Re: [opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Magazine
I for one am heartened by terrorpup's and jdd's pro-community spirit in their replies to this email thread. Thank you Terrorpup and jdd for encouraging productive action in a cooperative spirit. After all, the whole point of a community is to work together. On several occasions this past year our community has seemed quick to delve into the Survivor model wanting to harshly vote others off the island. Yet as a community we advertise that we espouse the openSUSE guiding principles of working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner. A timely quote from Booker T. Washington crossed my desk this morning, There are two ways of exerting ones strength; one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. 2012 will soon be upon us. Ringing in the new year traditionally brings a spirit of newness and invites everyone to set new goals and aspirations. Let's take advantage of the new year spirit and focus our strength on pulling others up in an open, transparent and friendly manner. Happy Holidays.

And on a personal level, I've had the real pleasure to meet so many of you in person across the globe. You are all so amazingly energized and hard-working. Times have moved forward since those early days. This is truly an empowered marketing team and so many of you have a clearer definition of what your roles are when it comes to supporting and marketing the openSUSE Project. For me, the evolution is stunning. But that's not to say we don't have more work to do. Of course, there's still more opportunities to build stronger campaigns, effective organization and highly visible awareness of the Project to the world. But these are ongoing things that will always have opportunities for improvement. I've loved working with so many of you. But at the same time, I have expended many hours of my life on this and I need to start taking care of myself and addressing my own needs as well. I am also beginning a job search.

Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Re: [opensuse-marketing] Feedback form for events
A bit more feedback... I created a file. Please take a look and tell some ideas. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8327991/openSUSE_marketing_survey_draft_v1.odt I'll try to analyze what I think. I have some questions about the person, others about the distro(s) and about community. Unfortunately I couldn't find questions that can be answered like YES/NO. Here we go: Personal: * Those questions show the ID of the user (or developer if he uses a programming language). 1. What OS do you use? Windows/MAC/GNU-Linux/Other Turn that into a check box 2. What type of pc do you have? Desktop/laptop/tablet Change to What will be your next main computing device? Desktop/laptop/tablet * This question shows where we must focus. Maybe create an openSUSE version for tablets (remember guys I'm Vet. I don't know if we can create something like this). 3. Where do you use computer/linux? Profession/home 4. a. Do you know any programming language? b. Are you member of a project? How about getting rid of 4a and changing 4b to, what is blocking you from being a member of a project? Distro 5. a. What was your first distro ever? b. Why did you change your first distro? Add the word 'from' * Here we learn the first distro and the problem that the user had and changed. Difficult installation procedure? Difficult environment? No help? If this is software problem, our developers can fix it. If it's community problem, our community can be organized better. Maybe we must also learn what GUI he/she started. 6. What do you use now? What GUI? Switch What for Which ? * If the user came back to GNU/Linux, what he/she uses now and what GUI. 7. a. Have you ever used SUSE or openSUSE in the past? YES/NO - SUSE/openSUSE b. What were the reasons you stopped using it? * In Greece, lot of people told us: My first distro was SUSE 6.0 but I had a problem using it and I turned to windows (or other distro). So we must find the problem. If the problem doesn't excist any more, it's a success for us. If it is and maybe developers cannot see it, then we must check it. Lately I've heard that it's difficult for the user to SEE the next button on the bottom right corner. I guess the user installed (k)ubuntu where the Next button it under the installation information. 8. How many years do you use GNU/Linux? Instead of asking for years, ask Do you consider yourself an advanced, average or novice user? * Check if the user is advanced or not. Maybe this can go under personal questions. 9. what do you like best in your distro? * Developers can see what people like best and maybe try to create something similar (or better) to our distro. 10. Combine pros from other distros you want to use * It's the same question but the user here can say also what he/she likes from other distros (and dislike on the one he/she uses). Community 11. Do you use forum/irc/ML/wiki/personal contact to find help? * This shows where the user asks questions and gets answers. This way the local communities can focus on that channel of communication. 12. What did you like best with your contact with openSUSE people? 13. What do you think that people of openSUSE must change? * The above 2 questions are to improve the ambassador's behaviour with the people. It's not mandatory but I propose the ambassadors (marketing people) to read books about communicating with people. It's not only about technical questions. We can find answers to those questions to our wiki. But the interaction with people is another story. That's all I'm thinking right now. I hope you're not mad at me (Henne ;-) ) Thanks for reading.

it's a sort of I'm a geecko video
So we first need to know if you find this usefull?
+1
I think this would be a fun project.
One suggestion, which I'm sure you've already thought of - make it non year
specific in the Ambassador calling sections so that we can potentially reuse
the material for future osc.
If so, we will need to have as many ambassadors as possible making
videos (more on the technical points later)
But we also need reviewer to check the videos (to prevent
unappropriate contents). The best way should be to have a member check
them... given as many langages as possible are wanted
we need also OSC logos, posters, to make a beginning and an ending, as
we need some sort of sound or music (free, of course) for them.
we lso need a proposal for a short text, to be used as basis,
variants being possible
I send this to multimedia, ambassadors and marketting, but I think
final discussion of how to make and store videos should be held on
ambassador list and potential technicals around the hole video making
on multimedia, so please post on the relevant list

Something like this - This guideline is for use of the openSUSE logo as a logo or branding icon specifically. If the Geeko is used as creative artwork or illustration and not as a logo, the above guidelines regarding color, positioning and derivative elements may be disregarded. or remove the section on derivatives completely?

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Upgrade Label for Promo DVDs

The event is 2 weeks prior to the release of 11.4. The focus of the sticker was clearly to provide an upgrade path for receivers of the promo DVD at SCALE. As I mentioned it to Manu, he offered to join in with me and design the label, which I gladly accepted his offer because I like seeing people jump in to help. We discussed it openly in the IRC channel and then other people saw and joined in. Unfortunately, for me, the discussion quickly changed to a very different focus and I'm having a bit of a difficult time justifying paying for the sticker in its present design, which is co-designed by Manu and Carlos. I really like the design. Very clean. Good job guys! Don't get me wrong, I think it is a very beautiful design, but it has a serious redundancy issue. In the sticker, I had wanted to point to http://en.opensuse.org//SDB:System_upgrade. Sure its an ugly URL but at least it got the users to the right place. Howeever, the discussion shifted to changing the URL to www.opensuse.org. My problem with this is that it is redundant because that URL is already on the DVD cover itself, plus it is on many other materials we will give out. And the focus changed also from experienced users to n00b users, which is not our primary audience. So, I would really like to rediscuss this label before I send it to the printers ASAP. I am honestly not comfortable paying for stickers that say what is already said elsewhere. Any thoughts, folks? Here's the sticker design by Carlos and Manu: http://en.opensuse.org/File:Card17CR.png I like the sticker but wonder where this was discussed, IRC I guess? Ok, my opinion for this would be simply - if this was meant to lead people to a site where they can upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 (and I understand the need for that as SCALE is shortly before the 11.4 release so this is actually a brilliant idea) then the right link should be on there... Without it and having ppl go to opensuse.org to upgrade, well, they'll probably download a new DVD which is really a huge waste of our 11.3 one ;-) I agree that the URL pointing to upgrade is long and ugly, but it is readable and easily keyed into a browser. +1 due to the functional purpose of the upgrade URL.
