[opensuse-marketing] GSOC poster for conferences etc
by Jos Poortvliet 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Heya all, You might have read that GSOC 2012 is going to happen again: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/02/29/opensuse-gsoc-2012/ We need to tell students that they need to be HERE, with US! So we need a nice GSOC poster. Now google has made artwork for GSOC 2012: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Z4BTG1iJDs/TyG9uyApFrI/AAAAAAAAAhY/raFJlaZqdes/s… I slapped a geeko on it but that's of course not good enough :D So, who can design some poster which can be used at conferences and universities to get students into GSOC 2012? I was thinking about taking google's image on the bottom of a poster, adding the blue on top and having some text there, see my crazy drawing here: http://susepaste.org/13964893 Something like that... I've uploaded it to github just so you have something as a starter :D BTW we still need a text for on this poster, too: http://susepaste.org/71297168 ideas? Love, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Merging marketing to -project mailing liste
by Bruno Friedmann 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

To achieve somewhat our effort to consolidate communication, you certainly remember the fact that we want to merge some of mailing lists. I've seen a lot of cross-posting between here and project, and most of our actions need also more people involved. Beside the fact that will avoid cross-posting, and so minimize the number of replicated messages you & I can receive and then need to read/archive/reply/delete and so free some of our precious time. I would propose then that when we need a specific topic for our workgroup we just add [marketing] tag on the subject line. So I open a poll on connect to know what we want to do http://goo.gl/9hcYp Please vote before 1st March Thanks -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] [Fwd: GNOME.Asia 2012 Official Announcement]
by Bryen M Yunashko 02 Mar '12

Passing along an FYI for anyone interested. Bryen -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Brian Cameron <brian.cameron(a)oracle.com> To: foundation-list <foundation-list(a)gnome.org>, asia-summit-list <asia-summit-list(a)gnome.org>, developing-world-list(a)gnome.org, gnome-cn-list(a)gnome.org, gugmasters-list <gugmasters-list(a)gnome.org> Subject: GNOME.Asia 2012 Official Announcement Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:38:33 -0600 Hosting GNOME.Asia 2012 June 9-15, 2012 Hong Kong It is with great pleasure that we announce that Hong Kong has been selected as the venue of our upcoming GNOME.Asia 2012. GNOME.Asia 2012 follows the release of GNOME 3.4, helping to bring new desktop paradigms that facilitate user interaction in the computing world. It will be a great place to celebrate and explore the many new features and enhancements to the groundbreaking GNOME 3 release and to help make GNOME as successful as possible. Hong Kong is well known for being one of the largest cities in Asia, with a thriving cultural scene, solid infrastructure, and robust public transportation system. Many countries have a visa-free period for travel with Hong Kong and the city has well integrated international connections. We believe that hosting the event in Hong Kong will bring the spotlight on GNOME and make an impact locally, regionally and internationally in terms of business and community building. Aside from being a business capital, Hong Kong is also well known as a tourist destination that is famous for its food, shopping and many attractions. Potential sites for the conference are the Breakthrough Youth Village Campsite and City University of Hong Kong, and reasonable rates for accommodations have been arranged. We are currently evaluating the best possible dates for the event, and should be able to announce it within the coming week. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the GNOME.Asia 2012 bidding process, especially the great work from Team GNOME Hong Kong and Team GNOME Indonesia. We look forward to working with you more in the future!
