Nice. We already have some slideshow information, would you be willing to create a few more of those and put it online with the other marketing
materials in this area: What is the context I should be keeping in mind? Is this still for the website or is it for a booth slideshow (like your wiki link says)? Cuz I have made some booth slides a few weeks ago but I haven't posted them to the wiki yet. Download is available at: http://www.box.net/shared/mhcya0t2p9
Both, put it on the wiki please! If it is big (and I guess it is) please ask Kostas or someone else with access to git to upload it there.
Cheers, Pieter

+1 for a slideshow - that would be an attention grabber. But which format would you like to use for the slideshow? I have three ideas.
- SCREENSHOTS. Show off some of the things that are unique to openSUSE and by extension Linux. One image with a caption on each slide. - TALKING POINTS. Rotate between a few one-liners that highlight key advantages over other operating systems or distributions. Use neutral, abstract backgrounds. Here's an example I put together in five minutes using existing material: http://i.imgur.com/ob0tz.png You can link these talking points to other pages for more information.

- BOTH. Explain talking points briefly and balance out the text with an image or a screenshot. Ubuntu's website at http://www.ubuntu.com/ features a good example. This approach requires more space than is available in the website design draft however, otherwise the slideshow would look packed and wouldn't be inviting to take a look at.
I like the design, but I noticed that the column alignment isn't entirely consistent. I highlighted the table grid in blue here: http://i.imgur.com/qGMu6.png

Hi All
I know it is abrupt but I need some help Have a look at this http://suseware.com/trial/extended.php
I will like all of us to apply our minds to get a set of images that can work as a slide show instead of the 11.2 box..
Also, please check the links below.. see if something is missing
I know I have to add twitter, identica and facebook
Hi Manu! I agree we should replace the box with a slideshow. Some more things we need to work on until we can put this into production: - I18n: Probably we should use PHP Gettext for this. We need the language dependant content in .pot files, so we can make use of our translation community to have the landing page in many languages - Automatic redirect to the users language - The bento javascript files should get sourced from static.o.o so we don't have to update all sites when something changes in the menu. - The 'openSUSE Project' box: I'm not sure we need that, maybe we should just add more links in the text on the left side, as those links are also in the header and the footer Instead of this I would add an additional box with the latest community blogs from planetsuse.
Could you push this to our infrastructure svn at: https://developer.berlios.de/projects/opensuse/ So we can work together on it?
