by Chuck Payne 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Guys, openSUSE Marketing folks? Can we get together next Saturday for a couple of hours (1/26 ) do a Google hangout start talking about 12.3 what we can do to market it? Let me know, I am will to get thing set up. If not, what about setting up a Marketing Hack Week like we did a couple years ago. Any thoughts? -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-marketing] features of a new release
by Jos Poortvliet 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Heya all, Many of you have helped in the last 3-4 releases with writing the 'feature guide' or 'product highlights' and release announcements. You know it is not an easy task - as a matter of fact, it's a huge amount of work. With 11.4 and 12.1 we had a reasonably collaborative process, but even then we had almost no input from the actual package maintainers (for whom it is very easy to record what changes there are in their software). Instead, we had to go through long lists of packages, trying to find out what is new. Obviously, this doesn't really work. I've asked (as usual) if maintainers/packagers will add changes in their software to the wiki here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features but honestly, I don't really expect that to work very well. I would appreciate it if you kick developers you know, it would make a difference. If however it again boils down to a handful of people who barely know anything about the software having to go through all the packages, we will have to change how we work. How - I don't really know. Maybe we can change the policy on submitting things to Factory, like requiring a link to an upstream changelog on major releases or anything. Maybe you all have suggestions - ideas on improving this process are really welcome. The most important thing are of course changes really developed by and for openSUSE - even those we often miss, like ownCloud integration in openSUSE 12.1 (I heard about it 3 days before the release. Doesn't that make you cry?). Again - we need a way to find and describe them... Thoughts? Jos

[opensuse-marketing] wanna help?

Heya, If you feel like helping out with the release marketing, there is someting simple yet very helpful to do: Improve https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Upcoming_features with the information about new features described in these Milestone articles: * https://news.opensuse.org/2012/12/18/opensuse-12-3-milestone-2-released/ * https://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/08/opensuse-12-3-milestone-1-is-ready- for-you/ Just copying-pasting the stuff that's not mentioned yet is already a big help, cleaning up the text is just a bonus! I already added some of the things which will be in the announcement of Beta 1 tomorrow, but keeping an eye on that and adding what I forgot is again worth bonus points ;-) Have fun, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Release 12.3
by Manu Gupta 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi All openSUSE 12.3 release is round the corner. I can help out by writing one article a week, provided I get a feature list. openSUSE is fast aproaching beta phase, so that would be great if we have a list. I remember coolo had a script that would list all the packages that were upgraded, if I can get a link where the script is uploaded that will be great. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-marketing] FOSDEM Booth

Hi Alexjan, Of course we'd like your help - I just posted the latest information from the organisers which includes most of the practical information about where our booth is and such. At the moment, I'm still trying to figure out what we have and what we need - at the very least, we'd love to have you help us on the booth at some point during the conference. Will - what was the result of your meetings at SUSE? Do we know what gear SUSE are able to provide for the booth (in terms of Screens, etc) and how many DVD's/T-Shirts/Beer we'll have to sell/give away?

[opensuse-marketing] FOSDEM Booth latest from organisors
by Richard Brown 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

>From the FOSDEM Stand team, >>> Dear FOSDEM stand holders, This email contains a lot of practical information, please read it until the end. Location -------- You will be located in the K building, on the first floor. Attached (Kniv1_stands.jpg) is an image of the ground plan. Note that this is just a draft; the scale of the tables is an estimate and the spacing between stands is somewhat arbitrary. We've assigned the stand places as such: '''Group A''' 1. KDE 2. KDE 3. QT 4. Gnome 5. Gnome 6. CentOS 7. CentOS 8. Mageia 9. Ubuntu 10. Fedora 11. Fedora '''Group B''' 1. openSuse 2. openSuse 3. debian 4. debian 5. ownCloud 6. oVirt 7. GlusterFS 8. Xen.org '''Group C''' 1. FSFe 2. FSFe 3. FSFe 4. Mozilla 5. Mozilla 6. Libre Graphics Magazine 7. OpenStreetMap 8. Ca-cert 9. Ca-cert If you would prefer to be closer to another stand, or if you have any other questions or requests just contact us! Shipping -------- A number of people have been asking for a shipping address. I'm afraid we don't have any presence on the campus except for during FOSDEM, so we can not provide you with a shipping address. Please try to make your own shipping arrangements, but should you really really have no other option then do mail us. Timings ------- Build-up can start from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start passing by slowly around 10-11, it will be at full speed by 13:00 (end of keynotes). There is an overnight storage room in the H and K building. You can also leave stuff in the building overnight (buildings close), but we can not 'guard' the hallways on Sunday morning. We can also not provide any insurance or take responsibility in case of damage or theft. We do have security staff on campus at all times. Sunday starts around 9:00-10:00 and the tear-down starts at 18:00. By 19:00 the latest you should have cleared out so we can start cleaning. Varia ----- We provide a limited number of table-cloths, but you are more than welcome to provide any on your own, especially if you have something like a banner for your project. We will provide you with power sockets (*) but if you have a couple of extension cables, we recommend you do bring them along if possible. (*) note that Belgium uses type E sockets: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs_e If you need any adapters, make sure to bring them along as we cannot provide you with any ourselves. High-speed Internet uplink will be provided by means of WiFi everywhere. If you have a device that requires a wired ethernet connection you should take a bridge device with you. If you have any further questions, please contact us at stands(a)fosdem.org Thank you for your participation and see you in Brussels soon : ) Kind regards, The FOSDEM Team
