Hi. My name is Marcus and i signed up for the ambassador program and are excited to contribute to the community in the way i can. I have followed this thread throughout the day and find it interesting to have something to give people when talking to them, like a business card. I really liked the idea from Raul Libório and have tested a little myself using his picture as a base. I'm attaching here for you to see, it might give ideas for the final layout, i hope. It would be nice with the green theming on the business card. The picture attached is in png format but i got it in svg to, The front should provide as much info as possible regarding ways of contacting the ambassador. /Marcus ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier" <jzb@zonker.net> To: "RageCryX" <ragecryx@yahoo.gr> Cc: opensuse-marketing@opensuse.org Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 8:06:32 PM GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna Subject: Re: [opensuse-marketing] Talks Templates 2009/6/24 RageCryX <ragecryx@yahoo.gr>:
But, of course each ambassador is expected to get the mandatory Novell tattoo. That won't be a problem, will it? ;-) No offence but i think...
This is a very nice way to make people not use and contribute to openSUSE. Many aspects of it must be liberated from the company it supports it. So in fact this phrase doesnt sound funny, its the bitter truth. In my opinion if openSUSE wants to spread more it must look more liberal on users and by being tied on a company like this has the opposite effect. So i think we better look after making non-novell-branded promotional material (including the presentation templates this thread is about).
I do hope it was understood I was kidding. (hence the smiley) As I mentioned before - I would like to see a set of templates for openSUSE ambassadors that does not have a Novell logo, and neither I or Novell has a problem with openSUSE ambassadors using presentations without a Novell logo. (It'd be *nice but not required if there was some mention of Novell's role as a sponsor of the project -- but that's up to the ambassador and whether they choose or want to give Novell a mention.) A lot has been done over the past few years to make the openSUSE project more independent and I expect that will continue.
