By now, many of you know that our recommendation to change openSUSE Build Service to Open Build Service. This is a great moment for us as this will now help us to further promote the awesome benefits that OBS provides to the FOSS world.
Read the announcemens here: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/05/26/opensuse-renames-obs/ http://www.novell.com/prblogs/?p=3787 Several of us have worked on getting things ready for the new name. Already some press have picked up on the news and we're hoping it brings in more eyes to our wonderful openSUSE Project. Things to do: - Clean up Wiki - We need to continue to sort through our wiki pages and change any text that refers to "openSUSE Build Service" to "Open Build Service". Please help us out by going to [1] and edit any pages you find. Many pages have already been cleaned up, but the more people help, the quicker we will inish everything. - Update our materials - We need to clean up any marketing materials we have. Examples are slide presentations, print materials, flyers etc. Change names and links where appropriate. - Get familiarized! -- Visit the new openbuildservice.org website and get to know it. - Review Talking Points -- As the whole point of the name change was to increase awareness that OBS isn't just for openSUSE, let's make sure our talking points highlight the many benefits that folks outside of openSUSE can gain from using OBS - Training -- I believe this is an idea that Chuck had recently. We should develop at least basic training to our ambassadors and marketers about how to use and understand OBS so that we can answer questions with more knowledge when we meet people out there. So jump in and let's keep the momentum rolling! Thanks folks!
