Re: [Marketing] Release date for V2?

[Craig Adams]

Hi Jean,

I don't think so. According to the releases list, a review of
outstanding issues etc is scheduled to be completed on 20 June.

I think that we will be looking to enter a Release Candidate phase
rather soon after depending on the results of the review.

Regards

Craig A.

[Marketing] Release date for V2?

[Jean Hollis Weber]

Are we still on track for release of V2 sometime this month (June)?

I looked on the codeline page 
(http://development.openoffice.org/releases/OpenOffice_org_2_x.html) which 
still says V2 in June, but I was wondering if anyone knew something more 
specific or up-to-date. Trying to work out when I need to go into full 
panic mode about getting user guides done. :-)


Thanks.

Jean

Thanks for this email.  This is very good news.  Microsoft must just be 
grinding their teeth.  

I have posted this info on the front page of the Digital Tipping Point website:

Subject: [Marketing] Google's Summer of Code

Hi,

Google are running a 'summer of code' program to introduce students to 
open source software development. A student will receive $4,500 for 
completing an open source project. There are several participating 
organisations including the gnome, apache, python and perl foundations 
and ubuntu linux.

The web site, at the following link, includes details of the program and 
how to become a mentoring organisation:
 


I think this could be a good opportunity for OOo to join in and get some 
new developers during the summer, working on items on the to do list for 
example.

Thanks

What I've seen you can get bulks of 2500 pins between .50 and .70 USD
per pin if that helps anyone.

Hello Florian:

Hmm... looks like I could spread some OOo then! Well, I am currently
in school (I get out next week) and over the summer, and I do small
computer jobs such as repairs. Currently where I live, there seems to
be a lot of computer competition. We've just had a small computer
business move in and a lot of the teens like me also do some small
work!

I would possibly take a small order of 100 pins. I'll pay anything
under $100USD if that's possible. If not, when you get a quote, tell
me the approx. amount per pin and I can give you an exact amount.

Thanks!

Travis Newton

Re: [Marketing] Production of pins for OpenOffice.org

[Travis Newton]

Hello Florian:

I think the pins would be a great idea. Once it gets the go ahead,
please let me know. Also, would you happen to know the approx. cost in
USD for a pin?

I also like the t-shirt idea too. Except, for general marketing, could
just get t-shirts with the OOo and no slogan so it isn't all "language
based".

Thanks!

Travis Newton

Hello Florian, 

I'm based in Paris, France, but that doesn't really matter actually. I'm
going to forward your mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if NL project
leads are responding. Then, together with the Marketing Project, we
would pass an order for the pins.

Best,

Charles-H. Schulz,
Lead of the Native-Lang Confederation,

Hello Florian,


thank your for this initiative. Well, I can't speak for everybody here,
but surely it would be interesting to get these pins. The only question
now is, how do we organize ourselves in order to buy them in bulk? 

Best,

Charles.

[Marketing] Production of pins for OpenOffice.org

[Florian Effenberger]

Hello fellow colleagues,

my name is Florian Effenberger and I'm the marketing contact for the 
German language OpenOffice.org project (http://de.openoffice.org). We 
currently evaluate and design marketing material for exhibitions and as 
"fan art", i.e. for our booth personnel as well as for interested users. 
Some material, like the t-shirts with a German slogan, is 
language-dependend, some isn't.


One of the marketing goodies we currently evaluate are pins you can wear 
on your shirt. They will only contain the OpenOffice.org logo, so they 
would be usable for all subprojects. As it is much cheaper to produce 
them in a huge amount than to produce only a few for our next 
exhibitions, I would like to ask you if you are interested in having 
(read: buying) such pins for your project or if they are already 
available. If you are, we could organize a mass-ordering that leads to 
cheap prices and distribute them among the projects. We specially think 
of the OOoCon in September where these pins could get really useful and 
handy. ;-)


I'm only subscribed to the digest version of this list, so please bear 
with me and, if possible, reply with my e-mail address in the Cc.


Looking forward to hearing from you!

Greetings from Germany
Florian
