[opensuse-marketing] ambassador reports
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Feb '25

23 Feb '25

Hi boosters, The marketing team has been brainstorming on how to give ambassadors a tad more attention in openSUSE; motivate them to make a bit more noise; and reward them for what they do. Now we have a few ideas, but for one, we thought it might make sense to use connect. Yes, it could probably be done via the wiki and other ways but I know you guys have a hammer and might see this as a nail :D *what is the problem* the ambassadors _sometimes_ create event reports. We want those reports for several reasons: - to have an idea of what they are doing - to measure how much we do - to motivate others - to SHOW what we do Unfortunately, not so many event reports are made although we're fairly sure many events have openSUSE attendance. This is due to several issues. *First*, not all ambassadors are so connected to us - many are not 'official ambassador' or their English skills are minimal and they are not internationally involved. I will send a follow-up mail with ideas on how to solve that. *Second*, filling in an event report on the wiki is not exactly easy for many. Some send one by mail - which is fine but leaves little record. *Third*, the reports receive little visibility. They are mentioned somewhere in the weekly news if you're lucky and of course on the marketing ML, but that's it pretty much. Numbers in it are not saved, we don't realy do anything with it as there is no real easy record. *The solution?* Ideally, the reports would end up in a central place, some database... And ideally, they would be connected to the ambassadors - so they can build up a trackrecord of events they have visited. Once we have this we can also show reports on eg news.o.o in a feed box on the side for example, or on our homepage. We can analyze and use statistics (for promo), promote events, do monthly articles - all kinds of things. We have an events page on en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassador_events which suffers from similar issues - most people don't create a page because it is not easy and not localized. *connect.o.o* In short. We wonder - would Connect not offer a much better way of handeling events, event reports and the like? Would it not offer a better place for ambassador user accounts (with associated event reports as track records)? Culd it offer an easy place for ambassadors to add info for an event and afterwards add a report & pictures which we can then display in the planet feed (localized, if needed)? In case you think this is relevant, chuck and manu might have some time to help with this both in 'how to do it' (I would also love to think abou that) and the doing itself. Cheers, Jos

Saturday, December 13th, starting at 10 am, at the hall "Levi" of “Archimede” public library (Settimo Torinese - TO, Italy, Piazza Campidoglio 50), the Italian openSUSE Advocates group, with GLugTO (GNU / Linux user group Torino: www.glugto.org ) in collaboration with FSUGItalia (Free software User Group Italia: www.fsugitalia.org) and the Multimedia Library Archimede (www.biblio.comune.settimo-torinese.to.it) with the participation of the Association LibreItalia (www.libreitalia.com) are organizing the openSUSE Meeting Italy 2014. During the day will be presented the operating system and the latest news, software, communities, projects, technical developments and the many ways to be part of the project. There will be talks suitable for a less experienced audience, and technical speeches designed for those who want to deepen their knowledge in this area. The event is open to everyone, not just to those who already know the openSUSE operating system or who are already part of the FOSS community. The purpose of this meeting is to share knowledge in an open, direct and conscious manner, providing an easy way to keep in touch and be a member of a worldwide community. Details about the event and the program will be available at: http://osmeeting.fsugitalia.org/ (only italian language) -- Alexjan Carraturo -- Twitter/Facebook/Identica/flickr: axjslack Personal site: http://axjslack.wordpress.com -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Release party Poster
by Kostas Koudaras 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi guys and girls I was wondering if there is someone around that can actually design a new poster for the 13.2 release parties. It would be nice to have one that people can just add the location/day/time of their party and print it, as a reference you can look at:https://en.opensuse.org/File:Opensuse_launch_party_smoke_by_anditosan.jp… Have fun Kostas -- --- \m/ --- If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative. --- \m/ --- me I am not I --- \m/ --- Time travel is possible, you just need to know the right aliens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Re: openSUSE 13.2 Features page
by Alberto Planas Dominguez 03 Nov '14

(Sorry if this emails arrives twice) > https://en.opensuse.org/Features_13.2 I cleaned the page a bit, removing some empty headers (like the Performance one) I do not like the overall quality of this page. But what the contributors of the mailing list think? Is OK to publish it? The plan B is to remove this page and use the portal one (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:13.2/Features) Thanks, Alberto Planas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Release announcement 13.2
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Sadly, the major features page [1] is still almost empty compared to previous releases but we are already WAY too late for the release announcement, since it needs to be translated before the release date. So I copied the previous one and started to draft something with the content we have. Help is desperately needed. We lack a headline, screenshots are from the previous announcement, there are missing sections and we still don't have the quotes. Not to mention that I wrote it in a hurry and it needs serious review. Here is it: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=18707&preview=true Cheers.
