[libreoffice-marketing] LibO Slogan
There was some bantering back and forth a while ago with different words. Should we develop a slogan for LibO? Should we develop a different slogan for each language or have a translation of one slogan for languages? Here are a few of my suggestions: "LibreOffice, a suite deal." "Memories brought to you by LibreOffice" "Take note, with LibreOffice." "Penmanship begins with LibreOffice." "There was the calamus, the ballpoint pen. LibreOffice, the evolution continues." "LibreOffice, your creation, your company, your trust." "LibreOffice ... we are all free to live." "LibreOffice, we dared and we conquered." "We conquered space, we created LibreOffice. Dare to imagine and you will succeed" Marc -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Maybe I am paranoid, but I think we should avoid: names that remind one of competitive software. So I would not recommend: – Take note... because of OneNote and Lotus Notes – We conquered space... too far away I like: – LibreOffice, a suite deal – With LibreOffice, you really are in control of your documents (i.e. reference to open file formats) – LibreOffice: your documents, you're in control! In French, these would work, depending on how much text we want: – LibreOffice, une suite qui a de la classe – Avec LibreOffice, vous avez plein contrôle, jusqu'au bout ! – LibreOffice vous permet d'être maître de vos documents ! -- Michel Gagnon Montréal (Québec, Canada) -- http://mgagnon.net -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibO Slogan
Hi Marc, all, this topic is one I like very much :-) A few years back we had a similar activity in the OOo marketing project with lots of proposals, a voting and finally one official slogan (positioner) for OpenOffice.org. ("Open. For Business") (Search the OOo marketing list archive for "positioner") Marc Paré schrieb: There was some bantering back and forth a while ago with different words. Should we develop a slogan for LibO? Definitively yes! Should we develop a different slogan for each language or have a translation of one slogan for languages? Most of the slogans don't translate easily. But we should try to find a common central conclusion. Here are a few of my suggestions: "LibreOffice, a suite deal." "Memories brought to you by LibreOffice" "Take note, with LibreOffice." "Penmanship begins with LibreOffice." "There was the calamus, the ballpoint pen. LibreOffice, the evolution continues." "LibreOffice, your creation, your company, your trust." "LibreOffice ... we are all free to live." "LibreOffice, we dared and we conquered." "We conquered space, we created LibreOffice. Dare to imagine and you will succeed" Marc Would you mind to position them on a new wiki page? As the list will probably become longer, it might be problematical to work on them here at the list.

If it was CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA you'd be OK. The issue is that it is a CC-BY-NC license, and the proposed usage meets the criteria of "commercial endeavour".

Since your standard is to contact the license holder, prior to distribution, to verify that the proposed usage is acceptable to them, then you are doing the required due diligence.
