[opensuse-marketing] Plan for meeting
by Jos Poortvliet 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Heya, I'm really happy to see Manu started to talk about the 12.3 promo and Rajko even went as far as to prepare the Portal. There's a lot of work to do, we all know. Luckily, we have the marketing Hackaton coming. To make sure we have things to work on, it's a good idea to prepare that meeting. I've made a bit of an agenda with the main things: the announcement and feature page (part of the Portal!), social media and the ambassador program. Things are still missing - the flyer for example can use some design improvements before we print a batch of 10.000 ;-) I have not created a wiki page for this as we have some todo lists - which we can go over on the first day of the hackaton. Some: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_checklist https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Public_release_action_plan https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_jobs Cleaning those up, preparing for the release etc is something we can already start on, as well as during the meeting. But I would like input on the agenda draft I made for the hackaton: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:12.3_marketing_hackaton#Agenda Maybe we can also look at the agenda of our previous meetings: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:12.1_Marketing_Hackfest https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4_Marketing_Hackfest Let me know what you think and fix what you see is wrong :D Hugs, Jos

30 Jan '13

Heya, I've made a rather detailed schedule: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:12.3_marketing_hackathon#Schedule_proposal Please look over it. There are a few meetings and other specific things in there that need to happen, some things are still open. The rooms are also appointed so if you want to make changes, note that the room configuration might make it hard/impossible to do so! Feedback and additions still welcome, how are the lists of tasks coming? Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Articles
by Jos Poortvliet 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Heya, Just a heads-up: Will and myself are working on an article about the hackfest last weekend which should go live today. Tomorrow I scheduled the openSUSE conference wrap-up and for Thursday the openSUSE 12.2 release wrap-up. I'm trying to write about FOSDEM and openSUSE on the Samsung Series 3 ARM Chromebook next week. Meanwhile, the OBS is getting close to 40.000 repositories and 200.000 packages!!! It would be cool to do an article on that in the coming weeks/months (when we reach the threshold). It could have a bit of history and where we are now, with quotes from a few of the involved people. Anyone interested in doing this? I know Helen is real good at articles like this... ?? We'd give it some decent exposure, do a press release on it etc - OBS deserves some fresh attention. Hugs, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Live USB creator box using Raspberry Pi, for events-booths etc!
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hello, I got an idea after many Raspberry Pi projects I saw so far. Unfortunately I don't know how to make it. Maybe someone can do it. Well, the idea is to create a box (any shape is OK with openSUSE artwork). Inside this box will have a raspberry pi (or any other cheap ARM machine). Save GNOME and KDE isos on SD card. Have 2 buttons connected on the GPIO on Pi. When you plug in the USB and press the GNOME button, the machine will run the dd command and create GNOME Live USB. Take care, Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis The power corrupts. The absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fear is not real. It is a product of thought that you create. Fear is a choice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] [Event Report] Cerea's Fair
by Marina Latini 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi all! >From Saturday 12th to Sunday 13th January 2013 has took place our second partecipation to Cerea's fair (VR) in Italy. I and other members of FSUGItalia have participated at the fair in Cerea (Verona) presenting openSUSE to the public. We must start by saying that, as in the past edition, the fair has been a great success, big participation and queues with about 20000 visitors. The organization of the fair has given us a great place, a six linear meters booth in front of the main entrance! We have set up the stand with 6 notebooks, 3 netbooks, 1 "ST SPEAr320 evaluation board" and 1 "ST-Ericsson Snowball board" equipped with openSUSE 12.2 configured with different desktop manager. A large number of people came to ask us about what openSUSE is. The computers exhibited have attracted the attention of passers, that, in many cases, were familiar only to Ubuntu. Most frequent question was inherent to the differences between Ubuntu and openSUSE and what are the advantages of this second operating system. An event with such a big audience is definitely challenging and very tiring but we have got a great success that has rewarded us for all the efforts made to achieve this participation. The enthusiasm and interest of the people involved also the organizers, that have proposed to participate to the next edition of this fair. Here http://denebinside.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/report-fiera-di-cerea-2013/ you can find the report (Italian/English) of Cerea's Fair (Italy). Other useful informations are reachable here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cerea_Fair_2013 We are editing a video and uploading a photo gallery; as soon as possible all the materials will be online.

[opensuse-marketing] t-shirts
by Peter Czanik 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hello, Yesterday we had the first openSUSE beer event here in Budapest. There were a couple of developers and users and as a surprise guest, even a senior manager from the local Novell/SuSE office joined us. It was a very nice and interesting evening, mostly getting known each other, but of course also talking about openSUSE. One of the topics we discussed was why the active part of the Hungarian openSUSE community is so small, especially as there were a lot more active people 5-6 years ago. At conferences and even at the beer event I'm the only one wearing an openSUSE T-shirt. It would be great, if we could have T-shirts to have a lot more visibility at events where we go. Question: is it possible to order a bunch of T-shirts, so the core of the Hungarian openSUSE community could wear it at different conferences and events? I think, about 15-20 T-shirts would cover most of the active people. We plan a release party right after 12.3 is released, and would be great if I could hand out the T-shirts at this event. I'll be at FOSDEM, so instead of using the post office, I could pick them up there and fly them to Hungary.
