[opensuse-marketing] Collaboration Days conclude with a bang!
Folks, The openSUSE Marketing Team's Collaboration Days have concluded and Pascal (yaloki) entered the final statement into our log files as we closed up: "we can be heroes, just for one day" - David Bowie How fitting for us on days when so many marketing heroes stepped forward to make Collaboration Days a success. I'm going to leave the report for today's Social Media collaboration day to our fine moderators Manu Gupta and Jos Poortvliet to convey to you all, but for me, I just want to make a general statement. You all did a wonderful job and proved that when we need to come together, we can do it! So many tasks were identified over the last 3 events this month and identified many things that we need to focus on in 2011. So what's next? To be sure, we will definitely plan special Collaboration Days as the need arises within our team. Hopefully not with the intensity we faced this month with 3 weekly events, but still, we learned what works and what doesn't work. The next tentative "collaboration day" is actually a face-to-face hackfest which we are aiming for February. We encourage you all to take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4_Marketing_Hackfest Soon we will need to review the list of people who are interested and start making concrete plans for organizing this event. So what's next? Over the next few days (taking some time to celebrate the holidays of course), I will be compiling a grand list of Marketing ToDos on our wiki that combine the items we did not finish on our Collaboration days, other items not covered during the Days but still important for us to do, and etc. This will be an on-going living reference list that helps us to quickly identify what each of us can and want to do to complete the needs of the marketing team and supporting the promotion of openSUSE. Once I get this list started, I'll be encouraging you all to take a look at the list and commenting/suggesting items to the list. In the meantime, please... Enjoy the holiday season, be safe, and come back in 2011 strong, revitalized and energized!

I want to echo this statement, thanks all - super work! Really appreciate it, although I'm almost falling asleep behind the keyboard now ;-)

Yes, please, ppl, anyone who would WANT to come and contribute - just put your name there. Don't think about cost or whether the date works for you - we will figure that out later. ADD YOUR NAME IF YOU WANT TO COME PLEASE. Of course we can't fly 20 ppl over from India or the USA if we do it in Europe. But we don't have to do it in Europe, if it's cheaper to do it in the USA then that's where it'll be. And we have budget. The hotel will be free, I surely pay for that, the travel depends on how much you need it, how many ppl need it etc - but we will try to help as many ppl to come as possible!

Dude, you're a workaholic. Good luck compiling that list, it is useful, so thanks :D But then ppl (and that includes everyone who reads this and the dude who writes it) need to pick up those tasks! THink about it peeps, that's how we get things done - doing them ;-)
Once I get this list started, I'll be encouraging you all to take a look at the list and commenting/suggesting items to the list.

Same to you, and all: happy holidays!
Thank you all, Bryen M Yunashko

Excellent point. Thanks Jos. And I'd like to add to this by saying that for those of you who believe you absolutely cannot make it to the event (wherever it will be held), you can still do your part by going to the wikipage and adding agenda topics you think we should be focusing on. You're still a team member and your input is valuable. Helping to build this agenda in a team way will help to ensure that we focus on the things we all feel are important and give us the focus we need. Thanks again everyone!

first of all, I hate what u doing here talking in an other thread about an other thing! You should make a decision where, I mean psankar need a visa and thats not so easy for the indian guys, thats why he wrote later is better. For myself if u come on the idea to make it in US, then I am sure I need travel support same I think for Bruno I dont think he pays then, the travel costs self! And btw. I would need a passport for US that take me 2 months or faster I have to pay more and get a green one and then I need a visa. br gnokii

- As a hackfest is a collaboration event, they are indeed related topics. - Jos and I have already discussed directly with PSankar the issue of visas from India and looking at ways we can help him with the visa. We know it is not an easy challenge and all of that is being taken into consideration. - As stated multiple times, nothing is final yet. We need first to know who is interested in participating in the hackfest period, and then we, as a team, can explore how dates work best for the most people and the location that is ideal. Europe has been proposed, United States has been proposed, and possibly other locations will be proposed before the team, as a whole, decides where to go. - While I understand you and others have some time limits for obtaining a passport, that is something that we are going to keep in mind. Regarding visas, Europeans do not need a visa in order to visit the United States, for 90 days or less. so you don't need to worry about that for yourself. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html#countries Obviously I cannot tell you what to do about passport applications. My feeling is that its always good to have a passport handy to make future events more possible. Let's face it, we're in the open source world and there's always something coming up that gives us an opportunity to travel outside of our boundaries. Having a passport, which usually is valid for up to 10 years, makes this easier for future needs.
