by Peter Czanik 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi, Reading https://news.opensuse.org/2014/08/14/gsoc-what-i-have-learned/ I asked our GSoC student to write up a summary of his work on Zorp, which he did under the openSUSE GSoC umbrella. It's almost ready, so I'd like to ask, who should we contact to post it on news.opensuse.org Thanks, bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] News Survey - Responses - Part 1
by Nenad Latinović 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi there. There have been some interesting responses regarding n.o.o. so i'd like to point some of the recurring ones. 1. For now (110+ responses), the quality of the news is rated somewhere between 3 and 4. (both tied, but there are 9 responses for 1 and 2, and only 6 for 5). 2. About 40% would like more focus on development news, while 19% each are for tutorials and power user topics. There are no responses for artwork news and a few for others. 3. There are currently a vast majority of wishes for news to be published only a couple of times/week instead of every day, or once a week. 4. The site's appearance is rated nearly 50 for 4, and 30+ for 3. About twenty percent want an overhaul, the same are against it, while 50+ % think the appearance is not important, but only content. And now for the most important part: In the 'write your opinion' section, the most recurring responses are that non-technical and technical news should be treated equally, so I guess we'd need a power-user who's willing to write for n.o.o. regularly. The other is that series like the past CLT and similar don't belong on the news site, but there are suggestions to either create a separate site like omgubuntu of fedoraftw, or to find a way to merge the n.o.o. with lizards. How could that be done? Maybe create a separate site, f.ex. green.opensuse.org, or to try and make n.o.o. as omgubuntu as possible? Anyway, these are my two cents, and just something for you to brainstorm. Responses would be appreciated.

[opensuse-marketing] [PUBLISHED]openSUSE News Survey
by Nenad Latinović 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hey guys. I've published the survey. I decided to use Google's tools, because Connect doesn't let me make multiple questions in a single poll. I did it because I think it's the easiest way to get some feedback about the hard work we've been putting in lately. I kept it short and basic, just to get a feeling of general effect on our readers. I, of course, hope you fill it out and share it also.

Hey guys? Has there been any thought put into maybe making a wallpaper contest for 13.2 for other wallpapers (non-default ones).

[opensuse-marketing] regular Factory news?
by Ludwig Nussel 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hi, I was wondering how to keep spreading the word about Factory. If we'd generate a diff of the package changelogs between the published snapshots, would it make sense resp would anyone be interested in working that up and blog on lizards or make posts to news.o.o if there are noteworthy changes? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ 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] openSUSE course
by Jasna Benčić 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Sorry for not reaching out sooner. Lots of stuff going on my side. I have thought about my initial idea really well - working on Facebook marketing. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to work on that because that takes daily dedication. I am sorry for jumping too fast on that idea. Currently I have in my mind Croatian FLOSS educational project that I have and that I could fork and that could have an openSUSE pragmatic examples as well. My current project is based on Ubuntu since I am mainly Ubuntu user. Everything will be on Canvas Instructure LMS unless I find something better. So, this will be a project meant for schools mainly where teachers will be able to upgrade and edit further. Consider it as a starting point for them. I already have one part of it done but it still needs polishing and polishing and openSUSE version. I've decided to work on this instead of marketing because I can work on weekends when I have most of my free time. By profession I am a teacher of Informatics but I ended up in industry. So, my teacher call has to get out somewhere, volunteering in this case. I won't bug you with details, you'll just get the link when it will be roughly done and ready for your feedback. Regards and sorry again for jumping too fast on some idea without thorough thinking on it through, Jasna PS. If you have some teacher of Informatics among you or people you know send them my way because more eyes see more. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
