[opensuse-marketing] ambassador reports

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

Hi all, I need a little help to putting some content on the wiki page for openSUSE Leap 15.1. I have started an outline template for Leap 15.1. I'll have more time to work on it after SUSECON and the openSUSE Summit in Nashville, but will still need some help generating content for it on https://en.opensuse.org/Features_15.1 The screenshots page has also been created at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.1/Screenshots The current images on it are of Leap 15. Please feel free to add screenshots of 15.1. Just upload the new image and update the text and links to the image. The portal is created and the navigation bar will be updated closer to the release. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.1 v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] [Idea] What can I do for openSUSE
by dcermak＠suse.com 22 Mar '19

Hi list, I have been recently trying to mentor a volunteer on IRC how to contribute to openSUSE (GNOME specifically) and I ran into the issue, what to recommend a newcomer to do? This reminded me of the following page that Fedora provides: https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ What are your thoughts about creating something like that for openSUSE? Or does something like that already exist?
