I'd like to do the cleanup of the ambassador list that we discussed in the summer and also at the openSUSE conference. We'd like to have every ambassador create a user page so that ambassadors can get contacted. You might have had one in the old wiki but with the move to the new wiki, you need to create a new one as described at: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/12/new-wiki-what-now/ I will go after the 1st of December through the list of ambassadors and remove those that do not have a user page. This way we will remove inactive ambassadors. If I remove somebody that wants to become active again, it's easy to add them again once the user page is created. I will try to email those ambassadors now that do not have a user page (if I can easily find an email address) with this text as well. I'm asking every ambassador to subscribe to the opensuse-ambassador mailing list as well for communication.

New subject: [opensuse-marketing] Have a lot of Fun - In the Logo!

The openSUSE-Project have the slogan "Have a lot of fun", haven´t it? I think the slogan should be in the logo. Maybe under the "openSUSE". If you open the picture I send with this mail, you see my idea. Yes, the logo is really little, but I think, their´s a good marketing team;) Regards kdl _____________________________________________________________________________ MfG Kim Leyendecker kimleyendecker@hotmail.de ------------------------------------------------------ World domination, fast - Linus Torvalds

Partly I agree with you, but partly don't. The slogan "Have a lot of fun!" should be much more spread to the world. However, we can combine the logo and the slogan as needed by now - that means, we can select the font, size, color and geometry of the slogan on a case-by-case basis. Don't you think it is much more flexible than 'static combined logo'? Creating a 'static combined logo' in addition to the normal logo might be an option. But in that case, we have to ask permission first. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_brand#Things_to_Avoid It is mentioned that 'Combine with other elements to form derivate logos' is 'Improper Logo Use'. # BTW, I think those rules are intended for third parties outside # openSUSE project/community and not appropriate for us when we want to # use the logo for promoting openSUSE and related efforts. Best, P.S. Kim, next time you want to post a new topic, please do not reply to an existing thread. ;-) -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.zaq.ne.jp/opensuse/ _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Yes and no. I'm very sensitive to text, and hate having text on absolutely everything - I'm always compelled to read it. openSUSE I start to see as a graphic, but reading 'have a lot of fun' all the time, I'd be compelled to change my wallpaper. Simple=good. IMHO. I'd prefer to see 'have a lot of fun' jotted in casual typeface, like grafiti across at an angle below the logo, and only used in some cases. (eg merchandise, optional wallpaper). interesting idea though, to make the slogan more well known is worthwhile. best Helen On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 5:57 AM, Kim Leyendecker wrote:

And (I forget) how would you deal with the i18n of this thing It's pretty impossible to get the same sense in french in a so short sentence. I'm pretty sure it's the same for German, what about the right to left language should we flip the geeko and those written top to bottom.

Well, German is easy: "Habt viel Spaß!" If you say it to somebody you know and you can you (german "Du") and "Haben Sie viel Spaß" if you... well that´s not easy to explain in English.

I agree with Bruno at the fun and the other use of f... part,also I agree with Helen at the graphic part,why don't you try to give a picture of people having fun instead of texting it? I still get nervous when I hear Ubuntu's "linux for human beings" and I think "Linux for the masses" or Fedora's "Fedora fails… and that’s a good thing!" and I think "oh yes?for whom?", I first heard this after trying to install Fedora 64 bit for a whole afternoon and failed because of a bug or something that existed for my processor.

Yeah he was talking about SUSE 6.4 that existed

there was never "Have a lot of fun" in the logo and "A Novell business" also only on to boxes it was written under the logo, but that means not it is included in the logo.

Also as SUSE there was under the logo not only on to the boxes,take a better look here (http://pcforum.hu/site.pc/text/quicknews/12264/suse-a-novell-business.jpg)

...

including more then openSUSE in the logo makes no sense no company includes a slogan in her logo.

and btw ur slogan isnt "Have a lot of fun"

He didn't said that our slogan is "Have a lot of fun" ,he said that he prefer this better than "A Novell business", but either way his mistake is that here we are talking about openSUSE and not SUSE and no I am not a lawyer I am a Seasonal firefighter (my real job)but there is no need to be so ironic,this is not the reason we are here for...

And (I forget) how would you deal with the i18n of this thing

It's pretty impossible to get the same sense in french in a so short sentence. I'm pretty sure it's the same for German, what about the right to left language should we flip the geeko and those written top to bottom.

Anyway for my opinion, the logo and just the mark is just good .

I'm very sensitive to text, and hate having text on absolutely everything - I'm always compelled to read it. openSUSE I start to see as a graphic, but reading 'have a lot of fun' all the time, I'd be compelled to change my wallpaper.

Simple=good. IMHO.

I'd prefer to see 'have a lot of fun' jotted in casual typeface, like grafiti across at an angle below the logo, and only used in some cases. (eg merchandise, optional wallpaper).

interesting idea though, to make the slogan more well known is worthwhile.

As an openSUSE user from 6.4 to 10.3 and now with 11.3 I prefer "Have a lot fun" than "A Novell business" - yes, for a time it was also on the logo.

interesting, u should be the only openSUSE user since 6.4 because that version never existed.

I think he meant SuSE Linux 6.4. It did existed, it has a green box, I got one of those :)

...

there was never "Have a lot of fun" in the logo and "A Novell business" also only on to boxes it was written under the logo, but that means not it is included in the logo.

including more then openSUSE in the logo makes no sense no company includes a slogan in her logo.

and btw ur slogan isnt "Have a lot of fun"

I still get nervous when I hear Ubuntu's "linux for human beings" and I think "Linux for the masses" or Fedora's "Fedora fails… and that’s a good thing!" and I think "oh yes?for whom?", I first heard this after trying to install Fedora 64 bit for a whole afternoon and failed because of a bug or something that existed for my processor. I believe you get my point ;-) Kostas

Well, German is easy: "Habt viel Spaß!" If you say it to somebody you know and you can you (german "Du") and "Haben Sie viel Spaß" if you... well that´s not easy to explain in English. On French it will be much difference than the English, I agree. My French is not so good, so I don´t can´t say what´s in French :(

AJ We are all done with Brazilian Ambassadors, and as I never get answers from André Luiz F. Mezzari and Paulo Sa, I believe you are ready go and take both out of the ambassadors list. CarlosRibeiro openSUSE Ambassador & Member Em Qua, 2010-11-10 às 10:46 +0100, Andreas Jaeger escreveu:

I'd like to do the cleanup of the ambassador list that we discussed in the summer and also at the openSUSE conference. We'd like to have every ambassador create a user page so that ambassadors can get contacted. You might have had one in the old wiki but with the move to the new wiki, you need to create a new one as described at: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/12/new-wiki-what-now/

I will go after the 1st of December through the list of ambassadors and remove those that do not have a user page. This way we will remove inactive ambassadors. If I remove somebody that wants to become active again, it's easy to add them again once the user page is created.

I will try to email those ambassadors now that do not have a user page (if I can easily find an email address) with this text as well.

I'm asking every ambassador to subscribe to the opensuse-ambassador mailing list as well for communication.
