Good one. I also had this on my to-do list. It would be nice if we could
have something like the sourceforge people who list FOSS events here:
http://sourceforge.net/blog/calendar-of-open-source-software-events/. I
had suggested at one point of combining the sourceforce google calendar
with our own and this would also help us plan for upcoming events. If
you do a search of the marketing/website lists under "calendar" you will
find that there have already been discussions on calendar implementation
either on the wiki or website.

What you suggest would be great, even if it were only a temporary update.

I created the wiki page at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2012 and 
filled
in the events for Europe that I always know.

I added sections for North and South America. Maybe we need also a section for 
Asia /
Australia. It's a wiki, so everyone could create such a section.

I've got the information from Christian Lohmaier that there is calendar add-on 
in our
website (Silverstripe) and we can use it to make our user aware of the events 
we'll
attend next.

Regards,
Andreas
Thanks for doing this. It looks great. I too do not think that past 
events calendar event be deleted. We should use our past events as 
reference for future dates. I would also favour a "website-based" 
calendar as this is the landing point for most users.


About the Silverstripe calendar: when I checked into it a while ago, it 
did not seem to fit some of the criteria that I thought would be 
important for a useful calendar. A useful events calendar, as well as 
being able have all the regular input fields for an events calendar, 
should also offer one of these two abilities:


-- able to categorize events -- when inputting events, we should be able 
to choose the language and/or various other categories such as TDF Board 
meeting, conferences, Plugfests, etc. Users could then filter their 
calendar views as needed.


OR

-- able to add other calendars into a "master" calendar where a user 
could switch on/off the calendar view. This is done extremely well with 
Google Calendar.


Having one or the other of these abilities would give the project all 
the flexibility it would need.


At this point, I would favour embedding a master LibreOffice Google 
Calendar and the various other sections of LibreOffice (TDF SC; 
Developer; Design; Documentation; Marketing as well as the other 
language groups) would create their own calendars and the main 
international calendar could add-on the calendars the other section 
calendars. Then same could be done with the other language groups.


One of the advantages of using the Google Calendar is that we can make 
the calendar public and other groups would be able to embed our calendar 
into their sites. This, from the point of view of marketing, would also 
help us disseminate on a larger scale, any of the LibreOffice events.


This, to me, would permit the needed flexibility in events calendering 
needed by the project. Google Calendar also permits the admin of 
calendars by many individuals. I don't believe we would have any 
problems getting help with getting administrative help from our 
membership as many of us would have enough experience at inputting 
events into a Google calendar.


Cheers,

Marc

Cool - so I take you run some type of email newsletter or newsletters,
yes?

Well, I think it's wonderful that you use, like and want to promote the
package and OSS in general.

I suppose, were I being a bit picayune-ish there are a few small things
I would point out.

The name is LibreOffice, one word.

It is a registered trademark and should be treated as such.

So if I may suggest a small change in wording:

The attached PDF file was created and exported using the Free Open

working for the Digital Commons and promotion of Open Source software.

Beyond that, like I say it's great that you want to be booster for the
package and I hope you will find other ways to interact with and support
the LibreOffice community.

[libreoffice-marketing] Marketing Libre Office with E-mails. From Volodymyr in Atlanta.

2011-11-22 Thread Volodymyr Vladimir I. Druzhshchienschkyj 
Atlanta, Georgia USA 

13:57 (UTC -05) Tuesday 22 November 2011 

 

 

Hello Everyone:

 

The following is my attempt to promote Libre Office and its benefits to 
society.  

 

With many companies they will include advertising in e-mails or SMS that are 
sent without specific user consent.  Examples of this are, "Sent using X, Y, or 
Z hardware", or something similar.  

 

With each e-mail that includes a PDF authored by myself, which is the way I 
prefer to write, I include the following text in the last section of the e-mail 
after the closing and before the legal notifications.  

 

<<<

 

The attached PDF file was created and exported using Libre Office, a Free Open 
Source office suite that is the product of an international collaboration for 
the Digital Commons and that of Open Source .  It is available for Linux, Mac, 
Windows and other operating systems at: 

 

http://www.libreoffice.org    

 

in different languages.  

 

The result of these efforts is such that the quality and dedication is beyond 
what any salaried employee of any major corporation could ever be monetarily 
motivated to deliver.  The Digital Commons and that of Open Source Software, 
forms the foundation for true unrestricted creativity and value-adds, 
artistically, economically, and intellectually.  The Digital Commons and that 
of Open Source Software, does not hold progress and innovation captive to the 
legal force of restrictive licensing agreements.   This is about unrestricted 
Liberty, the future, longevity, and the highest possible evolution of true 
achievements.  

 

>>>

 

The purpose of this to bring attention to the fact there is a real alternative 
to the normal commercial status quo.   Please feel free to use this as you see 
fit and make any alterations.   

 

Is there a section where this can be posted as a project and translated into 
different languages and posted in a marketing section where anyone who wishes 
to use this as an addition to their standard signature and closing can do so in 
their native language?  

 

What I would like is to see everyone who uses Libre Office consider doing the 
same with all their authored PDF communications.

 

All the Best,

 

Volodymyr**
