Re: [opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit
Great Erich, That sounds good to me. I'm sure we can come up with guests and I'll ask people if they would like to be one to discuss a specific topic. v/r Doug On 11/03/2017 10:04 PM, Erich Eickmeyer wrote: Hi Doug, Storyboarding isn’t really what is generally needed in a podcast. However, as with any podcast, it requires content gathering, booking guests, and coming up with general topics. Here’s kind of what I envision: This podcast would be a Linux podcast with an (open)SUSE-first slant. Meaning, it would cover all topics in Linux news in general, but the headline would always be something from openSUSE and/or SUSE. It would be weekly or semi-weekly, depending on overall time to commit. I envision the following segment format: - Intro, including “what have you been up to?” for the hosts to answer. - News from around the Linux community with discussion, with openSUSE and SUSE news first and headlining. - Main topic or interview, hopefully centered around (open)SUSE - Emails & Feedback - END That’s what I’ve come up with so far. As far as a launch date, it all depends on what we come up with here. Erich On Nov 3, 2017, at 4:35 AM, ddemaio wrote: Hi Erich, I think this sounds like a great idea.

Unfortunately, nothing ever came from that, with the exception of, at the beginning of this year, Bryan Lunduke had started SUSE Open Audio… which never, as far as I can see, got past two episodes. Not sure what the reasons for that, but from what I know of Bryan is he is a very busy man. I’ve been looking for a Linux project to get involved in lately. My first attempt has been to revive Edubuntu, the education flavor of Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I have received no response from my contacts at Ubuntu/Canonical (I helped in the early days of getting Ubuntu MATE started), and it seems as if the project is being stonewalled in an effort to let it be discontinued. My reason for this was because my son just entered Kindergarten and I wanted to be able to provide him with an operating system tailored to his needs. He has shown an interest in Linux and has a plush Geeko he regularly cuddles with (which should have been my first indication to go with openSUSE). I intend to set him up with the openSUSE Li-FE project when I can get a small computer (read: Netbook or the like) for him. That said, with my media production background, podcasts or something of the like seem to be projects within my wheelhouse. I’m a former producer with Jupiter Broadcasting and even appeared in an episode or two of the Linux Action Show, long after Bryan left, and I used to regularly contribute to Linux Unplugged. After taking a couple years off, I’ve been a part of the Linux Unplugged “Virtual LUG” when time has allowed. My day job is as a production director (video editor, audio engineer, and lighting tech rolled into one) at a church in Seattle. I could go on and even drop a few names, but that might not be relevant at this time. I would not be opposed to leading the efforts to revive a podcast for openSUSE, or even being a host. I know there are tons of people within the community who would make excellent hosts, contributors, or cohosts. Two seems to be a magic number many podcasts use for number of hosts, but I’ve also seen large successes with three hosts. Single host podcasts tend to get boring as there’s no color or conversation to bounce around. Anyhow, if this seems like a good idea, then let me know. It sure would be “a lot of fun.” Erich Eickmeyer-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org

We can report that there were ~35% less visitors and those who attended were new comers on one hand and our usual “suspects” were lying on their couch moaning about the economy, and/or following their partner in the Xmas fever spree. Our venue is adjacent to the shopping mall of Rouen, so this is our barometer. When there are loads of people in the walkways, then we are gratified with visitors. We had: 1.The Chess Club President who came to greet merry Xmas 2.Our Greek lady with some issues. 3.A new lady with FireFox issues 4.Our motor cycler with VLC issues and Leap 42.2 (tip of ice berg) 5.Olivier came to help out as usual. 6.Laurence same sort of things but more patient with ladies in particular beginners. 7.Two new comers who were in another LUG 8.7 “chance” visitors, looking around, just asking what we do and when we are back in. 9.openStreemap was there (a representative that is) 10. A young student from another LUG fond of many distributions and being converted/evangelized to openSUSE. 11. Nathalie to give morale support, tea, coffee, juice, cakes and make people wait when they arrive… 12. Myself Nothing much happening, apart from sharing knowledge, applications, usage, debugging. Until our moto cycler after hearing the lady complaining about FireFox was motivated to change his desktop to Mate (not our idea) and people from 7 and 10 above jumped on this opportunity for approximately 3 hours. The 4G router was red hot downloading with yast (29GB for the day). The whole story ended in a nightmare. I had to take the laptop home, reinstall Leap 42.2 fresh and went to deliver on Sunday :) There was on top of all this a couple that needed a Dell with Vista migrated. Olivier spent the whole afternoon on this case. We thought that we had won when it asked to reboot after installation. No, blank screen, the video card is not on the HAL list and clearly not supported. Also tried Tumbletweed, KO as well. Vista has some happy days to live on. I did distribute Leap 42.2 DVDs and stickers… It was my step daughter’s birthday so we closed on time and were quite happy that we were asked for January dates, which BTW is 28th.

[opensuse-marketing] Script for Leap
Hi all, The next release of openSUSE Leap is coming along and we need some help marketing it. One solution that could be helpful would be to have a script like we have with Tumbleweed (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-08/msg00256.html) that produces a list of the differences in version number from openSUSE Leap 42.1 to openSUSE Leap 42.2. It would also be great if the script could list the differences between 42.1, 42.2 and SLE 12 SP2. this will help us publicize the differences in the versions and allow us to articulate the benefits of Leap to potential new users. The scripts for Tumbleweed were written in python, so some of the script for the Leap purpose could be reused. If you would like to write this script for this and future releases of Leap, please please email the openSUSE Factory Mailing List and cc me. v/r doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Leap Slogan and Marketing Meeting
Hi Edwind, You can see what the shirt looks like here - https://shop.opensuse.org/#!leap+t-shirt-A104018398 I've attached the graphics for you to produce t-shirts locally. The ones on the shop are slightly different on the back. Instead of the word openSUSE on the back of the neck like in the shop, the logo is there for the ones I've ordered for the release parties. v/r Doug Quoting medwinz : On Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 9:49 PM, Douglas DeMaio wrote: Hi all, We had a marketing meeting on Leap today, which you can find the info below.

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Popularity of Linux distributions
I could think of a couple of groups: - computer enthousiasts and power users - small business users - developers (web, app, application) - sysadmins (server, network, etc) How would we move ahead and approach these more targeted? I think this is a good topic for oSC and I'm pretty sure the board will address it there. Thanks for the info. The data is a little old and I agree with Henne that the data and methodology used is questionable. From a quick analysis on distrowatch, one could conclude openSUSE is steadily rising given its 12 months, 6 months and 3 months moving average. It's a solid 4th on that site, which would contradict Donnie Berkholz's story of the data. All trends show an up tick in popularity, but this is based off distrowatch's "light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions." Having a demographic info would really aid in nailing down our audience. Are there any measurement applications we use on our website to assess our web traffic? -- Respectfully, Douglas DeMaio Senior Consultant, openSUSE douglas.dem...@suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-marketing] openSUSE on Bad Voltage
For oSC15: it likely won't happen. Even if it made sense for the conference (and there is space for it in the schedule) we probably won't have the time to pull together the needed sponsors to cover the airfare (we did it many months in advance for SCALE) and schedule it with the crew. But doing a live show at a future oSC would be absolutely awesome. On the topic of the openSUSE review on the next episode: It would be awesome to get someone on the next episode to talk about openSUSE. Maybe Richard Brown or Doug DeMaio or... someone else? It would be a roughly 10 to 15 minute chat about openSUSE history and, in general, talking about what's great about it. Thoughts? Hi Bryan, I'll be snowboarding in the Alps at 2,300 meter with patchy wifi and a bunch of beer for the next week and a half. Don't hate on me too much. I recommend Andrew Wafaa do the interview on this occasion and that Richard be the secondary choice. cheers Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org
