Hi,

first of all, thanks for reviving this thing! I'd really appreciate
more community news on news-o-o instead of "just" release notes.

> 1. Change the name of the project to "Humans of openSUSE".

That sounds good to me. Another approach would be pointing out more to
all the community members. Fedora is doing that by calling their series
"How do you Fedora?" which is really good.

The final format not being an interview is fine for me. But don't
expect people to write so much without giving them some sort of
scaffolding.

Two (similar) examples I would like to point out:

https://usesthis.com
https://linuxrig.com/the-linux-setup/

They are both interview style but I guess as inspiration for questions
to use in the scaffolding mentioned above they are useful.

vinz.

I'm very concerned that this will be super awesome! ;-)

I found that "fill out this form" style also awkward, from the reader
but also from the subject perspective.

[opensuse-marketing] Some ideas about People of openSUSE

2019-05-29 Thread zerocon
Hi,
I love the concept behind the people of openSUSE project and it immediately got 
my attention to help revive it, but in my first try to interview new members I 
noticed two things:

1. The name of the project "People of openSUSE".
2. The Q/A format, in general, feels like a job interview.

The idea's to tell stories of people who once contributed to openSUSE, the 
human behind that username. Based on that, I'd like to stay away as far as we 
could from the job interview feel, it's obviously not that community friendly 
nor comfortable, so I've a proposal for each point:

1. Change the name of the project to "Humans of openSUSE".
2. Replace interviewer/interviewee format by storytelling/autobiography style 
(that basically covers the same agenda) which leaves more space for creativity 
and personality touch, if you're concerned about the practicality of this I can 
maybe make a test story with someone.

I'd like to hear your thoughts,
Imad
