Re: [marketing] OOo 2.4 release notes
Hi *, Erwin Tenhumberg wrote (15-2-2008 9:13) O.k., I took a very first stab at the release notes for OpenOffice.org 2.4 by moving content from the Feature Freeze Testing 2.4 wiki page to the following page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.4 Great was has been done while I was at a location in 'Hamburg' (*). Now I've done some editing - which is really fun: rewriting tech-talk for users :-) Not yet finished, but a question already: The part http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.4#New_Features_in_OpenOffice.org_2.4 is still blanc. For the 2.3 release it looked like: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#New_Features_in_OpenOffice.org_2.3 This info is more marketing-talk. Can we move it to another page, or leave it there, so that users interested in features details have to scroll further down?

Re: [marketing] the scienctic archive arxiv supports docx, but not OO (still)

Can somebody please tell me who would be willing and qualified to help on this issue? There are many development shops that do this type of work. I dont think a community will engage in a project for a specific company that is just not what we do. But we can certainly point you to pieces of software or companies that are familiar with ODF. Also this is more of an ODF implementation more than OpenOffice.org in itself. So that means that you can have more luck going to places like odfellowship.org where more independent vendors develop for ODF. regards Uwe Brauer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[marketing] Mozilla does it again... this time is Japan
For all of the marketing effort OOo has had. Mozilla seems to be 1 (or 5 steps) above. This time I just saw something that well... put our initiative to pure shame. The mascot is Foxkeh done by Mozilla Japan. In true anime-japanese style Foxkeh has been producing a full character with different poses (not just a static gull). This is a great design element. Yes the animal is also cartoonish and is not just cartoonish but also have a live coverage of what mozilla Japan does from their offices. Here are some videos from the MozilaJapan Youtube Channel: http://www.foxkeh.com/ foxkeh blog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_OSd9lGKkI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxnFZ4KwLV4feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3nhKAOjT3Efeature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk5jJMGCgPMfeature=related and yes, Girls with foxy ears look cute. -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
