[opensuse-marketing] [DRAFT] Screenshot contest article
by Nenad Latinović 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hey guys. You can preview the text for the tomorrow's screenshot contest article here: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=19146&preview=true The text is kind of freakishly formatted currently, but I'll fix it tomorrow before publishing it, and equip it with links and some funny pictures. So please, do focus on the content, if I maybe missed out on something. I'm focusing on forums and Connect for a reason - to make the most of our existing infrastructure and to not gather proposals all over the internet. I made a test poll and tried it out, and it seems as though polls on Connect will take it nicely also. Once again, please do come forward if you have any objections/suggestions, otherwise this is going out tomorrow early afternoon at the latest. Kind regards, -- Nenad Latinović holden87(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Screenshot contest part 2
by Nenad Latinović 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hey guys, an update to the screenshot contest I recommended couple of weeks ago. (source: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-marketing/2015-02/msg00000.html) I've contacted UnixStickers for sponsorship, and while they did respond, they took their time, and the mail was only an inquiry into the frequency and amount of goods they would have to provide. After that, I received no response for quite some time, so I've sent another mail. No response to date. Now this is aimed mostly at you, Doug DeMaio - You've said to me you can take care of the sticker prizes? I'm really anxious to get it going, and if UnixStickers responds somewhere along the line, I could take that burden off your hands. The rules are written up in the link i posted, what i'd need from you is to send a sticker pack to each month's winner. Workflow: - On 31st of March, I'll post a news article informing our community about the screenshot contest and outlining the rules. I'll then open an appropriate forum topic in the screenshot section, and distribute the news on reddit and the Diaspora's official openSUSE account. I'd need only G+, TW and FB profile maintainers to distribute the info further. With all mentioned above, does green mean go? :) Kind regards, and a great spring weekend to all. -- Nenad Latinović nenad.latinovic(a)posteo.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi Bryan, I'll be snowboarding in the Alps at 2,300 meter with patchy wifi and a bunch of beer for the next week and a half. Don't hate on me too much. I recommend Andrew Wafaa do the interview on this occasion and that Richard be the secondary choice. cheers Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

The money part of the equation shouldn't be an issue, would that make it more likely?
