[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

OK, than I'm giving out a public call to someone to proofread it. Manu, are you okay with doing it again? Though it should be okay grammatically. As for the first lesson, I'll be publishing it sometime before friday, as I'll be on a hiking trip from saturday to tuesday. What I need for someone to do is not forget to publish it, come tuesday. Though i'll send out another notice when i publish it, just as a reminder.

Hi Kostas. I'm okay with publishing tomorrow, but then it has to be Command Line Wednesdays :) Tuesday is today. So just take your pick, and inform me of your choice. Either I change everything to wednesday, or push it today. Thanks. P.s: i don't have an 'add media' button and have to add all the images in text mode. Anything i can do about that?

[opensuse-marketing] [NEWS SUGGESTION] Commandline Mondays
by Nenad Latinović 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi guys. Here goes another 'noob friendly' suggestion, which could subsequently help 'raising the bar' with newer linux users, or leisure users, if you may. The idea is the following: I wrote commandline Monday, but it can be any day, which is usually a slow day in the news section. On that day, I'd publish a short article on a specific command, what it does, and use an example. It could have quite a few benefits: 1) A fun way to learn commandline 2) Easier teaching and adoption of the commandline culture in the exclusively GUI world 3) 1 and 2 would ideally help in raising the bar with locating problems, subsequently maybe help newer users like me file more quality bug reports without having the developers and maintainers waste time issuing instructions on how to gain more information on the bug, or the forum problem topic. It would be actually an 'as you go' learning experience for me also, as I decided to start learning commandline, so it would be a great excuse for me to keep at it. We could also add a 'conf file of the week' or something of the sort, to subtly learn which files, log files and such usually appear with which problems. What do you think of this idea? Feedback would be very generous on your part. P.S.: Could someone please publish the news article, It's been sitting in review line for days now. It won't be exactly news if it's not published.

[opensuse-marketing] an idea to recycle : "lessWIKI to moreMentoring"??
by Françoise Wybrecht 16 May '14

16 May '14

subject : "WIKI to Mentoring" ??, alone to together, or "less doc-more humans ? hi again to the marketing ppl, As we did start a brainstorming meeting at Dubrovnik, I am still exploring a way to go from : go and do it (alone) to "how we can have fun together while doing marketing (attractiv, welcoming...) for openSUSE?" - As a starting point, you can find a mentoring brainstorming (mindmap attached or text/ pictures => see Morgane Marquis on google+) ok it's not 5 lines, but if you give me a piece of fee back, it'll be great-ty in advance xx - Then now ... I hope to find the courage to go and explore the wiki (as I heard many times you have to be superman to find the way, I think my chances to win are closed to null) If any of you have some interesting wiki link (this subject => here is a great actual page about it), thanks too, - And if you don't hear me anymore ... for sure I'll be somewhere in the wiki tunnel (labyrinth), drinking a beer with others geekos who lost themselves there. thanks again for all help and have a great week end ;-) Françoise
