Hi all,
openSUSE 12.2 will be released on Sept 5th, so there are only about 3 weeks left.
To prepare a proper press release we need to collect the most interesting new features of 12.2.
For collecting them we need help. So if you know of any super-duper-high-end-brand-new things that are on 12.2 and should go into a press release feel free to add them to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features
A good source for finding more product highlights might be http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ChangeLog
If you are coltish, feel free to read http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Product_highlights_writing and help us to bring the collected items in a proper form
There is already http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Upcoming_features with existing content, why yet another page?
The upcoming features page is part of the 'talking points' for ambassadors - it tells them what to talk about for the UPCOMING release. The Product Highlights (which, for 12.2, we're preparing here: http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights_12.2 ) are meant for a released version of openSUSE. Obviously, a good start for the 12.2 product highlights is a copy-over from the 'upcoming features' page you link to and I have done that - copied all that over, cleaned it up a bit and tried to put it in the right places. Still lots to do. ==We Need You== Now, we need all packagers to go to the page and make sure their most significant updates are mentioned there, preferably with a short list of what's cool and new (and why it matters to users). If you don't, we can't guarantee your packages will be mentioned and that would be sad... Note that you don't have to write pretty marketing texts, others can turn your 'braindump' into prettyness if needed! Once the list has all important changes in openSUSE 12.2 compared to 12.1, we'll have to arrange for somebody to go over it, pretty up the text, and work with others to get screenshots in. Based on that we can make announcements for the press and all that and get this release out :D Hugs, Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
