[opensuse-marketing] People of openSUSE
by Cornelius Schumacher 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

We would like to revive the "people of openSUSE" interview series to give our community and the people who are interested in it a better view on who those people are who are making openSUSE. I talked to Uzair and set up the start of a new web site where we easily fill in future interviews. The site is at: http://opensuse.github.io/people It's work in progress. The idea is to add new interviews, but also add the previous ones as archive. It probably would be good to offer it under http://people.opensuse.org or something like that. The sources of the site are at: https://github.com/openSUSE/people I'll start contacting a few people for new interviews over the next couple of days. Feedback is welcome. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum(a)suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] FWD: Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2016 – Einreichungen bis zum 8. Januar
by Marcel Richter 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Das Wichtigste in Kürze: –––––––––––––––––––––––– - Chemnitzer Linux-Tage am 19. und 20. März 2016 - Anmelden von Vorträgen, Workshops oder Projekten ab sofort möglich https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2016/de/programm/call-for-lectures https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2016/de/programm/anmeldung/live - erstmalig bei den CLT: der Thomas-Krenn-Award - Hinweise zur Übernachtung https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2016/de/service/unterkunft-verpflegung ----------------------------------------------------------------------- … und ausführlich: –––––––––––––––––– Lange ist es ruhig gewesen auf diesem Kanal. Hinter den Kulissen ist das Treiben umso emsiger. Schließlich gibt es eine Menge vorzubereiten, damit sich auch im März 2016 das Hörsaalgebäude an der Reichenhainer Straße wieder mit Ausstellern, Vortragenden und Besuchern füllen kann. Ganz oben auf der Liste stand natürlich die CLT-Webseite, die ab sofort unter der gewohnten Adresse https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de zu finden ist. Für Außenstehende nicht zu sehen, unterstützt unser neues Backend uns künftig noch besser bei der Planung. 2016 wird die Veranstaltung unter dem Motto „Es ist Dein Projekt“ stehen. Raum wollen wir dabei nicht nur bekannten und etablierten Vorhaben aus dem Open-Source-Umfeld geben. Viele von Ihnen sind einst aus einer kleinen Idee und großem Engagement erwachsen. Dank kreativer Köpfe entstehen immer wieder derartige Keimzellen. Wir laden sie hiermit herzlich ein, sich bei den Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen vorzustellen. Gefragt sind dabei sowohl Beiträge für das Vortrags- oder Workshopprogramm als auch für unseren Live-Bereich. Die Formulare sind auf unserer Webseite über „Call for Lectures“ und „Call for Presentations“ erreichbar. Auch das Kinder- und Jugendprogramm, das in diesem Jahr ausgebucht war und auf große Begeisterung stieß, steht für 2016 wieder mit neuen und spannenden Angeboten auf dem Plan. Erstmalig wird bei den Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen der 2010 ins Leben gerufene Thomas-Krenn-Award vergeben. Damit zeichnet der Server-Hersteller aus Freyung im Bayerischen Wald regelmäßig besonders spannende und zukunftsträchtige Projekte aus. Der Preis ist mit Sachspenden im Gesamtwert von mehreren Tausend Euro verbunden; die Jury wird wieder aus Personen bestehen, die sich um Linux und Open Source im deutschsprachigen Raum verdient gemacht haben. Eine Möglichkeit zur Teilnahmeanmeldung haben wir in unsere Formulare integriert. Einen wichtigen Hinweis haben wir an Besucher, die eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit benötigen. Das Indoor-Camping können wir im kommenden März leider nicht anbieten. Eine Liste alternativer Möglichkeiten haben wir auf unserer Webseite unter https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2016/de/service/unterkunft-verpflegung bereitgestellt. Verschiedene Wohnungsunternehmen haben zudem Gästewohnungen im Angebot. Wir raten unseren Gästen, sich rechtzeitig über Buchungsmöglichkeiten zu informieren. Die Anmeldeformulare für Beiträge werden bis zum 8. Januar 2016 online sein. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf die Einreichungen.

[opensuse-marketing] Volunteering to do at least 1 (maybe more) presentations at SCALE
by Tony Su 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Am submitting to reserve a slot to present on openSUSE at SCALE. If no one else is presenting on the openSUSE distros (including LEAP), I will do so. Am also planning on presenting a demo (if I can complete before the event) of an Elasticsearch (Hadoop style search cluster) on OpenStack and possibly Docker nodes.

by jimmypierre.rouen.france＠gmail.com 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi guys, Could we get that done this time please? the URL of your blog or, even better, the URL to the RSS/Atom feed of your blog: http://www.nui.fr/blog/?page_id=546 in which language you blog, especially if it's not in English: French your full name (e.g. John Doe) : Jimmy Pierre your IRC nickname on Freenode, if you have any (e.g. jdoe) whether you are an openSUSE Member so that a "member" button can be placed besides your name on the feedlist : Yes openSUSE Member (https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/jimmypierre) a hackergotchi -- while it's not mandatory, it is a lot nicer for the readers. If you need help with this send a picture to the openSUSE Artwork team. Cheers, Jimmy Pierre President Nui.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Event report from Japan
by Fuminobu TAKEYAMA 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

Hi, I attended to and held the following events in Japan. Here is my report. * Open Source Conference 2015 Kansai@Kyoto * Comic Market 88 * Open Source Conference 2015 Niigata * openSUSE mini Summit 2015 Open Source Conference 2015 Kansai@Kyoto ======================================== OSC Kyoto was held on Aug. 7th and 8th at Kyoto research park. Since it is one of the biggest open source event in the west area of Japan, 1,150 people came to the conference for the two days. You can see photos and my presentation slides on: http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1111 Thanks to openSUSE marketing team, I received many items to distribute from Germany, such as lamp-shaped balls, stickers, and leaflets. Small Geekos were giving them to people who visited our booth. I had presentation about openSUSE Leap and YaST. I explained how easily we can build a file server, which allows accessing former versions of stored files. We can set up user account, network, file systems, and samba server by YaST. Then, Snapper and Barfs add the version control feature to samba server. Comic Market 88 =============== Comic Market is a series of huge comic events. About half million people came together for three days. https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=comic+market+88&tbm=isch We, openSUSE User Group members, published a new issue of our magazine, named Geeko Magazine, at that event. It consists of articles on: * openSUSE Leap 42.1 * Btrfs and Snapper * Taskwarrior * Wireshark and the Heartbleed attack * openSUSE on ConoHa IaaS service * A short story about Geeko and brass band Of course, the magazine was edited by using Scribus on openSUSE. Open Source Conference 2015 Niigata =================================== OSC Niigata is a small conference compared to OSC Kyoto or Tokyo. Niigata is a city 2-hour away from Tokyo by high-speed train. About 130 people came to the Niigata city library, looked around booths, and listened to presentations. Please check photos on our blog: http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1128 openSUSE mini Summit 2015 ========================= I decided holding a small openSUSE summit to call openSUSE users in Japan together. We were able to find 20 attendees for the summit. Please look the photos and you will feel fun! http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1147 There were a keynote, three presentations, and 4 lightening talks. The keynote was held by Kentaro Hatori (aka. hatochan). He is a 9th Japan OSS Award winner for organizing Linux user group meeting every month more than 12 years. The talk was about good relationship between distribution user groups and regional Linux user groups. He said that participating to Linux user group makes a good chance to find new users of openSUSE. At the end of the summit, we did Jan-ken (scissors-paper-rock game) to get an openSUSE T-shirt. They had to win against a girl dressed like Geeko! Looks fun? Looks cute? We spent wonderful afternoon with openSUSE community members. Beyond that summit, there will be openSUSE.Asia summit in Japan. That's all. Please don't forget openSUSE.Asia Summit 2015 in Taipei, Taiwan is going to be held on Dec. 5 and 6! One more thing --- when you visit Japan, please let us know. This year, we had already parties with Sakana, Andreas, and Ola, who attended to LinuxCon Japan.
