Re: [Marketing] forms generation

Respectfully: Ron Ungemach CNC programmer Cleveland Track Material What you need is a daisy-wheel printer; a rather old-fashioned type of printer that prints much like an electric typewriter. They're probably hard to get nowadays. Another way to solve the problem would be to convince the shipping companies that they should offer an electronic alternative to the carbon forms; f. ex. Xforms, which can be handled in OpenOffice directly. Regards, Finn G. Larsen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Marketing] spreadopenoffice.org -> why.openoffice.org
Hi, Since the spreadopenoffice.org site was closed a long while ago, I have directed the domain name http://spreadopenoffice.org to point to the new WHY! website, http://why.openoffice.org. The redirection occurs in a frame so that spreadopenoffice.org address is kept in the address bar. Therefore spreadopenoffice.org is now an alternative address for the same why.ooo site.

[Marketing] Design ideas for why.openoffice.org
Hello artists, website and marketing experts, (sorry for crossposting, but as wiki seems to be down I try to reach everybody interested and skilled in this cross-project topic - please reply on [EMAIL PROTECTED], if possible. I included [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I hope this information is worth spreading through the native-lang communities and probably all subscribers of [EMAIL PROTECTED] read [EMAIL PROTECTED] too) I'd like to ask you to contribute your ideas (and skills ;-) ) for the design of the why.openoffice.org starting page. As John McCreesh told you in his announcements of the new web area [1] we want to create something to tell people the reasons to use OpenOffice.org (and to contribute to the project). It's starting page will have to be simple, comprehensive, informative, stunning - and attract people to click on the links presented there. There have been some ideas for this page and web area spread over different lists and the wiki, but we'll have to combine our efforts from website, art and marketing point of view to get an optimal result. Attached to Issue 64643 [2] John and myself tried out some first design ideas just to find out how the "Why" homepage could look like. Now it's up to you to join us: _Marketing_: Are these the informations that should be presented on the main page? In addition to the drafts we'd like to include a pop-up list with links to translations of this page and a link to informations about the community and how to join. _Website_ (and Marketing of course): How should these informations be presented to attract the visitor (e.g. decision makers of multitude origin) most? Relative sizes, positions, colors? _Art_: The page should be impressive from the artist's POV too - so join in with comments and ideas. For creating a set of graphics/icons wrt the subpages I'm going to send another mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ideas collected here will be presented in the wiki [3], where we try to coordinate this task without the limitations of working in different projects. Feel free to add your proposals and comments there - I hope it will be up again soon. We *do* have all this expertize inside our projects - so let's use it together!

[Marketing] Wish-list
Hi, Thought of sharing with you some my wish-list items for the Marketing Project in the hope that some of them might interest you: why.openoffice.org: The main action at the moment that would be great to get successfully going is the why.openoffice.org initiative (or WHY! as Bernhard suggested) which should offer convincing arguments for decision-makers in the target markets in an appealing and easy to find way. John and Bernhard are already doing great in getting it going and we need your help and expertise so that the new website quickly becomes a selling point for the product and the community. Surveys and polls: Establish a process for improving the user survey, having it translated in as many languages as possible, extract and analyze the results and use them in decision-making across community. Along with this I hope to get going a way of placing polls on the website for quick feedback from visitors. NLC & Marketing: Another thing I would love to see happening is having more direct involvement from the native language communities in the Marketing Project and marketing lists. Their local marketing experience as well as the talents of their contributors (see for example http://es.openoffice.org and their way of presenting the product and community) are invaluable and if put together, I am sure they can boost worldwide adoption of OpenOffice.org. Art project: Help Bernhard with the Art Project in organizing existing graphics and producing new ones for the community. There is a lot of work to do there and I wish there would be more involvement from our side. Well, that would be it. Apparently a short list but when broken in steps each item might be a project in itself. :-) The next couple of weeks my daily work will allow me little time to contribute than usual, but hopefully after that I'll be able to get involved more.

Welcome Cristian! Great to have you on the project! All the best, Erwin Jacqueline McNally wrote: Hello I would like to announce a new co-lead of the Marketing Project, Cristian Driga. As one of the most active contributors I'm sure you will agree that Cristian needs little or no introduction. Cristian is the Project Lead of the Romanian Native-Language Project and Marketing Contact (MarCon) for Romania. In addition, he has contributed greatly to many OpenOffice.org marketing activities including the development of the market surveys, polls and voting mechanisms, and was the founder of the Art Project together with Vitor. More recently, Cristian has been very active in encouraging and implementing the use of the OpenOffice.org wiki for use by the Marketing Project. I am very enthusiastic about Cristian's why.openoffice.org initiative and the activity that both he and John have promoted these last couple of weeks. The leadership structure remains in place as John and I will continue as the project co-lead and lead respectively with regard to project lead votes. That is, I am the primary voter and John is my deputy. Initially, so that Cristian and John can focus on generating interest and producing why.openoffice.org, I will continue to carry out the project administration. For example, responding to requests to join the project and queries from within and outside our project. Cristian will join John and I in planning and project management. Please welcome Cristian to his new role. Regards Jacqueline McNally Lead, OpenOffice.org Marketing Project OOoCon2006 in Lyon (http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/) Are you a computer angel?
