[opensuse-project] Fwd: social media plan (draft)
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi, we can coordinate this through the marketing mailing list ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: social media plan (draft) Date: Monday, September 03, 2012, 02:41:24 PM From: Agustin Benito Bethencourt <abebe(a)suse.com> To: marketing(a)opensuse.org Hi, here is a proposal for the 12.2 release promo through social media: We described the general approach in this wiki page: Link: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan#General_approach Basically the idea is, like was suggested in the -project mailing list, to post the same contents at the same time in different channels in several languages in a semicoordinated way. We can begin with 5 messages/contents in each social media site. If we find enough people willing to help, maybe we can add a couple more per site. Having the Feature page, the Highlights page and the announcement (under development by Will Stephenson), we can use them to extract the content for the messages, or simply announce the most relevant points described on these wiki pages. We will need to add some screenshots and artwork, probably. If you have other ideas, feel free propose them. The announcement draft will be finish it today, so we have time tomorrow for translations. Max Lin is trying to ping translators. It would be great if we can also translate these messeges. Promo in mother tongues is way more effective.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE 12.2 Release follow up
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi, this is a short summary of where we are and what is still left to do for this release process: Done or in progress * Gold Master declared. * Feeding mirrors with the Gold Master and extra isos * Promo DVDs ordered * Press kit in progress. Will be done (extracted from the Action Plan) * Finish the Highlight page and the Release announcement. * Once the Highlight page and the Release announcement are done (Monday), we will add them to the wiki. We will do this. * We would like to publish this for release the announcement and, if possible, the highlight page, in several languages, so the impact is bigger in places where English is not the mother tongue. On Monday (probably late) we will point translators to these pages in English so they have Tuesday to translate. This is not optimal, but at least it is an improvement. We will have more time in the next release. Max Lin, our team member in Taiwan, will be the link for this task. If any of you want to coordinate this, that would be great. We will be very busy doing other things. * On Monday afternoon we will try to put some effort into the social media promotion of the release. We will discuss with you a plan so we are partially organize on this. Many of you usually do promo through different social media so we want to make sure we know who you are, you have the contens you need to promote openSUSE and we do not miss any relevant channel. It could be nice also to experiment on social media in different languages. It would be very valuable if those of you willing to do promotion on Wednesday and following days help us here, specially in channels like FB or twitter, where many of us can contribute. Any idea that we can include in the planning, prepare on Tuesday (or even before if do not involve this team) and execute it during the Release day and the following days will be more than welcome. There are many many cool ideas we can try. We just want to make sure the ones we all choose are doable, they are coordinated (at least partially) and, very important, we can track them, so we can learn from them. * On Wednesday we will do the actions needed to make everything public, following the Action Plan that is on the wiki. If nothing really unexpected happens, we will have a good Release on Wednesday at 12:00 UTC. I would like to thank the current and former members of openSUSE Team at SUSE (former Boosters) for their work the last few months to get to this point, to SUSE for its support but, above all, to you, that work with passion to make this project possible. Now....let's make some noise.

[opensuse-project] Beautiful 1-Click Installer
by Saurabh Sood 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

Hi, Google Summer of Code has come to an end, and I am pleased to announce that the new 1-Click Installer is ready for testing by the community. While still requiring some work, it is still quite nifty, and simplifies the installation to a great extent. I will be working on the remaining tasks involved, and it would be awesome if I get feedback and how I could make it better. I welcome all feedback on the installer, and hope to make it even better in the future. I also take this opportunity to thank the entire organisation for the opportunity to work on this project, and my mentors, Cornelius Schumacher and Matt Barringer for guiding me throughout the course of the programme. OBS Repository : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Asaurabhsood91&packag… Cheers, Saurabh Sood PS : I have not yet been able to handle the MIME types, so the application has to be run from the terminal, passing the ymp file as parameter. I will be working on this part soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
