openSUSE Release Process » openSUSE 13.1 Release

Tips for coordinators and contributors to this task:

1. When the messages are created, the wiki pages where the 13.1 content that needs to be referred won't be published and ready. cwh needs to provide the correct links to the Social Media coordinator so they are included in the messages to be created before they are translated. translators need to have the correct links in place to properly translate.
2. Social Media messages should include links to the contents that describe or reinforce the message: feature page, highlights, announcement, portal page, download page....
3. Hashtags must be agreed and carefully placed. Translators should consider adding reference to openSUSE accounts or pages in their own language.
4. Messages should be slightly different for different social media portals.
5. Create specific article for slashdot alike pages so it can also be translated since most countries have these kind of collaborative news portals.
6. Follow the examples for 12.3
7. Remember that pictures are very welcome. There are plenty of this release screenshots available.
8. The earliest the message are done in English, the more time the translators will have to translate, we will have the messages in more languages so the impact of our campaign will increase.
9. Pings translators only after the task is done and revised. There is no easy way back to revert errors.
10. Channels administrators should be listed and in sync for the release.

Thanks for the tips, Agustin.

I've contacted Chuck and Ilias, am hoping they are willing to (help) take this task on them!

Next week we should be able to make a first draft of the messages.

Hey Jos and Agustin,

I will be available to help with the creation of the social media messages.

Talked to Ilias, he would work on the social media guide today. Did not have time myself.
