Hah, that's me, a bad old habit from the old days of SuSE :) I've corrected the misspellings, I hope you guys can forgive me :) I guess I should take the opportunity to talk about OMG! SUSE! in general and ask for advice/opinion/criticisms/cookies/etc I've been working on the concept with "d0od" the chap behind OMG! UBUNTU! (http://omgubuntu.co.ul), a very popular Ubuntu users weblog. Being an avid openSUSE user, I wanted to start working on an equivalent for the openSUSE community. The rough concept is: a user-focused blog for openSUSE. My goal is to cover new releases, changes, package updates, etc from an openSUSE user's perspective (trying to avoid getting technical). Of course, the gratuitous showing off of openSUSE eye candy is a must as well :) As somebody pointed out in the comments on the first post [1], OMG! UBUNTU! and Ubuntu in general don't do KDE justice so there's also an opportunity to cover KDE desktop environments changes (by way of openSUSE) as well as XFCE and LXDE developments. Any thoughts or suggestions? I am by no means a "marketer", I just love openSUSE as a comprehensive desktop and enjoy writing, so here I am :) [1] http://omgsuse.com/content/welcome-omg-suse Cheers, -R.

Congrats for launching it! It looks like a good addition

I noticed you're not on Planet openSUSE (http://planet.opensuse.org), would it make sense to aggregate it? How does your blog relate to what the weekly team does? I see some overlap there - which could also be a chance of working together...

I'm not entirely sure, planets are typically composed of individual contributors' blogs and to be honest, I'm not "contributing" really. The audiences of planets in my experience are typically other contributors to the project, so I'm not sure if OMG! SUSE! will be interesting to packagers/developers/documenters/etc as they're not my target audience.
How does your blog relate to what the weekly team does? I see some overlap there - which could also be a chance of working together...
I'm following what the weekly team does quite closely, there are bits and pieces of the weekly news posts that are good starting points for some posts, but the question falls back on focus and audience. To be honest I'm not going to be able to have my eyes and ears as close to the project like the weekly team is, but what I can do is build on some of those bullet points and inform users about it. The #131 "Security Updates" section is a good example, a listing of SAs might be useful to you, me, or other contributors, but IMHO its not as end-user digestable, whereas "HAY! Your Firefox is broked, update it!" ;) How I've been thinking about this in my head is the weekly team does a good job of saying: "Here's what's up in openSUSE". I view OMG! SUSE! then as: "Here's how the goings on in openSUSE affect you" (you being the user, not Andreas at Novell ;))

A bit of a late response, but I do want to say two things here: - first of all, the work you do on omgsuse.com IS a great marketing contribution to openSUSE. Consider yourself part of the team ;-) - Second, the planet is read by many more than 'just contributors'. Loads of users are following it, same with journalists.

...and I think that's an excellent angle. You'll probably quickly build a big following, I bet ;-)
