18 Apr '19

Hi all, As per a previous discussion we had (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse -marketing/2019-01/msg00006.html), I have created an openSUSE_FR account on Mastodon (through the well known Framapiaf instance). The account can be found here : https://framapiaf.org/@openSUSE_FR I have succeeded in gathering a couple of motivated people to help me translating news every week, so we will post on a regular base. @ Douglas : I will email you the admin access if it is ok to you.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Wiki Page for Leap 15.1
by ddemaio 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

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

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?

[opensuse-marketing] TW reviews on news.o.o?
by Vinzenz Vietzke 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Hi, As I just went through dimstar's review of Tumbleweed I thought it would be good to have this at some "official" place as well. That would communicate the awesome work which is done in TW and maybe attract more users, contributors and developers. With RSS importing this could be even done automatically. What do you think? vinz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE on Mastodon
by Vinzenz Vietzke 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Hi everyone, I created an account for openSUSE at the federated social network Mastodon. You can find it at https://fosstodon.org/@opensuse *What is Mastodon* Mastodon is a distributed, federated social network that forms part of the Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers. Mastodon has microblogging features similar to Twitter. Each user is a member of a specific Mastodon server, known as an "instance" of the software, but can connect and communicate with users on other instances as well. Users post short messages called "toots" for others to see, subject to the adjustable privacy settings of the user and their particular instance. More at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software) *Why is it good for openSUSE* Being open source, privacy oriented and rooting from people with a huge interest in everything FOSS big parts of the userbase is what I'd call an easy target group for openSUSE. Just being around at their day-to-day social network is important With just announcing the account it gained 178 followers and big amount of replies, reposts etc. in just a few hours. The interest and welcoming by the users there is overwhelming. That aside I think it's good for openSUSE to stake a claim in terms of FOSS and privacy. The big social media services all have their own issues but privacy is somewhat a problem at all of them. *Who is in charge and what is published* Currently I'm the only one with access to the account. But of course I'm willing to hand over the credentials to someone official. The contents I posted and plan to post until someone else wants to take over are just the same as on openSUSE's twitter account. In the long run one has to see what people over there are interested in and adapt the contents accordingly. For any questions, go ahead.

[opensuse-marketing] Linuxday Dornbirn/Austria
by Vinzenz Vietzke 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hi there, I just saw that there will be an openSUSE booth at Linuxday Dornbirn in Austria on October 13th. My company TUXEDO Computers will be there as well and we will have at least one laptop running openSUSE available. So I'd like to get in touch with the oS booth staff in advance. Does anyone know who will be running the booth?

[opensuse-marketing] Getting Started with Linux Special Edition #32
by Jimmy PIERRE 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Hi, I have received an AD from Linux Magazine: http://www.sparkhaus-shop.com/eu/magazines/special-editions/eh32067.html It looks like the copycat of openSUSE Leap 42.3. Interesting promotion as a matter of fact.

[opensuse-marketing] Report summer 2018 SFD 28th April, 26th May, 31th May, 23rd June
by Jimmy PIERRE 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Greetings, I am a bit “free” these days as France is at a standstill as every summer. The audience was steady as usual except an enormous peak on 31st May as I will narrate below. On the 3 Saturdays, we started with lunch and we loaded the gear in the cars and headed to the City Hall. I moved the SFD dates nearer to the end of the month as the venue is near a commercial Mall and a Tramway station there are more people hanging around. Even if they do not pop in, at least, the *see* an activity going on. 28th April was Linux Presentation Day, new heads popped in I would say 25 and only one guy and a woman were sort of motivated to asked questions after my slides. The woman had an issue with her Apple ID, hummm LPD/Apple…. Then the guy “confessed” that he has installed Mint and needed some advice as he did not know what to do. Luckily, another attendee had his laptop with Mint, so we left them together and a *long* demo on openSUSE Leap 42.3 and 15 Beta. We carried on with some technical things. 26th May, hurrah, we had pre-loaded up 9 spare laptops (Thanks Doug for the early GM) and also burnt 35 DVDs. People came in and out, some timid people just over looking on each other shoulders (We set up the room in a U where people can sit freely. Nothing much happened apart from JC who wanted an update to openSUSE Leap 15 now and then. The 35 DVDs got sort of new owners, all gone. Again, people had some issues and we gladly helped out. As usual, we bought coffee/tea/chocolate to the visitors. 31st May, End of year event. This happens in the evening. It is organized by the City to close the season and associations are welcome to have a stand so that people can see what they do… No counting here, local citizens just poured in. Some discovered Linux, some knew already, some were concerned on usability and the trick is to lure them to openSUSE by passing via open source on Windows. The future will tell. Anyway, food was served with the compliments of the city. 23rd June. Last SFD for the season. Many topics: byobu, GitHub, ip commands, WordPress and openSUSE Leap 15 etc. The command line was *very* popular as we had to demystify the terminal as it is easier to upgrade to openSUSE Leap 15. Then, in order to do some practical insets, we played with WordPress a lot and this seemed to please the audience. We will renew this in September. The woman with the Apple ID came back. In fact she could not update her OSX!!! Then we had a few people who came for their issues with Linux et al. A lady had a serious problem with VLOOKUP in Calc. We are now getting ready for the big venue 8th September where 270 associations are on display in open air. More info here: https://rouen.fr/forum-asso Afterwards, SFD as usual on 29th September, 27th October, 24th November, 15th December. We will definitely have a lot of fun :) Cheers, Jimmy nui.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
