Mageia isn't just a Linux distribution: we're a community of +</I>><i> users, developers and advocates from around the world. +</I> +><i> 4. Mageia's Control Center gives you easy-access tools to set up +</I>><i> your hardware, software and more, all in one place. +</I> +for b), we have: + +><i> 2. Free software means choice: KDE, GNOME, LXDE or other desktops; +</I>><i> Firefox, Chromium and other browsers; Thunderbird, KMail, Evolution +</I>><i> for mail... +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 3. Mageia covers your graphics, your video creation and editing needs +</I>><i> with tools like GIMP, Inkscape, Blender... +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 5. For your everyday and office needs, LibreOffice, GnuCash, +</I>><i> KMyMoney and others cover word processing, spreadsheets, +</I>><i> presentations and finance. +</I> +It's probably a good idea to remember the texts we had for Mageia 1: + +><i> * screen 1 : "Thank you for testing Mageia Alpha +</I>><i> 2" (s/testing/using/ for finale) +</I>><i> * screen 2 : "Please give us your impressions - we need your input +</I>><i> to improve on this distribution" +</I>><i> * screen 3 : "We are a great, international community and we will +</I>><i> welcome you when you join us!" +</I> +I have an idea we cleaned those up for the final, and there was +something in there about thanks for trying Mageia. I haven't seen the +installer for quite a while... + +So: I think we're past the place where we thank people for giving us a +try; but we'll never be past the place where we want to say, welcome, +please join us if you aren't already here in the community. That's +partly covered in #1. + +What about if in #1.5, we say something more about people joining the +community? and then we could condense 2, 3 and 5 into two points, and +we'd have our three. + +I'm looking for people to actually write something, and post it back +to the list for us to consider and refine. + +No more than 20 words per installer screen - less if you can manage it! + +I'd like to have something to show Council at the meeting, which is in +about 24 hours, so please get started! + +Cheers, + +-- +Trish Fraser, VVMZ4 91L2V +-35.67896, 142.66637 +Mon Mar 26 08:50:55 EST 2012 +GNU/Linux 1997-2011 #283226 linuxcounter.net +andromeda up 2 day(s), 60 hour(s), 26 min. +kernel 2.6.38.8-desktop-10.mga +-- +-------------- next part -------------- +A non-text attachment was scrubbed... +Name: signature.asc +Type: application/pgp-signature +Size: 490 bytes +Desc: not available +URL: </pipermail/mageia-marketing/attachments/20120326/d074ae8c/attachment.asc> +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000720.html">[Mageia-marketing] Installer images +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000730.html">[Mageia-marketing] Installer images +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#721">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#721">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#721">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#721">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
