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

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] [Event invitation] Software Freedom Kosova
by Marina Latini 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hello Community, at FOSDEM the openSUSE community has been invited to attend the Software Freedom Kosova[0] planned from April 17 to 19. I was wondering if some of our community members from that area are already planning to attend the conference. This will be an important opportunity for sharing more about our project and strength the relationship between the openSUSE project and the local openSUSE community active there. As you already know, this year we will also co-organize and co-attend events together with the LibreOffice community, as part of the shared celebrations for our anniversaries. I know that the LibreOffice community is already planning to attend the Software Freedom Kosova. I already added this event to the events wiki page[1]. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

[opensuse-marketing] Howto: Instant Fresh openSUSE Tumbleweed with Docker and Vagrant Images
by Martin Vidner 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Hi, I wrote a short piece about how you can use Vagrant or Docker to try out the latest Tumbleweed: https://mvidner.blogspot.com/2020/01/fresh-opensuse-tumbleweed-docker-vagra… On Twitter @openSUSE already retweeted it https://twitter.com/mvidner/status/1222533120928419841 but someone suggested that I send it here because you people may want to send it to other channels. So, here it is. -- Martin Vidner, YaST Team http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner
