Just to add to this, if there are any events happening in JA, leave a 
note here on the marketing list and we will add them to our Events

I can see you already have an account and started the page[1].

You can find "most frequently used types of wiki markup" on the 
wikimedia site and from there, there are links on the bottom of that 
page with more markup help pages.[2]


To begin with, I would type in the information/data and then 
format/beautify the page once all or most of the information is on the 
page.


I also often cruise the wiki to see pages that have been formatted a 
particular way that I like and then view the markup text to see if I 
could adapt the text to the page(s) I am working on.

And you're right, any media that can help us to gather people is
welcome. But the Japanese group is far from the French one for example,
I didn't meet enough people to open a FB page, or a G+ or even a twitter
account.

This FB group is META group to discuss how we can start,
continue or manage the LibreOffice offline meetings in each

It's very young, limited target group, but I hope it helps

broader points (not just feature by feature)?

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [tdf-discuss] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?

2012-12-30 Thread Immanuel Giulea
The documentation linked below is from version 6.1 and included integration
with OpenOffice only.
We are assuming that LibreOffice would handle it the same.
OpenERP released version 7 not long ago, and it would be better to confirm
integration, and for them to update their docs.
So far, I couldn't find the v7 docs. And the release notes only mention
Google Docs in general without saying if text documents in .ODT are handled
the same as .DOC format.

Is there a section in the LO docs that integration with OpenERP can be
addressed?

Immanuel

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [us-marketing] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?

2012-12-30 Thread Paolo Debortoli
About Microsoft and Libreoffice I had seen a document  (presented in a 
conference of TDF)  with title:   "Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public 
administration, and how to overcome them  -  Otto Kekäläinen   Free Software 
Foundation Europe – FSFE.org"  with many considerations to take into account 
(for those who don't know them).  It should be still available somewhere.

However eventually someone can talk about advanced required new features.

Apologies for top posting. Marc is right. Immanuel has the lead on this but we 
will all contribute. In the end it should ideally become a nice looking page on 
our website, nof just a wiki page. 

Thanks Immanuel!

I have applied for a Charity Account at Piktochart, which is a cloud
system to produce nice infographics (http://piktochart.com/charity/).
The charity account costs 39,99 dollars per year, instead of 199,99 $
for the Pro Account, and allows to improve the overall appearance of
infographics, and reduce at the same time the effort by using ready made
templates. I do not know if it is possible to have more than one user,
which would be the best solution for the marketing group, but I will let
you know as soon as possible.

Sorry for top posting, but I think that the idea of creating a wiki page
where we can brainstorm about the selling points for Windows (as
Microsoft document is focused on Windows, which is their cash cow) is
very good. All the points that have been raised so far are extremely
good, and I think that we should pick them and paste in a starting document.

I am currently working at the final version of the migration and
training protocol for certification, and I do not have the time for
creating this wiki page for a few days. Anyone could create the page
though, in the Marketing area of TDF wiki:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing

I would call the page "Selling Point vs MS Office", because this is the
summary of the contents.

Marc can definitely help in creating the page, if someone has problems
with the wiki.

I am definitely interested in helping with the contents, once I will
have finished working on the certification protocols.



I think Immanuel has offered to lead on this. I can help with setting up 
the page. I like the good arguments on this thread. We have to make sure 
that we are as factual as possible. MS will capitalize on any claims 
that we make that are not factual, so we have to watch carefully over 
our claims.


Immanuel, let me know if you need any help with the wiki page.

Good timing on the calendar. I was going to suggest having one on the wiki

section, and, on the wiki. You can find the link in our Marketing 
section[1]. The calendar is a Google Calendar and the same information 
is the same on both the website and wiki page.


The website calendar uses the an iFrame and can show more than one 
calendar at a time; the wiki calendar uses a wikimedia plugin, but this 
particular plugin does not allow for multiple calendars.


The admins to the calendar are both Florian and myself. It would be 
great if there were just one more volunteer to help out with the 
calendar. There is very little work to do for it ... probably takes up 
no more than 1hr per month of work -- maybe less.


Cheers,

Marc
