Feature changed by: Vincent Pfromm (Dr_Vince) Feature #311383, revision 5 Title: Add a short introduction movie to openSUSE in the welcome screen openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: ori rosen (orosen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When first logging on to openSUSE you are greeted with a small welcome screen with some useful links. However, for a new user with little computing experience (or one migrating from another OS), the user doesn't really know where to start. I suggest we add a short introductory clip, which can be activated from the welcome screen, to demonstrate simple and common activities in openSUSE. I imagine the clip to be in non-technical language, narrated by a talker with a pleasant voice, and with light music in the background. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Makes openSUSE friendlier to a new user. Discussion: #1: ori rosen (orosen) (2011-03-01 18:42:17) A possible clip in my opinion should contain the following: 1. Greet the user to openSUSE, and congratulate him on his choice :) 2. Very short explanation on what openSUSE is. 3. Show how to start Firefox, explain that this is an internet browsing application. 4. Show simple file operations, like moving, copying and deleting files, and browsing your hard drive with Dolphin. 5. Introduce the office suit (just show it exists, not how to use) 6. show how to shutdown/restart openSUSE. 7. Show the calculator. 8. Anything else? open to ideas. Overall it shouldn't be too long as to bore a user, ~1 minute in length sounds good to me. + #2: Vincent Pfromm (dr_vince) (2011-03-06 02:04:02) (reply to #1) + I like the idea. Maybe another thing to put in is a brief message about + how to find/access the many applications that openSUSE comes with. I'm + not sure of a specific need to point out the calculator. I think it + would be tough to fit it all in ~1 minute, but it's okay if it's a bit + longer, if they're new, they've just spent considerable time installing + it. 2 or 3 minutes won't be a deal-breaker. Of course it would have to + have the option of bypassing it. And it would have to be either + relatively generic or DE-specific(for KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc.., etc...) + I'm sure there would be no shortage of volunteers, but I've been told I + have a soothing voice and would be glad to voice it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311383
