Hi,

There have been multiple mails of the nature included below, by
several people, in the past couple of days. I initially considered
them errors in list subscribe attempts, until I received one from my
own ID. Mine for example, got generated with absolutely no action from
my side. Is this a ML error issue, or am I missing something? Sorry
for top posting, but this is not even a reply to a thread, so I didn't
know where to put it.

I have attached a copy of the actual mail I received for your use.
Anyone know what this is?

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Regarding launch parties wiki

[Tony Su]

Looks Cool.

I thought I might go ahead and create a Wiki entry "reporting" on my
local Launch Event.

After clicking on the "Create a Page" link and being confronted with
all those guidelines which have  to do with actually creating
a page and looking around a little bit more I decided it's not worth
the effort to root out exactly what I'm looking for (basic links to
create or a specific cookbook list of steps).

Count me as just another one grousing about how unusable the Wiki is...

BTW - That entry for the Greek Thessaloniki launch looks good, if the
Wiki could ever be considered usable I'd hope that it could be used as
a template for other contributions to apply a consistent look.

Re: [opensuse-marketing] ambassador reports

[Tony Su]

Yesterday I also took my first spin through Connect and my initial
impression is that it only can provide a partial solution, sort of
like a clone of Linkedin, not quite but possibly can be used like
Meetup.

As others have noted, Connect isn't a single centralized, authorized
"portal" type tool to do "everything" like what we need.

Until I can fully investigate currently available tools and options,
I'd recommend for now simply using Google Docs and Sites as a
temporary solution with Bryen's and Jos' approval. A private Docs and
Website can be created (I'll do it if needed), which would then be
accessible by any participant who has a Google Account (eg Gmail).
There is a 100mb storage limit when this is setup on a free Google
account.

I wouldn't consider Google Apps as a complete Customer Relations
Management type app (Hey, I wonder if SugarCRM would be an ideal
solution), but I think that it could be a short term solution that
everyone can work easily without a steep learning curve.

Informal poll -- If people can note whether they have any previous
experience with SugarCRM, pls message me privately if not to the List.

Jos here in Greece we use the opensuse-el for ambassador things(which
is in the openSUSE infrastructure)  , in rare cases that we need to
talk only the ambassadors(a rare thing and happened only once or twise
so far) we just CC all the ambassadors in a simple mail.
Generally I am not against on doing local ambassador lists but so  far
at least here in Greece we find no reason to add another ML.

I think that the base of your proposal is to support and deploy(not
sure if is the correct word) local communities and I am 100% with you
on that since I truly believe that strong local communities can really
give the global community the strength to grow even more and make a
better stand to the global FOSS community. What we must all be careful
though is while planning and discussing how to do that,to try not to
make things too complicated for the people.
 I would be very interested to hear Nelsons opinion about all that
since he is starting also a local community and he probably examines
all those carefully too.
That's it for now

I've been trying to use Connect a little, but not much seems to be
happening there. I think it's a great idea but not quite working yet.
Though I was thinking of starting an Australian group there was a way
to connect with Aussie Ambassador and users.

What about just using a blog/planet for Ambassador reports? People
just blog in their own language, english if they can, so local people
can read the report or we can use Google translate those who have no
English. Some sort of aggregate feed would make it easy for News team
to pull the most interesting reports for a monthly roundup of
Ambassador activity for those who haven't already reported major
events.

I noticed Michael Meeks has a blog where he comments just in a simple
line about what he has been doing work-wise, and I think that sort of
simple activity report can be quite good - interesting to see what
people are doing, without expecting an essay.

(I agree JDD, filling out a form, writing a report is time consuming
and boring!)

Looks like we should organize this properly :D

I know in the last few years some openSUSE people have organized 
attendance to Linuxtag, I guess we should make sure all openSUSE people 
end up in the same hotel (or we rent some appartments?) etcetera.

I will add my name, if everyone who wants to go can do that, we know how 
much space we need. And we can then arrange for a single location for 
all of us, SUSE employees and volunteers. Good idea? That also means 
that the SUSE ppl also have to put their names in this wiki page or they 
have to sleep under a bridge ;-)

yes, probably, but for now connect is not user friendly (I just come
from it), don't compare to facebook, for example (I know...).

by the way, making report have little interest. I don't know for the
others, but I do bimonthly meetings in my LUG and promote openSUSE
nearly each time, spreading dvd's. I wont report each.

What should probably be more important is ambassadors physical sharing.

The only real interest of the ambassador programm is to have local
ativity. Being alone is very difficult, specially if you have friends
with other distros :-).

Being able to meet, at least sometime, is very friendly

For example I was very glad to meet Vincent in Toulouse, even if it
was for 2 minutes shaking hands :-).

so connect should allow us to meet easier. May be a map (there is one
on the wiki)?

This is also good for dvd sharing.

[opensuse-marketing] ambassador reports

[Jos Poortvliet]

Hi boosters,

The marketing team has been brainstorming on how to give ambassadors a 
tad more attention in openSUSE; motivate them to make a bit more noise; 
and reward them for what they do.

Now we have a few ideas, but for one, we thought it might make sense to 
use connect. Yes, it could probably be done via the wiki and other ways 
but I know you guys have a hammer and might see this as a nail :D

*what is the problem*
the ambassadors _sometimes_ create event reports. We want those reports 
for several reasons:
- to have an idea of what they are doing
- to measure how much we do
- to motivate others
- to SHOW what we do

Unfortunately, not so many event reports are made although we're fairly 
sure many events have openSUSE attendance. This is due to several 
issues. *First*, not all ambassadors are so connected to us - many are 
not 'official ambassador' or their English skills are minimal and they 
are not internationally involved. I will send a follow-up mail with 
ideas on how to solve that.
*Second*, filling in an event report on the wiki is not exactly easy for 
many. Some send one by mail - which is fine but leaves little record.
*Third*, the reports receive little visibility. They are mentioned 
somewhere in the weekly news if you're lucky and of course on the 
marketing ML, but that's it pretty much. Numbers in it are not saved, we 
don't realy do anything with it as there is no real easy record.

*The solution?*
Ideally, the reports would end up in a central place, some database... 
And ideally, they would be connected to the ambassadors - so they can 
build up a trackrecord of events they have visited. Once we have this we 
can also show reports on eg news.o.o in a feed box on the side for 
example, or on our homepage. We can analyze and use statistics (for 
promo), promote events, do monthly articles - all kinds of things.

We have an events page on en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassador_events 
which suffers from similar issues - most people don't create a page 
because it is not easy and not localized.

*connect.o.o*
In short. We wonder - would Connect not offer a much better way of 
handeling events, event reports and the like? Would it not offer a 
better place for ambassador user accounts (with associated event reports 
as track records)? Culd it offer an easy place for ambassadors to add 
info for an event and afterwards add a report & pictures which we can 
then display in the planet feed (localized, if needed)?

In case you think this is relevant, chuck and manu might have some time 
to help with this both in 'how to do it' (I would also love to think 
abou that) and the doing itself.

Cheers,
Jos

Can you elaborate on what you expect from the Boosters? I would like to
understand what we can do for you but the mail was not very specific
about that. Let's get down to business! :)

[opensuse-marketing] ambassador program

[Jos Poortvliet]

Hey marketing team,

Based on our IRC discussion yesterday a more extensive proposal, 
connected to the mail I just send to the boosters with you in CC:

Our ambassadors are often local (many don't even speak English, or 
barely); so what we do with/for them has to be translatable, easy to 
read or in their hands. They often spend not a huge amount of time on 
openSUSE; so what we do for/with them should not take much time. And the 
fact they are ambassador gives them some credibility; so we should make 
that clear.

Currently, we have an ambassador mailinglist. Some ambassadors are on 
there; many are not (like most of the active people in Brazil or Greece 
- despite those countries being among the most active for us, as far as 
we know). They usually have a local mailinglist (not on openSUSE 
infrastructure) which they use for planning and discussing.

First, I would like to propose to bring such mailinglists to openSUSE 
infrastructure. That means - let ambassadors ask for a language/region 
specific mailinglist. Not too many rules, if they feel they need one for 
something, give it. But there should be one limitation: at least one or 
two active people on that list should be on the international ambassador 
mailinglist; and we need a one-way, moderated mailinglist to reach ALL 
ambassador lists at once for things that concern everybody.

Second, let them create a localized ambassador team page on the wiki (or 
on connect.opensuse.org, dunno what makes most sense). Actually, it'd be 
great if they had an English page which is translated - so each team 
(the Greek team, Brazil team etc) has a page on the wiki; and it is 
translated in their language(s). They can have links there to the 
mailinglist and the forum place they hang out, as well as their IRC 
channel(s).

This will allow countries/regions to build their own team. Yet, due to 
the requirement of having 1-2 ppl on the international list, we are 
connected.

Now we need to make sure there is communication as much as possible. The 
ambassadors should get the word out on what they do - that's what the 
ambassador report stuff is for, which I mailed to the Boosters team. I 
hope we can make that happen.

Cheers,
Jos

Thanks Bryen.

This page has been done 3 years or so ago and not used - and if it's properly 
written, it will make sending DVDs out a much smoother experience on my side.

Thanks for all the reviews I saw already,
