[opensuse-marketing] Script for Leap
by Douglas DeMaio 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hi all, The next release of openSUSE Leap is coming along and we need some help marketing it. One solution that could be helpful would be to have a script like we have with Tumbleweed (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-08/msg00256.html) that produces a list of the differences in version number from openSUSE Leap 42.1 to openSUSE Leap 42.2. It would also be great if the script could list the differences between 42.1, 42.2 and SLE 12 SP2. this will help us publicize the differences in the versions and allow us to articulate the benefits of Leap to potential new users. The scripts for Tumbleweed were written in python, so some of the script for the Leap purpose could be reused. If you would like to write this script for this and future releases of Leap, please please email the openSUSE Factory Mailing List and cc me. 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

Alright sorry for the delay. I wrote up a post for the tourism stuff[1]. I think it would be better to keep the tourism and food/shopping separate as the post ended up being quite long. Also I should point out, I want to add pictures of the locations/google maps to the post as needed but pastebin doesn’t allow images :) Let me know what you all think.

[opensuse-marketing] Software.opensuse.org Currently Down
by aelaric 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

You guys probably already know this but the software.opensuse.org site has been down for some time now. By "down" I mean you can browse to the site but you can't do any searches. I understand that the openSUSE board is aware of this and seeking a solution. Anybody know what happened or what the nature of the problem is? --Aelaric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Report on SFD 25th June, 2016.
by Jimmy PIERRE 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Greetings from NUI, Normandy. The 25th June was the last of the season SFD before the huge Regional gathering hosted by the city of Rouen on 10th September, then International SFD 17th September. The weather was depressing, it was the first Saturday of Summer, but no sun at all…Anyway with openSUSE, we usually have fun without the sun, right! When doors opened, we normally have a massive crowd that gives a hint of the day. This time, despite the usual tam-tam/powwow, smoke signals, whatever it was us and us. I started to think, either everything was working fine or there was no interest in Linux (in general). I therefore checked what activities were going on in other clubs, Chess, zumba, cooking, yoga, miniatures, bridge and they were experiencing same sort of attendance. Then miracles started to happen. A corporate admin needed a few tweats (Bluetooth), firefox issues etc. arrived on his motorbike, then came, our Greek lady with libreoffice files issues. A lady had lost her password. An old acquaintance monopolized me for more than one hour with Adobe issues. A visitor wanted collaborative software for NGOs in Africa. I had in the past installed a software for sharing documents, chat, organize meetings and I did not see any of us flying in Africa to maintain free software in countries at war of that can start war for silly reasons…. But I offered to train him. I also pointed him to open365.org The teacher came to check latest tricks, I had a couple who thought that we were running a cybercafé and needed to check their emails. I had someone to chaperon them, just in case. Mind you, a gentleman walked in at around 18:00 and wanted to check his email too. Maybe I should put a sign outside: Free Internet! Two engineers (Ex coworkers at ENGIE) came especially from Paris to check SUSE. One of them brought his 5 year old daughter and 10 years son, those two I will not count. Anyway, we gave out something like 9 visiting cards to curious people passing by and wanted to know what we were doing and received firm promises of visiting next academic year. i;e; September next. I also had a guy walking in and looking around at the screens and when I stood up to go and greet him, he sort of sped up his pace and went out. Including the last strange visitor, we had only 22 visitors, not our best attendance. I will put this down on Euro 2016. Portugal / Croatia playing that evening. I will start marketing September events this month. We also have our dates up to December 2016.
