Hi Raul, Not everyone reads Roman alphabets. The Japanese, Arabs and Chinese (like me) may prefer to read in their native language. No point handing out cards in a language the receiver may not understand. Just a thought.

[opensuse-marketing] Translating the Ambassador Page
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello Mates, first of all i would like to thank gabrielstein for translating the Page. Gnokii yesterday has created an Page in fr: http://fr.opensuse.org/Ambassadeur. If anyone of the frensh speaking Guys can translate the Page, it would be great. Then i think, we need an Translation for dutch and russian. So we had finished the biggest Languages (ex. Arabic). Maybe on of our Team can translate to one of them Languages. -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Ambassador (ZoneCoordinator Europe, Middle East and Africa) openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service openSUSE Features Screening Team Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com

There is GNU software in Solaris; it is not GNU/Solaris. There is Gnu software in AIX; it is not GNU/AIX. I am a purist. The kernel is the OS and everything else runs on the kernel. It is Linux. In our case it is openSUSE/Linux, NOT openSUSE/GNU/Linux. I am an openSUSE ambassador, not a GNU/Linux ambassador. That is a different mailing list. I have been on this mailing list for less than a week and 90% of the bandwidthe is consumed by this thread. Let it go. Go preach to a different choir, I know my relegion. Stop trying to convert me. If I wanted to prosteletize for Richard Stallman I woul be on a GNU mailling list. My two cents! K. R.

[opensuse-marketing]List of repositories
by Koushik Nundy 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Can I make a proposal? If there was a page on the openSUSE site, to list some of the popular repositories for openSUSE distros it would really be helpful for people. I know that the webpin has got several links to repos, but if a proper list was there, we could add repos, mirrors, etc we know of. This is because repos hosted close by are usually faster.(eg, our college GLUG server has a packman mirror, which is now under maintainence, so i'm not giving the link). Also people can set up their repository list on Yast more easily. -- Koushik Kumar Nundy B.Tech, ECE Final year Journalist, GNU/Linux Users' Group openSuse Ambassador NIT Durgapur India. http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in http://planet-india.randomink.org http://kknundy.blogspot.com http://en.opensuse.org/ http://twitter.com/kknundy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE @ FrOSCon 2009
by Jan Weber 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi @ll, during LinuxTag gnokii and me discussed the idea of having a community booth at FrOSCon 2009 (http://www.froscon.org/). We agreed that it would be great to participate in this event again, so I just send the request for a booth to the team of FrOSCon and I am pretty sure we can get one! Next thing is we need some helping hands that want to come to FrOSCon and help with the booth. So if you have some spare time during August 22 and 23 join us! Simply drop me a small note and add your name to the wiki: http://de.opensuse.org/Veranstaltungen/FrOSCon/2009 Cheers Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Ambassador Role
by Andrew Wafaa 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

This may come across as a bit of a rant, and I suppose it is in a way. There has been a fair few discussions recently about the new openSUSE Ambassadors with a primary focus on the creation of collatoral for the role, which I personally think is a waste of time and effort. The time and effort would best be spent on what resources are needed, organisation, implementation etc. As far as I was aware the Ambassador is effectively the same role as Ubuntu's LoCo Team Lead and Fedora's Ambassador; whose role is to organise the local openSUSE fathful, distribute openSUSE merchandise, be a contact point to assist with questions etc. Why on earth is there such a focus on collatoral? People who give talks on openSUSE or atttend events representing openSUSE do not need to be Ambassadors nor should they be! If people are signing up for the role just so they can add "Ambassador" to their signature then they should not be accepted. Personally I think only accepted members should be allowed to be Ambassadors. Reasoning behind this is 1) they have signed the guiding principles. 2) they have a proven contribution record. 3) they are known to the Board. 4) there needs to be some form of filtering the chaff from the wheat. Now point 4 may sound harsh, but it is needed especially as there is a high volume of Trolls around again (not just with openSUSE). The Ambassador would be an ideal point of contact for the Board to verify if an applicant has indeed been spreading openSUSE in a good & faithful manner etc. Now if people still want to create templates for presentations/twitter/business cards or whatever collatoral, then great, but for all that is holy drop the "Ambassador" part. Just make it a general item that anyone wishing to participate can use! </rant> Thanks for all the fish, Andy -- Sent from a Nokia E71 Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: FunkyPenguin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
