Correct Vinzenz,

This was for Leap 42.3. This new edition is for Leap 15.

[opensuse-marketing] Getting Started with Linux Special Edition #32

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Hi,

I have received an AD from Linux Magazine:

http://www.sparkhaus-shop.com/eu/magazines/special-editions/eh32067.html

It looks like the copycat of openSUSE Leap 42.3.

Interesting promotion as a matter of fact.

Cheers,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report on SFD 25th November, 16th December 2017, 27th January, 24th February and 24th March 2018.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Report on SFD 25th November, 16th December 2017, 27th January, 24th
February and 24th March 2018.

We have been over busy and being the only English speaking person, I
will make quite salient and interesting encounters.

We always started the day eating lunch together and brief on the
activities and designate who does what.

The visitors count is constant ~35 people, steady audience.

We have the usual visitors and “chance” visitors.

Over these five months, we made new contacts:

1.  A guy popped in and wanted a webmaster, could not help because
he had all his requirements in his mind and could not clearly explain
what he wanted. I sent him back to the black/white board.

2.  A blind person accompanied by a usual visitor wanted to ‘try’
openSUSE. I did not approve a change as his brail system was already
using Ubuntu. We do not fix a working computer. He said that he had a
spare PC, so I proposed to install openSUSE on the spare PC, next
time.

3.  A few visitors discovered our “party” they were from
Marseille, we spent time talking about food et al. They had no
computers, they were just visiting. They saw what we do and how
openSUSE worked though.

4.  The person who came in October finally bought the HP that we
recommended. We started installation but when it came to transfer the
old files, we had to visit her the next day Sunday to finish the job.

5.  JC came with his wife, he had bought a new motorbike and
wanted some changes to his profile pictures on FB and also other
Social sites.

6.  I noticed that Raspberry was not something that got the
visitors excited.

7.  However, WSL seem for them a Try before ditching Windows. I
did explain that we did not recommend that they made the big step
without a net. We always go through dual boot step first (just in
case).

8.  Our Calc student is getting better and better.

9.  The teacher took a few DVDs for his esteemed students.

10.   There were *two* LUGs in Rouen. The other one seem dormant and
his attendees bring their sick computers running UBUNTU for repairs.
Change management is of essence. We therefore give an openSUSE DVD to
those who can install by themselves and for others, we have to either
repair/reinstall UBUNTU or install openSUSE if they readily say *YES*.

11.   From the dissidents of the other LUG, we have strange demands:
email not working, hard disk replacement, in a particular lady who
wanted to run Linux on a PC of 2008; repeat 2008. We could not because
openSUSE Leap is 64 bit.

12.   Another visitor left her PC and I personally took 6 days on and
off to repair the beast….

13.   New people wanted information, some came for goodies (could not
handle that one), DVD, Linux Magazine, asking for a donation (yes
average of 2 people per session)

14.   VLC is still an issue; It seems to me that the right repository
(Packman) should be the one readily added so that it is installed
smoothly.

15.   We had people attempting to migrate 32 bit 13.1 openSUSE to
Tumbleweed 32 bit.

16.   An interesting issue, new faces and old faces not coming back. I
met with a lady while doing food shopping last week and in the
conversation, I asked her why don’t you come back and see us? Her
answer puzzled me: All is working, so no need to visit you. Is it so?
Well, we need to celebrate :D

17.   Coming back to Tumbleweed, one of our visitors migrated a 64 bit
openSUSE Leap 42.3 to Tumbleweed and had quite a new “distribution” on
box. Reinstallation was required and I told him to stop reading
articles on the Internet unless he knows what he is doing.

18.   Other clubs came round as usual, but I do not expect them to
move to openSUSE, they do have issues, but we are not volunteering to
move them around. One of them will come in April with his laptop; he
has lost the wireless module…..

19.   There is a project manager who came on two different dates, he
sort of mingled but he is not technical.

20.   Our Greek lady is back, latest episode, she has viruses on 7 USB
keys. I have taken them home for cleaning.

21.   We also noticed a new comer who says he comes from Mascarenes
area in the Indian Ocean, we started to discuss on fauna and recipes
before getting into the nitty gritty. He had a quite old computer aged
11 years and never used Linux before.

22.   The new challenge is to get openSUSE and SUSE working on WSL
*with* a DE, XFCE will be nice. I successfully installed XFCE on Kali,
UBUNTU and Debian. I personally demonstrated WSL and meanwhile at home
succeeded in installing xfce on SUSE and openSUSE LEAP.

23.   Linux Presentation Day is back 28th April (
https://nui.fr/blog/linux-presentation-day-2018-a-rouen-normandie/ ),
if there are some spare Linux Magazines and some bits and pieces, I
would be so ever grateful.

Four more events left before Summer holidays.

We will have more fun :D

Best,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report on Software Freedom Day 28th October

[Jimmy PIERRE]

We started the day with our sort of holy ceremony:  eating lunch
together and brief on the pre booked activities.

It was an Indian Summer Saturday, so, people were out on the streets.

We had 34 visitors who passed the door in that order:

1.  The Chess Club President came round and had a question on Linux Games.

2.  We had a teacher last month who was being trained on
Spreadsheet (Calc). We indulged in exercises and revision of previous
months learning. Good student!

3.  A company director visited us to hire two people to work on
Linux in his company. One of our lads did a sort of “speed dating” and
was requested to visit the director the next week.

4.  VLC is driving us nuts as Jean-Claude had no sound any more on
his one month openSUSE Leap 42.3 installation. We spent a lot of time
repairing VLC.

5.  An old faithful member came round and wanted some advice to
buy a brand new computer. We obviously looked for a well-known
manufacturer so that openSUSE drivers would be natively available.

6.  8 Chance visitors popped in and we gladly lured them to
openSUSE. All 8 did not know anything on Linux et al.

7.  Our Greek lady had used her 4 USB keys at the local library
and wanted us to check if there were any viruses. I used this activity
to praise Linux for a non-virus OS.

8.  It was soon tea time and Laurence and some of girls went to
the coffee shop to get drinks, cakes etc.

9.  We had the routine activities on Free Software, used these
opportunities to explain how and why openSUSE rules. A few people
tried to smuggle other distributions (Ubuntu and Mint among others) in
the conversation because they themselves were using same. It’s hard to
evangelize when people already have habits… I made an installation
demo over Win10 ending with a dual boot and wow! All in half an hour
more or less including updates and customization.

10.   I had an engineer who called me twice and he arrived mid-way of
the event. He took a 42.3 DVD and seemed to be able to start a fresh
installation on his own. (He called on Sunday, completely lost, so he
came home on Tuesday which was a Public Holiday and we did it
together. He took notes on how-to for Yast et al).

11.   Two people wanted to see WSL in action. We had to go through the
steps with our blog as guide line.

12.   There was a distribution of 11 Linux Magazines, thanks Doug!

Two more events left for 2017. 25th nov. and 16th Dec

We will have more fun :D

[opensuse-marketing] Rouen: Report on SFD 16th September, 2017

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Report on SFD 16th September, 2017.

One week after association’s day, we had SFD. We were still excited
and highly motivated.

The city lent us a video projector because this way, I can share my
screens with everybody present.

The number of visitors was 33. There were already 4 people who sort
of booked a session over the phone.

1.   A lady has a MacBook and before jumping in at the deep end,
wanted to learn more on Linux. She is a teacher and needed some
coaching on administrative IT programs like LibreOffice.

2.   A couple has 3 PC, two “old” ones and a new one. They wanted
to get openSUSE installed. We could not because we do not have 32bit
versions and also because their IT knowledge could not warrant such a
change.

3.   Another lady wanted to purchase a new pc.  She had been
advised to buy a Lenovo with Ubuntu, a 15” screen, 500 GB HD and 4
Gigs of RAM. I changed her vision for a HP with the double of all that
and a 17” screen. She will purchase same and bring over for openSUSE
installation.

4.   We made 8 openSUSE Leap 42.3 upgrades. (VLC still giving
trouble). Plus one complete reinstallation.

5.   Oh, our Greek lady had an issue with her Yast update. All sorted out.

6.   I had a few interesting debates on ODT, XML and Microsoft
format of Office documents. This created a buzz because people
suddenly discovered on how to use Linux with MS Office documents from
a Windows partition.

7.   We went into teaching some basics of openSUSE and also more
elaborate matters on Concepts, advanced administration, cloning etc.

8.   Strange issue: Around 4 visitors thought that Linux was
something that can be uploaded straight in their mind. They thought
that the learning was not from their end.

We really had a lot of fun :D

PS. We ended the evening at my step-daughter’s place who cooked  for us.

PS1. Now, we are getting ready for Saturday 28th October, next.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Report Software Freedom Days

First semester 2017: 25th February, 25th march, 22nd april, 27th may &
24th june. *plus* Fete 1st June

We have many many positive stories and only one negative one to tell.
Before doing this, I did put my other professional skills to work
because the number of visitors never went over ~25 since January and
this started to worry me a lot! So in April, we had the Presidential
elections in France on 23rd April precisely and we had 12 people only.
I therefore took this opportunity to query previous visitors who gave
their email addresses the reason of seeing them once, twice or thrice
to the most. Using Social Media allows me not to spam visitors.

On over 100 emails sent, we had a 50% response: their openSUSE
installation just works fine and they were still discovering this and
that. Seven had VLC issues (sic) and overcame it by using other music
software and others in streaming films etc. One of them was a Ubuntu
guy and he said that since I repaired his Ubuntu machine, he had not
need to come over for now. It therefore must be seen as a “resistance
/ political” move when people go for FOSS and this is shared by the
“left wing”, labor party, socialists etc. The left was in the process
of losing the elections did not help morale! I do not mix politics and
being a Geek, but for some people FOSS in France means defiance, anti
capitalism et al. The audience for 27th May was the aftermath of final
presidential elections of 7Th May but we had 22 people. May is also
the month in France with many holidays.

The city organizes every year a fete in each municipal premises to
pave the way to Summer Holidays and debrief of past year activities,
games, shows, food and the 1st June arrived, we were there as every
year. Here went leaflets, stickers and other materials. SFD in June
was a prelude or epilogue of first semester.

I am now going to narrate only the salient stories:

1.   Two guys came from the “Repair Café” (they repair everything,
toasters, kettles, fridges, computers…)  to learn openSUSE and pick
some DVDs for installation. This is interesting because our “club” has
a good reputation since 2001. They always knew about us but they are
pretty busy on Saturdays.

2.   We had a few associations asking for old machines. I do need
to get an openSUSE 32 bit distribution before making a donation.

3.   A good man came some 150 kms away (Amiens), spent the night
in Rouen with his wife in an hotel and was very motivated indeed. I
did tell him that he could start a chapter there and that I will come
over to help him for his first meetings. This happened in May, so I
guess that he will start his project end of year or 2018. We will do
to Amiens, there is a nice pastry shop there….

4.   Many chance visitors curious and somehow already using some
other Linux, 35% willing to try openSUSE and did take a DVD to play
with.

5.   We had some luck with WSL. This is really for people who do
not want using dual boot and/or vmWare et al. Some of them have new
machines bought last Christmas and did not want to give their family a
shock with another OS. I blogged on WSL since last February starting
with this one :
http://www.nui.fr/blog/installer-les-services-linux-de-windows-10-wsl-opensuse/
Many geeks are nostalgic of command.com so WSL brings some happiness
and lately PowerShell (I need to blog on PowerShell for Linux)
appeared….

6.   We had Raspberry sessions, especially remote administration,
ssh, nginx, ftp…

7.   I have bought most bits and pieces for the photobooth too,
just waiting for a lamp tripod to arrive.

8.   We held many sessions on Home Networking. We own a 4G router,
so we can easily simulate a home network with firewalling etc. When
there was the Ransomware blackmailing, we helped people securing email
etc.

9.   I had two SFD sessions post Saturday event as the boxes were
so badly affected that I did it at home on two Sundays.

10. Sadly, I must admit that we had just one negative story. The
reason is more a medical one. As a matter of fact, despite spending
hours of work getting openSUSE 42.2 running on an HP box, the lady
asked to revert to Windows, because she was suffering from a kind of
breakdown, burnt out to be more precise…. No more questions asked, and
I personally made a Windows 10 Installation with all the patches L

11. openStreetMaps did not come at all this year, busy?

12. Our Greek lady was there each month with a particular issue.

13. Some members came with cakes, biscuits at all the sessions and
we got coffee, tea and cold drinks/water going as usual. This does
make a difference as spending hours with all these machines up and
running, it’s noisy, warm, so some refreshment is a plus.

14. The dates for the second semester 2017 and Second semester
2018 are booked, just need to advertise.

2017   date

September 09   Associations day, will use as tremplin for
launching

Greetings,

I have been pretty busy with work and just realized that NUI is taking
part in LPD next Saturday. I had a look at Github and found brochures
as old as 2011. Could someine point me to new brochures etc. please?

Also if there are slides, I will appreciate same.

[opensuse-marketing] Report Software Freedom Day Saturday 25th January, 2017.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

A small quorum gathered home in order to fill our bellies in view of
the usual monthly fight with the cold weather.

We can report that there was grosso modo again ~50% less visitors and
those who attended were new comers on one hand and the core people
that run our association. Even if this is the season for Sales in the
adjescent shopping mall, there was no crowd loitering at all.

We thought that the weather would be milder by midafternoon, but no,
this was a linear cold day.

We had:

1.A very nice couple who came to wish us Happy New Year and taking
an appointment to upgrade Leap 42.1

2.Our Greek lady as usual with various issues.

3.A new lady owner of a dead box that she will bring at our next
event for resuscitation purposes

4.Another new lady with a brand new Windows 10 machine and wanted
a 180° turn to openSUSE. We advised to keep Windows 10 and install
openSUSE 42.2 as dual boot, which we successfully did.

5.Another lady with a broken Leap 42.1 (her neighbor tried to help
her out). Sadly, she forgot her AC power supply. She went back home
and came back one hour later. I personally took care of the works.
Good point, the home directory is not wiped out nowadays, so even
though if she did not desperately needed her files in her home
directory, she got them back alright!

6.Olivier came for lunch and the event (as usual)

7.Laurence catered for tea/coffee etc. and took care of desperate
housewives with Linux related problems.

8.We had a PM from Renault (the vehicles manufacturers) and his
wife. The full works, there is a big potential there specially for
SUSE. As he came with his work laptop, it was difficult to format the
HD :) So he used one of ours with loads of software. His wife is an
Event Manager, so all this was new to her. They ended up home for a
typical French dinner!

9.8 “chance” visitors, just curious what’s up.

10.  openStreemap was there as usual (a representative that is)

11.  A lady came with her laptop in order to better herself, third time around.

12.  Nathalie and niece came round for morale support inter-alia.

13.  Myself

>From the smiles that we got, we realize that these type of events do
take people from their daily routine to come in at the deep end to use
an OS they did not know about and with a good learning curve. What I
discovered, people do take notes. Good point!

The lady in 5 took an appointment with our Secretary General to bring
her husband *home* as he is not free on weekends. He would like Leap
42.1 (what he actually saw on his wife’s machine) and had some
questions.

I did distribute Leap 42.2 DVDs and stickers…

What can I say, a cozy audience and we had a lot of fun :)

Cheers,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report Software Freedom Day Saturday 17th December, 2016.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Greetings,

So we planned the last SFD event of 2016 on Saturday 17th.

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. I have
5 new people who have confirmed their presence *plus* one lady with
her desktop already in the starting blocks :D

However a smaller audience, we had a lot of fun :)

Best,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report Software Freedom Day Saturday 19 November, 2016.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Greetings,

It was quite a miserable day, coldish, the City Hall was deserted. A
few associations were present and waiting for visitors/members to pop
in.

When we got to our room, the heating was off and the tables had sort
of disappeared. We had to go in other rooms and took possession of
“spare” tables from other associations. Bad start!

The first person who entered was the President of an association in
North Rouen and one of our regulars gave him our contact. I spent some
time with him discussing his motivations and what he delivers in his
association. As a matter of fact, Libre Office and as he saw the pc of
our regular attendee running Leap 42.1, so he came to learn more. I
scratched a USB key and burnt Leap 42.2 for him to test. And as we had
the 19 boxes to update/reinstall, I started one and showed him how to
do it properly and got him to install a couple of boxes alone so that
he could be autonomous when he got to his own machines in his
association. 50 minutes later, he was done and said good bye!

In parallel, we had a few things going:

1.A guy came with an old box (x86) and wanted Leap 42.2 installed.
We got desperate and tried a openSUSE 13.2 instead (I know, not
supported). His DVD player was KO, so despite numerous attempts, we
finally showed him how to create a network install.

2.The IT teacher came round and was eager to see Leap 42.2 going.
Which he saw. And as he came with his own USB Key, the iso was burnt
to his key. We made his day!

3.Our Greek lady was in as usual and desperately needed help with
some text, among other things. We did let Laurence deal with that one!

4.Two girls popped in and wanted the price for lesson on
LibreOffice. I replied 1000€. They seemed happy to pay ;-) so I gave
them an inset on opensource and FOSS. And also that we do *not* charge
a cent… They will come back and bring their machines in next month.

5.A young fellow who had problems in his schooling spent the day
with us, he installed some boxes with openSUSE and gave help to
visitors. It was good to see motivated people. Later in the evening we
found him pushing a bike in the city: they stole his saddle while he
was with us

6.I had my guy with the new laptop that I spent hours tweaking the
BIOS and had to make a personal delivery a couple of months ago to his
home. He was here for Leap 42.2 upgrade. We did a clean install and
again a fight with the BIOS. (Note to self: need to write a how to).

7.We had a guy who wanted some web development. Sadly we cannot
indulge in designing and building tailored made web services. I
explained that he could by all means get help to install many FOSS on
a domain or host his website on openSUSE for example and it would be
up to him to build a sort of portal that will call the necessary
software. He was deceived that we would not indulge in his wishes….

8.A guy called me on Saturday early morning and was pretty vague:
Is it SFD to-day? I said yes and when he came in hours later, this was
quite challenging:

a.He had UBUNTU 16.04.1 LTS (64bits) installed and had no Wi-Fi

b.He was trying to use his Phone to do tethering with UBUNTU

c.No driver found/installed

d.Running on battery, so time was of essence

I took that case on. After reading some forums etc. I found a guide on
openclassrooms.com and by applying the procedure, ndiswrapper et al, I
got his laptop working. He did explain that he had a few machines, so
burnt a key for him and showed him how to installl openSUSE Leap 42.2

9.There is an association for Rouen area who deals with repairing
gear for the public, free of charge. They had a guy to visit us. He
would like to install openSUSE on machines that they would repair.
Then the people could come to us for help…. As they repair not only
computers but also washing machines, dish washers, kettles, electric
irons, radio, hifi, I said why not!

10.  Then the usual curious people, casual visitors, those who know
Linux, those who use other distributions and want to nag us, those who
do not have a clue, those who we sort of babysit while their wives  go
to do shopping. On and off, we had at cruise level not more than 28
people at a time, that we were 5 to handle.

We had a lot of fun! Next one for the year 2016: 17th December.

[opensuse-marketing] Report on SFD 25th June, 2016.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Greetings from NUI, Normandy.

The 25th June was the last of the season SFD before the huge Regional
gathering hosted by the city of Rouen on 10th September, then
International SFD 17th September.

The weather was depressing, it was the first Saturday of Summer, but
no sun at all…Anyway with openSUSE, we usually have fun without the
sun, right!

When doors opened, we normally have a massive crowd that gives a hint
of the day. This time, despite the usual tam-tam/powwow, smoke
signals, whatever it was us and us.

I started to think, either everything was working fine or there was no
interest in Linux (in general).

I therefore checked what activities were going on in other clubs,
Chess, zumba, cooking, yoga, miniatures, bridge and they were
experiencing same sort of attendance. Then miracles started to happen.
A corporate admin needed a few tweats (Bluetooth), firefox issues etc.
arrived on his motorbike, then came, our Greek lady with libreoffice
files issues. A lady had lost her password. An old acquaintance
monopolized me for more than one hour with Adobe issues.

A visitor wanted collaborative software for NGOs in Africa. I had in
the past installed a software for sharing documents, chat, organize
meetings and I did not see any of us flying in Africa to maintain free
software in countries at war of that can start war for silly reasons….
But I offered to train him. I also pointed him to open365.org The
teacher came to check latest tricks, I had a couple who thought that
we were running a cybercafé and needed to check their emails. I had
someone to chaperon them, just in case. Mind you, a gentleman walked
in at around 18:00 and wanted to check his email too. Maybe I should
put a sign outside: Free Internet! Two engineers (Ex coworkers at
ENGIE) came especially from Paris to check SUSE. One of them brought
his 5 year old daughter and 10 years son, those two I will not count.

Anyway, we gave out something like 9 visiting cards to curious people
passing by and wanted to know what we were doing and received firm
promises of visiting next academic year. i;e; September next. I also
had a guy walking in and looking around at the screens and when I
stood up to go and greet him, he sort of sped up his pace and went
out. Including the last strange visitor, we had only 22 visitors, not
our best attendance. I will put this down on Euro 2016. Portugal /
Croatia playing that evening.

I will start marketing September events this month. We also have our
dates up to December 2016.

Peace,

Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report on Linux Presentation Day

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Hi all,

For an European event, I must say that it went quite well.

We had tables set in a U form, projector and myself, Christophe and
Olivier as "lecturers" and interactive sort of thing so that people do
not fall asleep.

I had some slides Matrix from SUSE and customized in French.

SLE 12 is nearer to MS Windows and KDE on Leap 42.1 were mainly used.
Having not been capable/lucky of showing openSUSE on Raspberry, we did
some demo ssh from Leap to RPI. Installed Dataplicity from ssh running
on Leap. Installed lynx was fun as well.

Questions were on software compatibility, dual booting (I demoed
quadri boot, win7, W8, W10 and Leap), downloading openSUSE (where and
howto). What I found interesting that people travelled from many parts
of Normandy to visit and also tha fact that some were taking notes.

This time, we did not indulge in small/private insets, but only in
lecturing and demo, again and again. 4 sessions in all. The biggest
one was 31 at 14:18 for an hour or so.

Having just a few stickers left and some brochures in French were the
only give aways on hand.

French hospitality came to our rescue, we opened an account with the
coffee shop some 50 metres away and at the end of the day counted 84
coffees/teas/cokes and 67 cakes. We had some biscuits and some members
brought home made mug cakes etc.

We were very tired at the end of the day that we just went back home,
did not settel for a beer or anything!

This week we are having on Friday the Yearly party of the Centre where
all associations come and show what they do and our Montlhy Software
freedom Day on Saturday 28.

So help us God!

Cheers,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report on Saturday 23 January, 2016.

[Jimmy PIERRE]

Greetings,

As everything is still fresh in my mind, allow me to tell you how it
went in Normandy last Saturday.

The City is facing huge deficits and there will be no city staff
around anymore on Saturdays. The main door will be locked/closed and
to get in, everybody will need to use the back door.

There was no sign post and I demanded one to be handwritten and fixed
on main door. For lucky people that could read / understand it, we
were there for them :)

1.In a nutshell, the usual crowd responded present.

2.We started a migration a bit on the shy part from openSUSE 13.1
to openSUSE 13.2 32 bit, the very guy who came in December. No backup
done, so we did not venture in this upgrade. Instead we gave  him a
box with openSUSE 13.2 to play with.

3.His wife was into learning open street maps on a Leap 42.1 KDE box

4.Our Greek lady was back, needing a Greek keyboard, expecting
that I was God, so I taught her ASCII model like ALT + 225 = Beta etc.
She could then type almost fluently in LibreOffice .

5.The lady of December last wanted Leap alongside with Windows 7.
OK, backup was done, but Leap complained that C: contained errors….
The full works: scandisk for almost two hours then vanilla
installation of Leap. Nothing to declare, tests were done and she was
the last happy visitor to go home.

6.VLC still gave us a lot of hassle and we also installed
UMPlayer, but there was not such devotion though….. Note to self: Find
a 100% openSUSE alternative for demanding geeks to play mulimedia.

7.Another VLC as last month. OK there was a one-click install for
Leap and all went well. Other non-nagging issues were taken care of.

8.We had a special guest, he came, he saw, “took possession” of my
HP workstation and played the whole afternoon, did not complain or
asked questions. When tea time came, he had coffee with the
compliments of NUI and the various cakes that our regulars brought in
and seemed to have indulged in all pre installed software of Leap. Oh
well, if this rendered him happy :)

9.An interesting case, a guy came complaining about UBUNTU, bla
bla bla. He said he came a few months back and picked an openSUSE 12.2
DVD which he has now installed. WIFI was KO, so as he was suspicious
of us “messing” his box, we got WIFI to work and guess what? He did a
full upgrade with the compliments of my 4G SIM card…. He gives tuition
at a school, so he said. I did not tell him about openSUSE Education
yet because this is another breed. We will see how it goes next month…

10.  The best is yet to come: a guy walked in and had a question. He
could not remember what was his question…. I shared my email, just in
case! He stayed around a bit…

11.  A lady came with two kids. No games… Note to self: Erase Gamer
Laptop (ASUS) and *install* Leap with the Ethernet cable banged in!

12.  There were two candidates for Leap installation. I had prepared a
live-fat-stick with flavours of openSUSE. Either USB ports were KO, or
something else, could not get it to work. Note to self, *recheck* the
live-fat-stick *first*

13.  Due to new logistics (see above), we had less people. Just 26 in
total but very glorifying exchanges :)

14. The guys from openstreet map did not come this time

15.  Linux presentation Day 30th April coming soon…. We have plenty of
time to prepare this event which by coincidence happens on one of our
SFD.


Cheers,
Jimmy

 One sentence? That's a big ask :)

 It simply works, beautifully.


 I'm writing this from 12.2 KDE Live CD. Not trusting Windows with my
 internet banking and wanting to take the latest release for a spin, I
 downloaded from my local mirror. I think it took about 15 minutes or
 so while I made a cup of tea. A couple of minutes to burn the disk,
 reboot hitting F12 and voila, welcome to openSUSE. Looking gorgeous as
 always.

 In a couple of seconds I find the 'configure desktop' option and the
 elegant popup shows me that the 'mouse' option is indeed in 'input
 devices' (superflous information on this occasion, but handy when
 you're looking for something ambiguous) and I switch my lefthanded
 mouse to the reversed button setup that I prefer after years of
 sharing computers with righthanders.

 Is Firefox working? Of course. Version 13, pretty good. Let's listen
 to something on YouTube while doing the banking... surely I'll have to
 install video drivers and plugins and stuff? ... nope. Great sound and
 perfect playback out of the box. Job done quickly and efficiently.

 What was that you were saying about Linux being a headache? Sorry, I
 couldn't hear you over the sound of openSUSE being awesome.

Hiya,

websites and blogs updated accordingly. openSUSE 12.2 is part of SFD

HI jimmy,

You know that we are a new Security Linux Distro BUGTRAQ and for the
Bugtraq-II version we are making a community to be more, and we are working
on OpenSuse too..  We are interesting in colaborate with you If you are
interesting we would like to share us respective (logos) and link your web
if you want to link our web like colaborate team o something like that.

We can contribute too much to your distro because we are creating our self
bugtraq team with security software specialists and an actively
collaboration would be good for both distros.

Of course, we are grateful to you and your great distro, it helped us a lot
in our project. And maybe people for the Opensuse's community would
colaborate in the *Bugtraq-II OpenSuse.*

Thank you very much for your attention Jimmy.

[opensuse-marketing] Debriefing from NUI.fr

[Jimmy Pierre]

Dear All,

It has been a while since I gave some insight of what’s new at NUI.fr

The more and more I think at it, I reckon than to make a report of an event
every month, it does necessitate opening the report template, but most of us
would attempt to complete these reports from work and even from a smartphone
while travelling. I therefore propose a form and a box for free writing and
here you go! This form can be programmed to be emailed automatically to the
mailing list. A login would be preferable in order to avoid spam.

Since my last report, we kept the monthly event jmll.fr and we noticed that
the madding crowd was getting thinner over the months! The question is why?
And analyzing who came, why they came and from where they came, the answer
was economics.

What has economics got to do with openSUSE, open source et al? Well, the
municipality rents a room to NUI.fr on a yearly basis, we do keep most
material there, and we only take home our brand new laptops, those that we
use daily. These premises are located in *the* commercial center of the city
and the metro station is adjacent together with a huge parking (not free).
We chose this venue because of the number of visitors of commercial center
and the practical meeting place for everybody.

Many a time (in the past) we found men coming to our venue while their wives
went shopping. There has also been cases where men went shopping and left
their wives with us in order to better their IT skills. For the last months,
with the ongoing recession, people started to avoid the commercial centre
and obviously the events hosted in the municipality premises are getting
thinner. Other activities held there are: yoga, dancing, photography, chess,
embroidery, crafting and around 40 more. The leaders of these other clubs
also complain on the number of their visitors. The figures are fractions of
what we used to get.
17-déc 2011 = 8
14 JAN 2012 = 6
18 FEV 2012 = 11

We also have staff from mediawiki on board with us now.

It would appear that Windows 7 is a good vintage and that people are *not*
looking for a substitute. We have two appointments for the next venue i.e.
17th March next: A woman wants to shrink her Windows partition and increase
her Linux partition. Another woman left her computer for an erase and a
clean install of openSUSE. 

We do have loads of places where we do our advertising and marketing,
including radio, newspaper, FB, twitter, etc. This does not seem to be seen,
viewed and heard by the whole population. We are not aiming at a geeks only
venue... 

Anyway, apart from the usual monthly venues, we are also having the yearly
RSSIL in Maubeuge the 2nd and 3rd June and RMLL in Geneva 7th – 12th July
and Software Freedom Day 15th September.

I have changed work and is in another bank, they use SUSE there, I need to
lure them to openSUSE...

Let’s get the ball running and stay positive!

Keep up the good job and rest assured of my fullest attention and services
at all times.

[opensuse-marketing] Question from Microsoft geeks on my FB page

[Jimmy Pierre]

Does Hyper V support openSUSE 11.4 natively?

What would you answer? I run openSUSE on Virtual box, VMware, Xen, really
not 100% sure. However, SLED/SLES are supported natively!

Tricky hey?

 Hi guys,
 Jos and I had just this discussion with GregH in Germany.

 Greg reports that he has installed openSUSE 11.4 into Hyper-V without
 any problems (at least that he saw).

 Additionally, it looks like openSUSE will automatically install
 Hyper-V peripheral drivers automatically when available, this means
 that although installing most Linux distros likely will require the
 Hyper-V Linux Compatibility tools add-on (Similar to VMware tools,
 etc), it's unnecessary when installing openSUSE.

 Hurrah for one less step and less complications!

 As for natively -- It does seem that whoever used that word needs to
 explain what he means.

Thanks Tony,

Maybe if we can share our vitualised images (Xen, VMware, VirtualBox)
for people to test? Something that Microsoft does already, they have
Windows X images as well as Echange and other applications, just off

present as scheduled.
oHow did you promote the Event? 
••   Facebook : No 
••   Twitter : No 
••   Others : Usual channels (forums, rss feeds to web sites and our four 
domain names nui.fr jmll.fr jmll.org, jmll.info , no radio, no newspapers as 
they had other bones to gnaw) 
oAny Interesting Story you will like to share with us? : Yes, two 
people drove 87 kms to come to see us and I learnt later that they heard about 
us on the radio for the last event 1.e 18th September and kept track of what we 
were doing. A young man took a dvd for her grandma Myrtha, aged 81. We had a 
sort of Jam session (not food related, but IT) with chess players who needed 
Internet for a party. So openSUSE was there for their party.
oDid you have a booth? : NUI was the only LUG present. 
oWho staffed the booth? All of the above. 
oWould you go again? Yes, 18th December 
oWhat more can you do to make it better? Swap our 16 or so boxes into 
laptops because it takes too much time to setup the room.  Get hold of goodies.
oOther Comments like Will you blog about the event - and where? Who 
staffed the booth? Did you have a talk? Which topic? Would you organize again? 
We were too eager to go back home.

[opensuse-marketing] Attachmate and openSUSE / open source community.

[Jimmy Pierre]

Greetings,

I am a bit busy because we are having our Software Freedom Day next
Saturday.

Questions to be asked:

1. How do the other distros get funded?
2. Use of openSUSE/SUSE on websites, documents etc. Trademarks, rights to
use images, logos etc.
3. Support from local Attachmate people?
4. Does Attachmate have a community Manager? I could not find one, so I
phoned Seattle yesterday evening. I was handed to Liz an outsourced PR
company.
5. What do we tell our members? Does that involve a change of Memorandum and
Articles of Association, hence bank account, letterheads, business cards,
websites et al?
6. open office is heavily funded by Novell, does that mean that we might
less developers? Other developments in progress?
7. Helen is right, what about our pals at Novell?

Best wishes,
Jimmy

[opensuse-marketing] Report on Software Freedom Day 2010

[Jimmy Pierre]

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 :

[opensuse-marketing] Women in Free and Open Source

[Jimmy Pierre]

Greetings,

My report on SFD 2010 will be delayed because my car was vandalized last night. 
However, while waiting for the paperwork, I had this idea:

Women in Free and Open Source

Most distribution have a women group. How about an openSUSE women group? Hence, 
women ambassadors? I know many women in France that I can approach on this 
matter.

Just my 2 cents :-)

Cheers,

Jimmy
