Hey! The countdown banners that are all over openSUSE.org are still adverting the conference - perhaps someone could make a new banner based on the new designs and symbols from the new landing page: http://cyntss.github.io/opensuse-landing-page And then link to https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap Here's the git repo for those who can grok the procedure: https://github.com/openSUSE/countdown.o.o Rolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Let's Get Organized!
by Robert Martens 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

I know that we have many discussions spring up around the oSC 15 talks and ongoing discussion around the openSUSE 42 development, and I think that marketing needs to be organized and ready for when the time comes to really push the next release of openSUSE (whatever it ends up being called). So, who do we have here? What do we need to be doing to get ready for the future releases? What can we be doing in the interim to “market” Tumbleweed and the other projects within the greater openSUSE community? This is a huge, HUGE discussion … but this is the place to have it.

I don’t have any information specific to that. It did look really good.

I’m not very useful locally because there isn’t a technology scene to speak of where I am and my interest in Linux and openSUSE are mainly as the basis for infrastructure. However, I think there is a benefit to not just working right now, but planning for the rollout of openSUSE 42 in the (near) future. This also coincides with the discussion around focusing marketing efforts on the “makers” of the larger community (developers, sysadmins, etc.) which will require coordination for graphics, articles, “talking points” for clarification, etc. > Ok, I think I get your point.

There seems to be an overall feeling by some that marketing does not have the engagement that it deserves, but it is possible that my thoughts are being clouded by loud voices. > We are all the openSUSE Project, here your voice is heard and > respected, at least the times that you have something to say and not > just talking because you like hearing your voice :P > Please by all means, share your thoughts. > > > > Sincerely, > > Bob Martens > > > > http://bobmartens.net > > @boblmartens > > > >>> > >>> Sincerely, > >>> Bob Martens > >>> > >>> -- > >>> This electronic communication, including any attached documents, may > >>> contain confidential and/or legally privileged information that is intended > >>> only for use by the recipient(s) named above.
