Re: [opensuse-marketing] Fedora cheat cube...can we have one?
I've read all you said and I saw the cheat sheets you post,after that I thought that the cube might not have enough sides and if Fedora made it maybe we should try and make something slightly different like a d8 or a d12, so I looked for paper dices,I found some things but the best I found was at http://www.dicecollector.com/MY_PAPER.HTM .

Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Re: [opensuse-marketing] Women in Free and Open Source
Hei Helen, Hello all, I'm not sure if I would like to go through this kind of discussion... We have several initiatives to make women feel confortable in FOSS or in any other IT issues. As developer in the past and as manager nowdays the only thing that I can say is: it's hard but wich profession isn't?!? My best women group reference: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Women%27s_Caucus after read you will see besides Barriers to women's participation we all looking for the same ideal! Best, Izabel 2010/9/20 Helen postmodernhousew...@gmail.com Jimmy et al, (sorry to hear about your car, Jimmy!) Interesting idea - I'm in two minds about this; on the one hand, clearly we need to encourage women to use and participate in FOSS and openSUSE specifically; on the other hand, 'tokenism' (ie being included just becuase of your gender) and being treated as a minority group is something I find embarrassing. I want to be included because, well, I'm cool and I know stuff and do a good job, you know. Gender is pretty much irrelevant to me most of the time. My experience so far of FOSS is one of unquestioning inclusiveness - Oh you're starting a LUG? Cool, how can we help? We're having a chat on IRC, come join in Although someone on the marketing channel the other day mentioned some women even receiving threats for intruding on the 'boy's club'. So that was a surprise to me, and I was sorry to hear it. Having said all that, given that it is a very male-dominated community, it's probably a good idea to have an avenue where women's concerns can be aired and we can talk about specific ways to appeal to women and to facilitate their involvement. I think Izabel Valverde might have something to say about this too, I hope, we had a brief chat the other day. I think this ties in with the current interest in identifying our users and community. (I feel these two groups are distinct: users can become community) I'd certainly be willing to be involved.

[opensuse-marketing] Report on Software Freedom Day 2010
Greetings, The car had to be towed to a Dealer because, the windscreen was smashed. OK, SFD 2010, where do I begin? We solicited the Propaganda machine: News papers: Paris - Normandie, Rouen Magazine National Radios : RTL and France Bleue RSS : All LUGs in France Forums: Our usual partners alionet.org Mailing lists : opensuse-fr, interlug, april.org . Posters: printed on A3 in colour Uniforms : no openSUSE t-shirts, we indulged in Novell shirts Banners : Novell Users International DVDs : Thanks to openSUSE 11.3 only as we gave all our stock of 11.1 at RMLL in Bordeaux. Material : 5 laptops with openSUSE 11.3 and in standby 16 Boxes with openSUSE 11.1 - 11.2, WI-FI: Our partners of Rouen-Wireless were there Room for the venue : Rouen City Associations House Logistics, refreshments food : NUI.fr Participants: NUI.fr, wikimedia France LANPOWER Websites: nui.fr jmll.fr jmll.org jmll.info softwarefreedomday.org Ranking and web submission : AddWeb We were overwhelmed by the visitors. We distributed 211 openSUSE 11.3 DVDs to the casual visitors and a few SUSE 11 SP1 to people from the Ministry of Education. We started sfd with demonstration of CMS, we showed fresh installation and tweaking of software from http://opensourcecms.com This took a couple of hours because the process was challenging and over a wireless link sometimes falling at 2mb. Coffee break and we struggled our way into FOSS games. The audience was quite interested that you could use Linux to work but also to play games and some of them are clones of Windows games. We gave some advice on using Wine, but demonstrated that installation of openSUSE 11.3 alongside with Windows would be their best bet. Dual booting and showing how to configure in Yast. We taught people into installing openSUSE 11.3 (OK we cheated here) on a particular laptop (a fast one). There were a few challengers. Some people deeply anchored into Ubuntu and Debian were a bit cold on doing the big move! One guy even came with his laptop loaded with CentOS not to nag us but to ask advice on wireless. I showed him how easy we were connected with 5 makes of laptops (Asus, HP, Packard bell, Compaq) with wireless. He will give openSUSE a try! We had our usual visitors and fans and in particular the Chess Club of the city. He wants to interface his Chess board with a Linux box. Well, if any of you has some ideas.. We had a debate on Gnome and KDE 4. This does drain your brains because it's like loving automatic car v/s a manual car. Both cars work fine, it's like tea with sugar or just tea. Wikimedia France was there and gave a lecture on wikis, that was interesting, I did learn a few things as well. We showed the wiki of softwarefreedomday.org and we were the *only* LUG in France doing something. We finished the day with practical labs on openSSH, mRemote, Xen, blogs (mainly WP), CSS. Each visitor was given a pen to write our email down and then they could keep it! What a pity, no pens left, not even for me! There were many other stories, but time is of essence, so I'll keep it short. We are now getting ready for the next round 16th October, 2010. We ran out of battery for our camera so here are the pics secured : http://www.nui.fr/linpha/viewer.php?albid=14stage=1 Best wishes, Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Re: [opensuse-marketing] Women in Free and Open Source
Jimmy, thank you for sharing your experiences. It's funny, mine are a little similar, except that I'm the one grabbing the keyboard! It's not because you're the man, it's just because you're the one who knows what to do in this situation. The separateness of conversation over a meal that you mention is just because of different interests. When my husband talks work with his colleagues, I'll talk about whatever with their wives. We don't share their work. Often we have little in common other than babies and housekeeping (sadly they are never into computers, either.) A LUG is a different matter! We are all there to share a common interest. That link that Izabel provided is an excellent resource, and includes some sound analysis of the issues, as well as suggestions for affirmative action. That you want to encourage women in Linux is wonderful, but I don't think a group is really the way to go. It just encourages separation. From the participants on these lists it's clear that openSUSE has a focus of building an inclusive community, and that, I think, is the way to go. It's not a 'neat and tidy' solution - you can't set a page up and it's all done. It's an ongoing commitment. Standing up to abusive or exclusive behavior can be a little confronting at times. I don't feel 'geeky' language or jargon is a particular problem for women - it can be for any non-computer people. Sometimes jargon is a useful, efficient way of communicating. And sometimes we like being part of the 'in crowd' and using our secret language! There is maybe a cultural difference between the programmer/developer group and the non technical general user/community group, and that could be alienating to both women and men who don't feel they are knowledgeable enough to be involved (when of course they can contribute in many other ways). warmest wishes Helen On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 5:38 AM, Jimmy Pierre jimmypierre.rouen.fra...@gmail.com wrote: I totally agree with you about women being a minority in Linux. Should we men try to talk less in Geek language for starters? OK, we are busy, and when our wives ask for something, what I tend to do is not giving the attention that she deserves, but attempting to get hold of the keyboard or mouse and solve whatever the problem was. I do the same with my sister, friends and neighbours. Slap! snip for brevity I feel like buying them a domain name LinuxPourNousLesFemmes like the famous cosmetics advert Stop! What am I doing right now? I am even choosing their LUG name? Sorry! Just my 2 cents.
