with that and why do you care about it so much, why does it matter? - what do you have to say to the (potential) visitors of the conference, what would you say is your message? I need someone to help me with this. It is easy: all you have to do is mail these folks (I'll give you their addresses), ask them if they ware OK doing an interview, if Ok send the questions, collect the answers, maybe do a bit of back-and-forth if things are unclear, and put it all in 1 or a few articles with me. If you're up for it, you COULD do one or all of the interviews by skype or Google hangout. That is very cool - although you might want to record them to not miss anything :D Upside: you not only get to help openSUSE and do a bit of writing with someone who has some experience, but you also get to chat with these very interesting folks! Who wants to help? /Jos

[opensuse-marketing] oSC media plan
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Heya folks, I've been going over our old todo lists for conferences and such to make a short 'todo' for the openSUSE Conf marketing. Lots of things are done already so I skipped those, just planning for the last 4 weeks. I'd love to hear comments/ideas for things to add and especially "I'll do that's" from all of you ;-) For the artwork stuff, I've already asked the artwork team so that's not on the list. /Jos Tip: the interviews are both important and not too hard to do. Also, we have a few VERY interesting speakers so it's fun to do :D I'd really appreciate help with those! openSUSE Conference Media Action Plan Until two weeks before oSC * do and publish speaker interviews * Write announcement of parties * Other announcements? * Create last "why come" article before conf with all stuff coming linked * Prepare tweets etc for these announcements and articles, use bit.ly links for tracking and spread to ambassadors! * pick hashtag and advertise it (probably #oSC12?) Until 3 days before conference * Plan things to be announced and decided at the conf * pre-write those announcements * Create presskit for conference * Send press kit around and prepare some for journalists at the conf During the event * Write daily reports on oSC * Keep the world updated on what is going on at oSC/LD/etc After the event * Create final report of oSC with links to all announcements etc
