[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE distribution Versus the openSUSE project
First of all the title is a bit ironic. Well I started thinking about it after what I read on a previous marketing list post with subject "Wrong marketing OBS". So now I would like to discuss the parts of openSUSE project because I feel a bit confused about it and I believe I am not the only one. I mean as I know parts of the openSUSE project are the SUSE Studio, the openSUSE distribution, openSUSE LI-F-E and the OBS. -Is there something else?( I don't know if we can include Yast in all this) -When you make a search for openSUSE project in our wiki in order to find out what the openSUSE Project is you get that http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Project , where you read: The openSUSE project is a worldwide effort that promotes the use of Linux everywhere. openSUSE creates one of the world's best Linux distributions, working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner as part of the worldwide Free and Open Source Software community. Nowhere you read about the other parts of the project than the distribution,at list that is what I think except if I'm missing something and if I do is it enough? I recommend to talk about what should we find in an openSUSE project booth other than information about the distribution and organize teams to create that kind of information(at least for the parts we don't have) and material. I see people making great work in a variety of things around the openSUSE project (OBS,LI-F-E and more) but because of lack of promotion it gets behind and all we promote is the distribution. Well we are not Ubuntu(it is just an example due to its popularity, I don't mean anything else) and our goal should not be to become because I believe we are something different and better and the distribution is and should be a part of the whole idea around our project. Let us don't leave distribution choke the Project.

I normally speak about these pillars: * distribution * community * communication * tools Btw. we have no formal definition what an openSUSE sub-project is ;)

good idea. So, what do others would add for a large booth: First: * distribution * OBS (main part of tools) and SUSE Studio * community * communication Second - lower prio: * YaST * libzypp/zypper * openSUSE Education (LI-F-E) * openSUSE Medical

ok,but you still haven't told me what is the available promotional material about all this.

I don't know how this fits into the guidelines for artwork/branding in terms of current style, so cannot comment on that. But I LOVE this poster - so bright and clear, really nice layout and the graphic communicates the concept so well. It's eyecatching and works well to sell the idea of packaging across distros perfectly. Good stuff!!! What about matching banners and small graphics that people can use in web pages? I notice that often members use SUSE graphics in place of advertisements on their personal web pages. Perhaps some other places might be convinced to run it as an advertisement just to be nice :) Anyways, nice work Gnokii, you rock! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

The guidelines we have at the moment it fixes exactly, I used the colors from the palette and its really only a new poster in the style of jimmacs old ones. There isnt really one style and thats the problem. At moment I used jimmacs poster designs, whenever a ambassador came to me and asked for banner and such stuff.

When I have done the whole series, there exists some more of the "poster" right now as mockup 5 and I have some more in my head. So when they are all done, I can begin to create all the other stuff

Yes it look´s good, but I think YaST and Zypper are "First" projects like the distribution and the OBS and SUSE Studio. What´s a distribution without an good packet management or a good config-tool?
