-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
My name's André. I joined the arts list some days ago because i felt that some of the OOo marketing material is in serious need of optical improvement. Then some days ago i had an idea that is more about the marketing approach than about it's design. Sometimes getting pissed off by the fact that marketing basically is a generally from all sides accepted celebration of the art of lying, i asked myself if an OpenSource project wouldn't have a basis of openness, trustfullness and investigatability that would enable a marketing campain that makes a strong point in truth and facts. What i thought about was a marketing campain that admits and makes a point about that there are more than 7000 open bugs in the issue tracker, that would admit, that switching to OOo needs training, that would confidently state that OOo is not perfect, but that it is good enough etc. etc. . I figured that for this to work, it would need to be based on a lot of facts and the problem with it takes some brains and not easily accessible facts to actually convince a potential "customer" that 7000 open issues is a good thing. (i.e. make a point of that it means the reporting framework is working well, about how quickly they are fixed, compare them to the overall number of features/functions so you get a buggy/nonbuggy feature comparison etc.). In lack of getting such facts quickly, i changed my approach a bit and made some quick sketches of a similar enough approach. The results can be found here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65362 (Sorry, that i posted it as "DEFECT", was an accident.) This could potentially be posters, banners, whatever. I'd be happy to get some comments on this. André. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEaWiiEOp8fsnyxsQRAtG/AKDbKyvBbIlGFXrfCK1Eah9P5eAKZQCgllah n19pM6iXZsgkU/0ybfC6H3s= =fbpj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
