[opensuse-marketing] finishing the OBS article
Hi all, So the first article to promote our conference is almost done. Again many points to Helen for the great work she did. Any last input you have - go to http://piratepad.net/DWALeHTOnL and add it please! It needs a good conclusion, so anyone who feels he/she can add something at the end after reading through the article, PLEASE do so! *** Considering how many peeps are on this list I wonder why there weren't more contributions? Ya'll don't like writing, or don't have time? Or do you feel you can't contribute? Cuz if it's the latter, please understand that 1000 monkeys behind a typewriter can write shakespeare's euvre in 1000 years - so even if we're not all perfect, we should be able to write good articles together ;-) Seriously, just add, just brainstorm - others will go through and change and improve until it is ready to be published. It is difficult to START writing something - so a braindump already helps a lot. Fixing things up - that's easy. So as I said, the OBS article is mostly done. Helen started a brainstorm on the next one: the community track. Think about helping out! It is here: http://piratepad.net/DdlhrMVV5a And we have more tracks - anyone can set up one of those, it's very easy. I created a template page with some info here: http://piratepad.net/eCBfhJKr7C It is essentially a how-to on setting up an article. Think about it if you have some time! Cheers and tnx all, Jos

One more thing: translations! These articles, once done, might be interesting for our ambassadors to translate for their local countries. I am also contacting linux magazines and websites to publish them. We can ask our ambassadors to try and get the articles on the local websites in their country/area too! What'd ya think and how'd ya help?
Jos, translations is a good point let the Portuguese translations in my plate. Also I'm contacting Linux Magazine Brazilian editors and friends that are responsible for www.vivaolinux.com.br, http://br-linux.org/ and http://www.susebr.org/forum/ to share these materials with them and spread the message in Portuguese language.. For Ambassadors to have this materials and interviews in native languages is very helpful, and I see the effect of your interview to OMG!SUSE! translated to Portuguese, wow I've never get so much visitors at my blog, awesome... Less than 48 hs more than 250 visitors. It's a new record for my blog ehehe thanks Jos and rtyler for let us publish that, for sure many guys here had appreciated. Best regards
