imho that's for sure a fun idea and an interesting idea for a marketing target

We should add this to the marketing page under a suggested promotions area. In the next year, I'd like the ambassadors and marketing team to take a more active role in deciding what items to purchase and give away -- also with the caveat that what we buy (stickers, t-shirts, etc.) means money we can't spend on other things (travel, sponsorships, DVDs, etc.). We should look at items like this: * Who are we targeting? New users? Contributors? * What's the purpose? Fun, brand awareness, education, etc.? * What impact will it have? * Is it worth the money we'd spend and the time it takes to produce? Note that new items not only have a dollar cost but also a time cost in getting new materials produced. On average, any new item probably winds up taking between four and eight hours of meetings and other time to get those produced (telling marcomm what we want, approving designs, etc.) Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager: http://zonker.opensuse.org Blogs: http://blogs.zdnet.com/community | http://www.dissociatedpress.net Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb http://identi.ca/group/opensuse/members -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I think these ones worked without the water, but I'm not 100% sure.

You got your point there, we'd better have this kind of ideas first and they mimic us ;=) But as far as i'm concerned if the idea is cheap and useful why not recycle ?

Hi,

I think its good and bad... Its good because its one more brilliant way to promote openSUSE. But its also bad because we once again mimic fedora community.
