[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

Hi all, As I stated in https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/marketing-topics-collection-jan2020 I have written an article about Tilix, a tiling terminal emulator. The article has been split in two parts as it is quite long. The source file (markdown) and all the screenshots can be downloaded from here: https://cloud.volted.net/s/LegyqfcsGRz3ga2 I'd like to have your remarks and comments, do not hesitate to let me know if there are things to correct or add.

[opensuse-marketing] Questions and people to interview for the future occurences of People of openSUSE
by sogal 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Hi all, As we discussed during the last Marketing Team meeting last week, I have started to list a few questions for the next interviews. The idea is to have a pool of questions so all the interviews are not the same. I have also started a list of people I would like to send the interview to. Feel free to comment and add your own : https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/question_for_people_of_opensuse If everyone agrees I would like to start interviewing those people in order to publish an interview every 2 months (if possible).

[opensuse-marketing] Reviving the marketing team
by Vinzenz Vietzke 28 Dec '19

28 Dec '19

Hi all! Watching openSUSE from being not involved in development I get the impression that it keeps acting like a poker player: Having a full deck of cards at hand including four aces but not showing to anyone just because the position of his sun glasses could… possibly… eventually… under circumstances… be optimized. That's something I want to change and want to revive the marketing team and get arts people involved. So I started to take notes: 1) Create content - present tools - continuous reports about developments going on - do interviews with different people/teams about their work in oS - ask people running booths to report - show how cool oS features are - draw pictures, memes and such - create video demos of various oS features 2) Create buzz - push stuff from 1) to any platform online - push shop-o-o with monthly product - make raffles of stickers etc. - invite to chats, forums etc. to discuss things 3) Keep following up - run regular onboarding events for new people interested to help - tailor events for special interests ("how to work with oS as a web dev") I am willing to step up and coordinate the whole thing a bit. But this all needs a few more people. Anyone wanting to help with this is welcome. Also please keep in mind that the things I mentioned are just ideas and discussion is very much welcome. What are your thoughts? Who's in? Regards, vinz.
