Hey folks, Just wanted to quickly update you all in mid-stride. Our release campaign is still going strong, although its a bit quieted down now in the evening. But so far, today has looked great on several fronts. We're seeing a lot of tweets nd retweets on Twitter. Many thanks to Izabel Valverde for stepping in to help with the cotweet today, even while balancing her time for LinuxCon-Brazil. Great job! Roger Luedecke is also giving focus for us on Google Plus. He's going to start peppering updates to our account there with news articles happening around the world. On Facebook, I've been keeping an eye on our Facebook accounts (and believe me there are MANY!) which was surprisingly time-consuming. Throughout the day, I have peppered articles onto the various pages and groups there. And by the way, our Facebook Group.... AWESOME! We've seen an increase of about 300 new members to that group in the last few days. And it seems to keep growing. Many thanks to all who clicked to approve new members. Speaking of articles, we are listing as many articles as we can find into http://en.opensuse.org/In_the_press. Please add more articles (even in different languages!!) to this page. And for all who are doing social media stuff, please mention these articles to your accounts. Believe me, journalists will appreciate that we spread traffic to their articles and will remember it for future articles. I've not been able to monitor Identi.ca or LinkedIn. Has anyone been following/monitoring those and if so, are you adding good stuff to them? Let me know whom you are so I can properly give you our thanks. One more thing I want to mention. We need to keep openSUSE strong in the social networking world for the next few days through to the weekend. Not everyone is reading social networking stuff today and we want to catch the weekend enthusiasts and get them turned on to downloading and cheering for openSUSE. Thanks to all!
