Re: [Marketing] PlexNex: Microsoft's File Format Lock Slackens
Hello Konrad, your experience is interesting indeed. I know of some unversity in Poland who advertises FOSS, but I didn't know that the market itself was so reluctant to the idea. The idea of security and caution is an interesting one however... Happy New Year, Charles. Konrad wrote: On a partially sponsored meeting (only partially, because there is a little interest in open software in Polish market, because still, although it is 21c. not many bosses know what a computer is and keep it at the secretary's desk because it attracts customers' attention. Many of the company owners think that a free software is an illegal copy or a demo version of some sort :S When I once said free software to one, he turned purple, then green, then red and responded no, we have everything genuine here. Too bad that many of these bosses also think that the software is genuine if they can obtain it on a bazaar) I told the guests of my meeting that OpenOffice.org is very safe, because it asks for every document's script to run or not, and if somebody is suspicious about the script, he can always check the document in any text editor, because it's an Open Document compressed in a zip format :) They enjoyed the idea. Really.

Re: [Marketing] PlexNex: Microsoft's File Format Lock Slackens
For situations like that it, I think that some official printed CDs with nice 4-color sleeves would help. That gives them tangible, if irrelevant, evidence of the authenticity of the software. In a similar context, I've used the Ubunto CDs which are nicely packaged to promote Linux specifically. There's a big hurdle to overcome. BSA, MS, FAST, RIAA/MPAA are all out there with advertisements, shills, and coverage of raids/legal assaults to spread the message that non-MS software is illegal. Sometimes the message is direct, sometimes it is implied, but it targets even non-MS closed source. -Lars Lars Nooden ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog ... ... until you start barking.

[Marketing] 2.0.1 ISO now available.
This is now on the mirrors, and thanks to Mike is available through BitTorrent. There are two images, the first contains the 2.0.1 packages for Windows, Linux ans Solaris (both SPARC and x86), plus an outdated Mac installer (the 2.0.1 Mac installer still has a few important issues, which will be fixed for 2.0.2, at which stage it will be placed on the ISO), plus some selected documentation. The second contains extras, such as Open Clip Art, templates and additional documentation.Although there is an autorun.inf file, there is so far no installer for this. Anyone with the necesary skills who might care to create a suitable graphical installer for these extras is most welcome to do so. The only proviso is that the installer needs to function with all versions of Windows from Win 98 on. It is only necessary to download the first image, the second (extras) image is optional. The images can easily be identified, as the names used reflect the contents. To find them on the servers for FTP/HTTP download, go to your preferred mirror, navigate to the /contrib/iso/en/ directory.

The council meeting (or at any rate the item here) is not about Louis and Jacqueline's actions as much as the ensemble of issues regarding the situation in MP and relate to the two items put before the council by Ian Lynch and Adam Moore, via the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, the preferred vehicle for agenda items. Put another way, afaik, neither Jacqueline nor I are being judged, at least, not as far as I know. Rather, the submissions by Ian and Adam related to clarifying the situation in MP, esp. regarding the sequelae to the DLS messages. Other issues will surely be raised. The time is probably (not yet fully set) Wednesday or Thursday 12-1400 UTC. The agenda can be found on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives.
