11.4 is out, and I think it´s time for post-release marketing now! Maybe with this idea:
We can ask our users, to make a screenshot of their desktops and load up it to Facebook, Flickr or their server and send us the link. We can collect the photos and create a little "our user´s desktop show" with the screenshots.
*What´s the sense of this idea?* We will see, how many are using 11.4 already. And we will show our users, that openSUSE is _their_ distro too. It´s a good chance to make openSUSE more personal to our users.
*How we want to collect the pictures?* As I think today, we can use Facebook. The user upload the photo and post it to our profile. Also we can use planet openSUSE for that. Somebody blog about it, and the user post their desktops as a comment.
Can we use something that everyone can have access, I don't have and don't plan on having a facebook profile, if we end up somewhere lets write articles about it and let people sending us their Screenshots.
*What the f*ck to do with the pictures?* At first, we have to make clear, that the project is allowed to use the pics for marketing. We´ve got the advantage, that we have _free_ marketing stuff. But the real thing behind this is that we have a (hopefully huge) gallery with our user´s desktop.
*Why that all?* Because the user will think: openSUSE is my Linux! It makes the distro more personal (User: Darling, look, their´s my desktop! And their´s the desktop of our neighbours. And look their! Their´s the desktop of uncle Ronald from Alabama!) Another aspect is, that the user maybe see some nice desktops and get ideas of style his own.
Hope you will like it! If you still have some questions, don´t be afraid to ask ;)
thanks
I like this idea. Maybe it's possible to make a collage at the end to show everybody desktops (collection). A wall including a favorite selection.
Could this give us (as alive community) some visibility on Internet ?
I will come back with my screenshots.
