I notice we haven't done a call for release parties. Who volunteered for that? Should be done, well, yesterday ;-) Is there a draft or something? Hugs, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] 12.3 Promotion Suggestion
by Bryen M Yunashko 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I was reading an Ostatic article which referred to Jos Poortvliet as "openSUSE's head cheerleader." It occurs to me this is an opportunity for a great promotion to get more people to try openSUSE 12.3... Public Challenge: When x downloads of 12.3 is reached, Jos will walk the streets of Berlin (on video!) in a cheerleader outfit. This should generate some good publicity. :-) Bryen M Yunashko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] LinuxEverywhere

Sir, Around 20 years passed but Linux could not reach every district of every country. Why? Required co-ordination among Linux factories!. Is it possible? How? The top five Linux factories should join together to invite a 'District Center Person-from every country' on voluntary basis to serve as "free distribution center of your distro". This can done by advertising through the home page of the brand. There should be some terms and condition to the persons involving with Linux distro brand which should not suppress other distros. Then you can scrutnize to appoint one or more District Center Person/s. Such person should use only Linux to copy/burn the installation media. This can be done on "trial and error basis" in certain countries such as some countries like and India where the Tamil Nadu state government is giving off free laptops with pre installed BOSS - a debian based Linux OS. By doing this the huge expenses spent for sending free DVD/media can be cut down to zero and spread Linux. Generally, the persons receiving the DVD media uses it for his/her own purpose and keeps expecting to receive the versiond DVD at free of cost. At this time, you have to keep in touch with popular computer magazines. For example the LinuxforYou magazine, PCQuest,digit and chip from India provided many of Linux flavours on double layered DVD. The magazine costed 150 INR. It is affordable to all computer users, but most of the people don't know it. When your distro was provied, it may be simply advertised on your website to the general public. This will divert the people waiting for free promotional DVD. May the Linux sprout on every laptops/pcs whether it is for personal use or governmental or industrial purpose. The year 2013 is waiting for it. Let us stop beating our own tom tom and concentrate on spreading Linux in a costless way since the huge OS itself does not cost anything. Then why people especially the student community is hesitating or afraid of using Linux. Though the Linux was made by a student who had no support from anybody. Here I have to remind a quote said by the great swamy Vivekananda "arise awake till the goal is reached. Note :I am a regular user of SuSE, OpenSuSE and RedHat Linux user for moe than 15 years for personal purpose. Thanking you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
