Hi all,
The i or I issue: please consider that the OEM label will not have the
size it has on your screen, and that it will be printed, which uses a
higher LPI then the 72 DPI on your screen, so any dot on screen could be
divided into minimum 5 upto 50 lines per dot. This changes the
scharpness and perception. The best way to visualise a small (say 1x1")
label is to show it as large as possible on a screen and then take
distance to look at it. This is the closest to a match you will get.
When printed, the I can be an l. Each one of you looking at the label
knows it says included. A first time viewer does not know. This results
in a readability issue that should not be one, since it is been widely
accepted to use *either* capitals or minuscules (french word I do not
know the englisch word for lower case letter) in one word or even in a
sentence:
THIS IS A HEADLINE
this adds something to it
@ John: Leading a marketing project demands vast knowledge of marketing
techniques (if you know nothing about print, you should find someone who
knows and trust their knowledge. This goes for any other technical
aspect you might encounter when trying to market a product.) as well of
people management to obtain the maximum measurable result. OOo marketing
is about the most uncoordinated marketing effort I have *ever* seen and
believe me I have seen a lot.
As Ian says, why bother using one of the OEM labels created by OOo's osn
art project and voted by the marketing members, if their marketing co
lead sends out a message that the arts project effort to come to a OEM
label by using a democrative way to decide, is useless and they should
all be available?
My advice to the art project would be: take your own responsability and
vote among art project members. Then present the OEM label on a page and
say this is the official one.
John, it is time to wake up from the dream that Open Source is the same
thing as: do whatever you like whenever you feel like it and how you
want to do it I basically don't care as long as you do it. This works
fine if all volunteers would be professionals and be in some sort of a
self-organising universe that works without intervention... It is a
*dream never to come true*.
The OOo marketing community is crying out loud for some organisational
management and the marketing PL does not give a sh*t.
If it is a problem of time, pre-occupence or knowhow.... the best way to
solve that problem is to actually let some people take some
responsability and not trying to restrict everything to a bundle that
fits your hand so you can hold on to it.
I do not know why I even bother trying to explain all this... Marketing
PL says: euh... we do it this way... and that ends all discussion. How
about being open to experience and knowledge? And I am not talking about
mine...
