[opensuse-marketing] FACTORY TUMBLEWEED EVERGREEN MOBILE - text needs YOUR input

Ok I've no idea what to write about Factory, Tumbleweed and Evergreen, and I'm not too sure about Mobile either. I need someone to at least find some key points to focus on for these. Searches aren't giving me much to work with so I need SOMEONE WHO KNOWS to write some ideas. Note that this is really an advertising pitch, NOT documentation - it doesn't have to have everything, just key fun facts or useful things to catch the reader's attention and make them want to know more. Please, if you know anything at all take ten minutes to jot down a few ideas. These texts need to be finished so that the posters can be ready in plenty of time for the conferences early the New Year. thanks Helen http://piratepad.net/VQM25U4GMy On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 8:10 PM, Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet@gmail.com> wrote:

I made some reasonable progress with the text today, organized them so they are in the order of the examples as posted by Gnokki, with headline, topic (for reference) and text below.
If someone could write something about Factory please? I'm clueless about that. Also Gnokii I wasn't sure what the topic of the people one was, I thought 'international' but not sure.
Also, I'm not too sure about a couple of the last images.
I also need someone to check the Yast text, it's not quite complete and I'm not sure what else to say abou that.
Some of the texts might seem a bit too short, in terms of not saying enough about the features, but we do need to keep them fairly brief I think.
If you think I need to talk about something else, please add it and I'll try to work it in.
Also please comment if you think any of the phrases need improvement, suggest alternatives, or if facts need correcting!
Awesome work. The ones that are left are a bit difficult, I couldn't really add much. Anyone who wants to try, add any thoughts you have on the items on the bottom which have no text yet - any ideas could be helpful so don't be afraid to add whatever comes up in your mind :D
thanks

Factory - be part of development . Help us test the next version of openSUSE, thats also a rolling release, there are snapshots the Milestones. Here is the main point to bring them to use it, it helps us with debugging. Tumbleweed - rolling release, no bigger update needed, software always up to date. Always the newest stuff. Evergreen - server variante with longer support, so far I see they plan for 3 years now. Make that as the last one until they are sure with it. Ideal for develop on it for smaller companies, ideal also for hoster. Think u can play with "The rain in spain" from My fair Lady -(It "greens" so green when Spain's blossoms bloom) in that text. Maybe headline like "Evergreen - It greens so green..." hope it helps a little bit br gnokii

Factory leads towards the next release. You can follow the future of openSUSE, we are an open community.
Tumbleweed - rolling release, no bigger update needed, software always up to date. Always the newest stuff.
yet stable ;-)
Evergreen - server variante with longer support, so far I see they plan for 3 years now. Make that as the last one until they are sure with it. Ideal for develop on it for smaller companies, ideal also for hoster. Think u can play with "The rain in spain" from My fair Lady -(It "greens" so green when Spain's blossoms bloom) in that text.

Evergreen is the openSUSE project for a Long Term Support distribution. It's aimed at the small/personal server administrators who can't afford or don't need the hight level the SLED Novell support provide. It's a new project, still in preliminary phase. As test bed, the Evergreen project choosed to work on the soon to be no more openSUSE maintained openSUSE 11.1. Evergreen seeks for volunteers to maintain server packages or test the patches. His communication channel is the evergreen mailing list (at present time evergreen@lists.rosenauer.org). Do *NOT* use this service on a critical production server! jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
