[opensuse-marketing] ambassador reports
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Feb '25

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

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Leap 15.3 kickoff
by Lubos Kocman 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello team, I did have a talk with openSUSE Board this morning about the enrolment of Jump concept in Leap 15.3 and we all agreed that it would be quite handy to have a small kickoff session (1-2 hours based on attendance) on 4th of November let's say 17:30 CEST. 4th of November is the official Devel phase start for Leap 15.3. I'd like to have a short talk (perhaps supported with slides) about what to expect from 15.3 Release and present roadmap. And then have a coffee talk with whoever comes and whats to discuss e.g. contributions to Leap 15.3 or share any concerns. I have to say that I recently did not have very good experience with screensharing in meet.opensuse.org (low res compared to e.g. Teams) so I'd appreciate a different format, unless we can get that fixed. If we skip slides then meet.opensuse.org would be fine. Unless somebody has a better idea (mozilla hubs etc, big blue button ...) And that's also why I'm reaching out to you ;-) -- Lubos Kocman, Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg - Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer

[opensuse-marketing] Material to describe/introduce openSUSE?
by Gerald Pfeifer 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hi folks, do we have material (presentation and/or otherwise) to introduce openSUSE to a new audience? Something covering "What is openSUSE?", "Why does openSUSE matter?", "Why is openSUSE cool?", "Why do I want to care?" ... ? That should be useful in various cases. One use could be introducing openSUSE to new colleagues joining SUSE (new hires or acquisition). :) Thanks, Gerald PS: Even if you have old material or partial stuff, please share. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
