[opensuse-marketing] What would you say about openSUSE at FOSDEM?
Posted here: http://zonker.opensuse.org/2009/01/27/what-would-you-say-about-opensuse-at-f... Interested in feedback for the presentation I'll be doing at FOSDEM - what would you like to know about openSUSE if you were in the audience? What would you want to say if you were giving the presentation? I'd like to build a presentation that will be something anyone can give, so it'll be going up on the openSUSE wiki (with notes) for long term use. Suggestions welcome. Hope to have the first cut up on the wiki by the weekend.

I think the FOSDEM crowd is different from the crowds you'll find pretty much anywhere else. I think they're pretty much all very technical long time users of free software. So it might be difficult to use the same template for the FOSDEM crowd as other situations.
Suggestions welcome. Hope to have the first cut up on the wiki by the weekend.
Some myths/topics that I'd address (if presenting to "normal" end-users I'd prolly emphasize different topics): * some basic stuff about the project - mailinglists, irc, wiki, bugzilla, openfate, contrib, news.o.o, planetsuse.org, membership perks, guiding principles * openSUSE is very free software friendly these days (yast gpl'ed, dvd gpl'ed, liberation fonts, no blobs in kernel pushed by the distro, openjdk etc.) * openSUSE/Novell is a major driver of free software innovation with many devs on different projects - KDE, OOo, GNOME, RadeonHD etc. * package management is no longer extremely slow, nor completely screwed up in imaginative ways, like it was sometimes in the past * YaST2 is not just package management - it's also tons of other modules with ncurses too - easy. flexible and powerful. * openSUSE still has the best KDE "service" in the world - regardless what Novell marketing and announcements in the past may have implied * openSUSE is not just about desktop, it's also great for servers (SLES base, text mode installation available on dvd/netinstall) * some stuff about the OBS - especially the ability to build for other distros too. * openSUSE is not a Microsoft pawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Hi, Maybe it's the right time to mention some cost economies: * Power saving - supported by newer processors * Virtualization (VirtualBox, XEN, ...) that can minimize the needs for a real hardware (machines for testing?) * Scalability (tones of processors, RAM, ...) * ... hmm :) something similar?
