[opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Feedback for the Weekly News

Hello Mates, Since a few weeks our survey in the Forums is running In the last Issue i've motivated the Readers to tell us, what they want. Here is the first result: - Chuck: Ambassador Events included in upcoming events - PBleser: Find Interesting for Users who are reading regularly the Mailinglists and planetsuse. - yamaban: 1. A newsflash-category: just short comments {160char? } with (outside-)links to news around Linux, kernel, and apps. Not necessarily bound to openSUSE, a view beyond the soup-dish would be welcome. 2. A version-update-category: short comments on the type of program and changes in the new version, links to further info and 1-click-installs 3. A event-category: what events are newly announced? outside-links to further Info an the upcoming events. Comments on done events, outside- links to further comments/info 4. Make it a point/portal for the users weekly news-fix without the need to subscribe to around 20 or so feeds and another 15 or more mailing lists. -Hylton Conacher: As a user of the OpenSuSE distribution, I would like to see more about repository updates when software is updated ie FireFox was recently patched to 3.5.1 however the version on my system is 3.0.0.11 and I have requested the system several times to check for updates via the opensuse updater applet. Always have an entry to where users can find tutorials specific to OpenSuSE. Whilst I have been using OpenSuSe since version 10.0, I still could not explain to someone what or how a software repository is or works. Does one need to be added for each software app installed, if available, and are the newer versions confirmed to work with OpenSuSe? If they need testing first then the time between update release and the update of the opensuse update mirror needs to be improved. PBlesers Wish i've realized through adding Linux.com, digg and wordpress to the Sources. And i've connected me to Community Manager from other Projects (like Lydia Pintscher) to write articles exclusivly for the openSUSE Weekly News. The Education Project write us an article too. What are you meaning about the rest from the Proposals? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com
