[opensuse-marketing] Origami?
Just out of curiosity, has anyone made the origami geeko ( http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_materials#Booth_Things http://tora-no-andoresu.deviantart.com/#/d2qzgto ) with a smaller foil before ( http://amzn.com/B003MAOCEA ) ? I think origami is a fun way for kids to understand open source; they can see the how of the toy, not just the what, and even make/remake/alter it themselves. - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
We made some origami Geekos at some of the events we attended as Greek openSUSE community and it had great success and I am not talking only for the kids... ;-) Maybe it would be a good idea to make some in Scale and all of us see the peoples reaction. I will bring along my Geeko-usb (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11712634/100906_123913.jpg) and definitely I could make some origami Geekos to bring along too.

I'd love to see a step-by-step video tutorial on this. Does anyone know how to create the geeko origami and willing to make a video about it? Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I tried and could make Origami Geeko with 10cm square paper, but the smaller the paper is, the more handicraft is needed. ;-) If you are as neat-handed as Japanese, I'm sure you can make it with 3.5inch square paper. :-D

http://goo.gl/SDLQH (800px jpg) The chameleons are on 3.5", 4.5" & 5 7/8" - he's not so successful at the smaller sizes (Tried to work on a curled up tail as well). The penguin, on the other hand, is quite successful at both 3.5" & 4.5". Maybe its a metaphor for Linux fitting on embedded devices, but openSUSE staying on the desktop/laptop ;-). Gonna give it another go with a rectangular pattern I found - should give me much more tail to work with; just need to find the right paper in town now... - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
