[opensuse-marketing] Discussion Notes from osc11

2011-09-23 Thread Robert Lihm
Hello Folks,

during the osc11 we had two discussions about openSUSE 12.1 Artwork and how to 
handle our git-repos for artwork in future.

Here you can check out the summaries I wrote together:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rQClArJNDzSENdHl49ul_WZw43qjbUM0Z19oIMkBk4U/edit?hl=de
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eQqM7vdVPAupjfmjKaJge4vFoUoIIKEjfVOjw3Kg69c/edit?hl=de

You can find them as well on my blog with some surrounding blabla :-)

Currently we focus on the on the Artwork of 12.1 and there is an ongoing thread 
on the opensuse-artwork ML, so feel free to join the discussion ... or ongoing 
voting (ends today at 1800h CET).

As soon as we have the 12.1 Artwork done, I take a look on the git-repo-issue.

Thank you and Have fun!

Robert

 I just wanted to add, that months ago I tried to bring up some
 discussion about vision and theme and was told 'don't talk about it,
 just do it'.  So the conversation more or less ended, and I didn't
 really follow any further discussion due to other commitments in the
 meantime.

That is sad and I'm sorry for that. The don't talk, just do! comment is 
really common and it's IMHO one of the top 5 creativity and creatives-community 
killers!

No discussion means no solid design! 

 
 Now someone has just done it and put time and effort into create
 nice artwork, and NOW you all want to add criticisms and say you don't
 like this or that.

 
 This is quite absurd.

We should take the criticisms like contributions for the 12.2 artwork.

The artwork Richard and Piotr made are really good for the scenario we have now!

On the other hand Will is absolutely right. We will not win a design-award for 
this. But that's ok, lets learn for the next cycle :-)

 There needs to be a clear artwork vision
 discussed well before release, outlines put forward of the look and
 theme that is wanted for the distribution/release, a list of what
 specific artworks are required.  THAT is when everyone can air their
 views. At this point of the process it should be minor tweaks and
 ajustments. But THAT would have required a DISCUSSION not 'just do
 it'.
 
 There is a difference between bikeshedding and planning. The project
 needs to consult with the creative members of the team and appoint an
 art team leader who has a clue about what is required for the
 components of the release, and then TRUST THEIR JUDGEMENT to guide the
 artwork production.  This needs to happen months before the release,
 not weeks.

+1000 :-)

We should start with the artwork-discussion for 12.2 directly after the release 
of 12.1. @Helen, would you volunteer to help me to set this up and make it a 
good productive thing? That would help me a lot :-)

Thank you for sharing you thoughts, you hit the point!

Robert

 I think they are absolutely beautiful, stunning work. I loved Nuno's
 shirt design and I think these are a delightful adaptation of that
 design. I have made the black one my background right now! The olive
 green one is lovely too - the variations in color look great on my
 monitor. The bright one *ouch* :P
 
 I like the idea of picking up our shirt design! And I finally like how
 Richard made it. I would go with the less bright green ... but that's a
 question of taste :-)
 
 I liked the shirt design, but it's what, 18 months old now?  And it is
 derived from what I call 'vegetative swirls' which are soo passé (check
 out the 2002 Garland lightshade in the 'Art and Design from the 2000s'
 collection at MOMA: http://bit.ly/o6nYRs) everywhere except free software
 graphic design. Jimmac introduced them (in a high quality execution) for
 11.2 in 2009, and I pointed this out then.
 
 We don't need objections now. We need alternatives or votes.

 Robert, I'd be glad to be involved. I'd put my openSUSE involvement on
 hold for some time; I need to keep it quite minimal but if we work
 together on planning and creation, I can be useful without overload.
 
 I'll look forward to discussing it with you a little later.
 

Cool! Let's call it a plan! :-)

Thank you!

 That's because it's just about impossible to find a good one in the

 GIT is HORRIBLE to find things on - I hate having to click through
 fifty different folders to find things, and there's hardly any jpgs or
 pngs, and I have to click before I can see what it looks like. It just
 makes no sense at all.
 
 Can we have the final artwork put on the WIKI and made easy to find
 please? One page with a graphical index.
 
 Fully agreed. I know Robert has a lot of stuff on his computer and I think I 
 want to have it in form of a big tar.bz2 and take it with me to the marketing 
 meeting. There we can sort through it and put it all online. ANYTHING we 
 create, for whatever purpose, should go on the wiki! Including sources!
 
 ;-)
 

I agree, that we need a solution for this. We also had a discussion about this 
on the openSUSE Conference ... something like Designhub would be cool. Finally 
tools like Git are a large barrier for pure artworker, we need something like a 
web-UI for Git ... a simple way to share, contribute and browse (search, *) the 
artwork.

How ever, I try to sort-out the stuff I have made and push the sources to the 
artwork git an png/jpgs in the wiki. But this will take a while.
@Jos/Helen: you need something special?

Cheers,

Robert

 Or else gather together some and email it to the list so I can have it
 ready to go on my hard drive.
 
 COPYRIGHTS - dister logo is from here http://susestudio.com/artwork/
 and I think is ok to use in this context as far as I can tell (ie,
 talking about Studio).
 
 My assumption with marketing materials is that they essentially belong
 to openSUSE.  I havent' followed the entirety of the current copyright
 discussion. Any writing I do for other markets (such as magazine
 articles) I'll clearly mark with a copyright notice
 
 So it's (cc) or (c)openSUSE as far as I'm concerned. (Jos??)
 
 Public domain as far as I am concerned, as free as possible at least :D
 CC by SA or so would probably do. We want ppl to USE this material!

 Thx Helen for take care of it, have more  more the feeling and others are 
 more the talkers here (and press others to work)
 
 So I can show the last 3 of the serie.
 
 
 The first one ist for Factory, if Tumbleweed happens then I should integrate 
 that there so it becomes a design like that of YaST. But still working on a 
 Tumbleweed logo.
 
 http://susepaste.org/30219482

The factory is pretty cool! You made that one? I would remove the truck/carrier 
and move the factory-sign on that position. IMHO it looks to full with both 
images. 

 
 The second shows, the flxibility that u with openSUSE have that kind was 
 requested via my personal blog.
 
 http://susepaste.org/56182122

Also cool! And I would drop the Server in the background. The swiss knife is 
perfect and enough. You know KISS and Less is More ;-)

Over all ... well done Dude! :-)

Cheers,

Robert

 
 
 and the last one is to help explain ur release cycles. If there would be an 
 LTS version I can simple change the calendar dates on it and so it becomes a 
 motif for that.
 I am still inhappy with the design, looks boring against the other motifes, 
 so 
 expermenting with regroup the calendars and such stuff.

 As I saw in the pad something about Bretzn, didnt a motif for that.

 As soon as you really bump into limitations (eg you have more than three
 good SVG designs etc) let me know. But initially, I prefer to start with
 just a few things, then do an announcement on news.opensuse.org about the
 re-vitalized shop and see if people like it. If they do order things, the
 number of SVG's you can upload will be increased, afaik, so we can grow
 organically.
 
 sorry Jos its actually no good idea to start with few things because for
 upload ur own motives u need a professional account on spreadshirt. Then u
 can upload every month 20 motives.
 
 But why would you? Can't we first put up a few good designs then see if ppl 
 like it or not?
 

+1

But isn't our current revenue hight enough to refinance the pro-acount?

R

 
 Of course - if the shop is popular enough at some point we can surely
 upgrade to pro.
 
 So there is no choice on the end as get an proffessional account, but that
 costs first money ;)

 Hello all ,
 
 Thanks Robert for the update. Ping anytime (one of us) in case you need

 About the shops : My experience with Myntra was not good, the product
 described is not exactly (100%) what they send.It differs in respect to
 quality and design .Also I am not sure if country specific stores will
 benefit or feasible.I guess Robert can answer that.Else , sounds good to
 me. *Spreadshirt +1
 
 I'd focus first on the existing spreadshirt shop and enhance here and
 wouldn't add any new shops for regions spreadshirt isn't shipping to.
 Each additional shop adds work.
 
 +1 . And how do you plan to enhance ? I feel that , we should
 upload/create few more designs . In other words , give users/public more
 options to choose from . I find the current state is really limited .
 Also we can add lot many other stuffs like Mugs , stickers , etc .
 Fully agreed.

+1

 
 In designs (for Sweatshirts and T-shirts)- we already have some good
 logo's . Things which we actually require are some real good
 slogans.Which would make the users feel good , wearing them- that said
 it should make them feel geeky and show the openSUSE (Gecko) love.
 
 
 Something like:  Geek by nature , Linux by choice - Re-phrase -- Geek
 by nature , openSUSE by choice.
 The above is just an example :) .
 In 2007 we had a slogan contest. The winner was:
 
 openSUSE - Linux for open minds
 
 Why not using that ?
 
 And this was the collection of slogans we received: 
 http://old-en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slogan
 


What about the /me ha fun! under the openSUSE logo? ;-)

How ever, one thing is, that we have just a basic account at Spreadshirt. This 
give us some limitations like we can upload only -not sure- 3 vector images. We 
can upload as many bitmap-images as we want, but this can be printed only on 
white background.
@michl: Maybe we should think about a pro account? It would bring many 
advantages like localised shops and so on.

Next thing is, that we need to summarise spreadhirts rules and our brand guide 
to a how to. So that people in the community can contribute artwork which work.

So far :-)

 Michael 
 
 Also we need to investigate more on the taste of the openSUSE lovers. I
 mean how or what actually they want to show their love towards openSUSE
 (through our shop-this , we need to figure out) . I hope I made myself
 clear ...
 
 What we do currently with spreadshirt is that we've chosen some items,
 gave them an openSUSE design and set our price tag.
 Our price tag, what dose this mean ?
 Spreadshirt sell their stuff at their price. Let's take a something which
 would cost 15 €/$ per unit. We add normally 1 or 2 €/$ and sell it then
 for more. This difference (1 or 2 €/$) then goes into our pockets. This
 our pockets is currently Novell as openSUSE isn't yet a legal entity.
 With an openSUSE Foundation we could redirect this income to the
 Foundation. And to give you a better picture - we're not talking about a
 high sales rate. So we sell with the two shops 30 items a month we have
 a good month.
 
 Nice! And more options make --- MORE SALE ;)
 
 Any other ideas are welcome .. :)

Hey all!

About the shop ... we use Spreadshirt [1] as provider and include the 
spreadshiert-shop via iframe into our website. The stuff running on shop.o.o is 
static html, so no voodoo :-)
I plan to move the stuff we have right now to the new Bento theme in the next 
time.

As far as I remember we have two shops at Spreadshirt. One for Americas and one 
for EU/Asia/Africa. But we don't cover all countries on this way because 
Spreadshirt is not shipping to e.g. most African countries. 

I have to look into the whole shop story again. Get the login data together and 
so on. 
If you have any questions just let me know, I will give my best to deliver good 
answers ;-)

Thank you and have a good time!

 1. The stuff will be printed and folded (!)  by a print house.
 
 Yes, I know (and have some experience with creating folded flyers [and 
 unfolded flyers and posters] using scribus ;-)
 
 2. The flyer is targeting people who already use Linux. It should
 gibe a brief overview about the project, etc. 
 
 The Free software page looks more like it is targeted to people not 
 using Linux yet ;-) (at least I assume/hope most Linux users have at 
 least heard about free software)
 
 Don't get me wrong - this is a good thing[tm] and makes the flyer also a 
 good introduction for people not using Linux yet. I don't really expect 
 they instantly start to use the build service, but maybe they'll start 
 to use the distribution ;-)
 
 The front page is good as it is. I would call it serious or clean
 instead of boring.
 
 ACK.
 
 2. Christian said it make the headlines in 5th leg
 
 As the flyer should be timeless and serious I decided to not use the
 Cholla Font (or 5th leg) in this case. Sure, its part of our
 branding, but I want to have a clear motion in the flyer and Cholla
 does not fit.
 
 A valid point and a good suggestion! Maybe we can use it next time
 more often.
 
 Hmm, sounds like you can't decide yourself *g*
 
 I would prefer Cholla/5th leg for the headlines. IMHO the flyer would 
 stil look serious (hey, Cholla is not Comic Sans ;-) and would match the 
 openSUSE branding much better.

Well, Cholla is IMHO pretty close to Comic Sans ;-)

However, as it seams that you are serious about this topic, here is a 
Cholla-Hedlined Version.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/opensuse/PR-Kit/oS-Project-Flyer-V5-Cholla-Proof2.pdf

 I'm ... OK with it :-)

 
 3. second page looks to empty
 
 You mean page 6  (flyer-back) which is green too? It's not good to
 fill every square-inch (or square-px in web design) with
 informations. Sorry, but i disagree with you in this case.
 
 I still suggest to add the openSUSE logo there (small, at the bottom). 
 Besides that: ACK
 
 Perhaps a minor thing: the lines should be at the same position 
 (measured from top) as on the Free software page (german: 
 Registerhaltigkeit). This basically means:
 - make the headlines (including free space) exactly as high as 
  n normal text lines (n to be defined by you, n = 3 lines might be a 
  good value)

I'm not sure if i get you right. Maybe we can talk about this in german on IRC?

I went through the paragraph spacing and found some cp mistakes. The font size 
is in general 10pt, the line height is 14pt. The paragraph spacing is 7pt.

 - use an empty line as paragraph delimter in the Discover it section
 
 for distro add LXDE  XFCE snapshots that should fill the page
 
 We have a KDE and a Gnome shot. That enough.
 
 ACK. (Maybe less overlapping and a bit bigger?)
 
BTW: Operating _S_ystem - should the s be lowercase?
 

As Operating System is a name like Build Service we keep it uppercase. I'mean, 
its OS not Os, isn't is? :-)

 However, the Operating system page looks very empty. I'd add a second 
 paragraph that lists some features of openSUSE (in a timeless way - 
 don't list any version number there ;-)
 
 http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Distribution has some good points in the
 What features does openSUSE offer you? section.
 
 I'm not the best in writing english marketing texts, but let me try:
 (based on Portal:Distribution text)
 
openSUSE has everything you need to do your work and play. Browse 
the web with Firefox, send email, write documents with 
OpenOffice.org, enjoy media with Banshee and Amarok, and much more.
 

I wrote me your suggestion down. But it's to late for text changes. We 
definitely need to discuss the content for the flyer much earlier next time. 
This time we had to hurry. Sorry. 

Thank you a lot for your feedback!

No openoffece. I would prefer something more neutral like EPS or SVG. Well, we

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Project-Flyer Feedback

2010-08-03 Thread Robert Lihm
Hello All!

As first, thank you for your feedback which was really helpful. The new version 
is now available here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/opensuse/PR-Kit/oS-Project-Flyer-V4b.pdf

We cut the text down, fixed the typos and added other screenshots.

Just to answer few of your questions:

1. The stuff will be printed and folded (!)  by a print house.
2. The flyer is targeting people who already use Linux. It should gibe a brief 
overview about the project, etc.
3. The green has a good contrast on white paper.
4. An URL-Shortener would be cool ;-)

Sorry for being brief, 'm a bit in hurry :-) 

Thank you!

Robert

 We currently work on a openSUSE PR-Kit which will contain a standard
 project flyer. The flyer give some basic informations about the
 openSUSE Project etc.
 
 Some findings in random order:
 
 - the green back side (aka page 1, middle column in the PDF) should 
  contain the openSUSE logo. Maybe small, at the bottom?
 
 - some linebreaks on this page are unfortune:
  - the link to Portal:Support should be in one line.
Idea: For help and support, check out ...
  - if possible, an-nouncement shouldn't be split to two lines
 
 - all headlines should be in Cholla / 5th leg
 
 - the Join the Project column has too much free space ;-)
  Does anyone have an idea what we could put there?
 
 - BTW: http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate is redirected to a 
  Portal: - please include the Portal: link
 
 - BTW 2: looks like we need an openSUSE URL shortener ;-)
 
 - The column Operating System starts with an explanation of the 
  project. That's somewhat unexpected and makes the headline misleading.
 
 - hmm, maybe that solves the question how to fill the middle column:
  - move the first half of the Operating system column to the middle 
column
  - headline of middle column: The openSUSE Project
  - sub-headline of the middle column: Join us!, followed by the 
current Join the Project text
  - and fill the left column with some more text or another screenshot.
 
 - page order: is it intentional that Free software is the first you 
  see when opening the flyer (aka a more prominent page)?
  - con: we waste a more prominent page with generic stuff.
I would place the distribution there.
  - pro: openSUSE wouldn't exist without free software
  - pro: it allows to have distribution/project/build service nearby
on the inner pages
  It's probably a matter of taste if the Free software page should be 
  moved or not.
 
 - image size and positioning: the stair-like positioning looks good, 
  but the build service screenshot is too high when compared to the left 
  and middle picture. 
  (The other question is if the positioning can be kept after applying 
  my proposals ;-)
 
 
 Spelling errors (at least those I found):
 
 - How to join us:
  - an-nou_cments should be an-nou_n_cements
 
 - Free software:
  - second paragraph, second line: an should be an_d_
  - please add an empty line above There are four theses
  - last line: to an better should be to a better (a/an is not 
followed by [aeiou])
 
 - spelling question: is Join the _P_roject really correct or should it 
  project be lowercase? (to be answered by a native english speaker)
  Same question for openSUSE _P_roject at multiple places.
 
 - related: case handling of all headlines should be equal. Currently 
  Free _s_oftware doesn't match the scheme.

Re: [opensuse-wiki] Skin for build.o.o - some little improvement needed

2007-11-29 Thread Robert Lihm

Hi,

On 29.11.2007, at 12:59, Rémy Marquis wrote:


Hi all,

First, thanks to Frank Sundermeyer (and all other contributors, of
course) for the nice new design for every part of opensuse.org. It's
looking really really nice :)



Thanx for this feedback :)


But I think that build.o.o needs some (little) improvements :



In general: The implementation of the current build.o.o skin is just a  
quick hack to have all o.o pages in a same look and feel.

We currently work on

1. an update of the CSS  HTML of all o.o pages (That will fix few bugs)
2. a redesign of the workflow (etc.) of the build-service web-client.  
We are going to do this public, so you everybody can participate.



- The logo's cell is misaligned with the left menu, there is a big
blank space between logo and the gray header Create it.
- The main menu box is different from en.o.o and d.o.o :

Get Software - vs - Download
openSUSE Wiki - vs -Wiki
Build Software - vs - Build Service




Is it possible to change b.o.o  labels to be the same as the wiki and
download page ?



Sure, it's possible ;)
You are right, they should be the same on all pages. I missed that  
they aren't the same.



And there is the same issue for community wiki (Get It and not Get
Software). But I think I need to contact Francis Gionnaros or another
member of opensuse-community's team to get it fixed...



I guess Francis is the right one.


Another thing about Community Wiki :
It would be really nice to add a 4th item in all sub-website in this
main menu : Community Wiki.

As the community wiki isn't officially linked with Novell because of
some legally issues, I don't know if this is possible.




Sorry if these issues were already discussed here. I've done a quick
search in archives, but found nothing similar :)

Btw, I'm a -noemail suscriber on mailinglist, as i'm most a reader
than a writer here (this is my first mail on mailinglist here ^^), so
i'm not able to answer correctly in the thread.

Best regards,

Rémy

I think, Quanta+ is like Dreamweaver. To be honest, I think WYSIWYG  
editors are just useable in small web projects with out any programming.
They are not bed for _designers_ to get in touch with HTML (etc.), but  
not more.


I recommend:

* VIM (e.g. GVIM)
* Emacs
* BlueFish.
* Quanta+
* Komodo Edit (http://www.activestate.com/store/productdetail.aspx?prdGuid=20f4ed15-6684-4118-a78b-d37ff4058c5f

On OS X I would recommend TextMate (http://macromates.com/). It's a

Yeah gvim is my No.1 choice for my years of web development career.  
But
after having enough touch with people doing different kinds of jobs

living different life style, I am now able to try think user
requirements from a lot of different angels. I know what she needs, it
is /not/ a text editor. Think about a soho web designer drink coffee
with his customer when finishing a business, the customer is a tailor
who run macrobusiness. The designer can drag and drop a piece to  
form a
picture and ask the customer do you prefer this color and that  
shape? He

also open gallery to help customer to choose a good background image
from www.sxc.hu. If he does all these with a text editor, the customer
have already finished several cups and gets either distracted or  
annoyed

by a lot of magic code. The small web site designer simple cannot
compete with those who use dreamweaver. These small customers are not
the IT manager who draw grant charts and make table of deliverables
before starting of a project. To do small web design business you can
hardly go without a graphical designer. It's not only a lazy way to
avoid learning HTML/CSS.

Yes, that's my experience, too. And that's why Dreamweaver is the de  
facto standard in all the media agencies! Normally the job of a  
designer is talking, scratching, pushing pixels (cooking  drinking  
coffee) ... well designing and not coding.

Knowing to much about code can easily kills your creativity!

I wish her a lot of luck and not so many stu*** clients ;)

all is a question on page content. The help domain page content may

there are two different things: pages content and indexes.

pages contents are manual, LfL, wiki, novell data base, sdb, mailins  
lists, forums, news groups, IRC...


indexes are : wiki front page, wiki categories, wiki portals, wiki  
inexes, help domain, build search, wiki search, google...


of course the list is not complete.

we can share as many indexes as we can maintain, each will please a  
given group of users


but we should not use too many page contents, because the real info  
is there and it's extremely difficult to sync several similar pages


jdd




In general, we should differ between help/support for 'advanced users'/ 
experts and newbies. These two groups need different help in a  
different way! Currently we serve just the expert, what is bad!
help.o.o is AFAIK just a hlep-page for How to get help. That is a  
good fist step :)


Take a look on Apples-Suppot Pages. They are not perfect! But they  
have some interesting ideas too.


About the openSUSE-Box. The idea behind the box is, that all o.o  
pages are listed there. And I don't think, that they should be  
localised, because ... imagine that you end up as a Czech on a ... e.g  
Japanese openSUSE-Wiki Page where everything -including the openSUSE  
Box- is localised. You are lost :)


So, as I wrote before, I will add the other o.o-pages to these box as  
soon as possible.


The front-page needs to be reviewed. Till I do this the http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/7370/help1le5.png 
 draft shows more or less what I had in mind in my last post. I'm  
going to do this ASAP, too. That's IMHO a valid workaround.

That would be a good workaround for a while.

Yes , we will do this. That is, what the box is for :)

Right, the  software.o.o page should point to the videos.  I add it to

I think, a simple Wiki-Page + HowTo would be enough for the moment.

In future we could display the videos on a layer, overlaying the

Hi,

For several releases now people haven't been able to find the

straight away (see news.o.o comments). I think it might be a  
good idea

to have a link to them on the s.o.o page. Any thoughts?


The Live CD links are missing too.


Francis, both suggestions make a lot of sense to me. Could you  
please push

them into Bugzilla and assign the bug to Robert Lihm?



Sure: Bug 326783 Submitted.



K, I take a look on it on Monday.


Kind thoughts,

I looked at http://www.opensuse.org and did not see any source that
has

!--

// window.onload = document.lang_form.reset();

// window.onload = alert('Fuck it');

function jumpMenu(targ,selectedObject,restore){

eval(targ+.location='+selectedObject.options 
[selectedObject.selectedIndex].value+');

  if (restore) selectedObject.selectedIndex=0;
}

What am I doing wrong? Why am I not able to view the same source?

Hi,
thanks to your great feedback (a special thanks to Christian

At the moment I know of only one open issue:
- the logo display when using very small font sizes in Gecko/ 
KHTML   browsers (not sure whether this is resolvable at all)

BTW: An RC1 for download.opensuse.org will follow ASAP.


very nice.

may be for a future skin, but I don't know how it's possible in  
Mediawiki, PmWiki triad skin have a switch for visually impaired  
people


here in french

setview=standardsetfontsize=90

in english:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/TriadSkin
(look at the buttons big view,text size)

we _have_ to think a lot at such solutions, computers are often a  
salvation for such people (We have an impaired center near our LUG  
and many visually impaired people with us)




I absolutely agree. Accessibility is a very important point!
We should implement something like this in future (future != 'when we  
have nothing else to do' ;-).

That  should not be so hard.

I would second this. IMO the current green is too dark to be used

About the different greens ... I know, they do not fit together and I 
´m looking for a alternative green. The original SUSE Green is to  
bright and dominant.

I let you know if I find one ... and ´m open for suggestions :)

Hi guys!

first of all, thank you for your nice and helpful suggestions!

After your suggestions, some discussions with my designer-colleague  
and some sleepless nights :) ...


... here is a new draft:

http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/9/91/Wiki_mockup.jpg

Please take a look at my drafts for the other sections on http:// 
en.opensuse.org/User:Rlihm
As the layout was already approved by openSUSE and Novell marketing  
we could start with the redesign in the next days/weeks.


I´m looking forward for your comments!

Take care!

I noticed the sponsor line at the bottom of the frontpage.

Is that really true?

Having other sponsors than Novell (and so well known ones) is a  
great news and may enhance the independance of openSUSE (even if  
Novell is still proeminent :-)




Sorry, the logos are just for demonstration. My mistake. I already  
removed them. But soon you will find there real sponsors ;)

* don't you plan to use the big empty place on top (under the
