[marketing] Revamping the MarCon Initiative
Lately I have been talking with Louis the idean on empowering the MarCon initiative. Intense feedback and training are some of the ideas that I currently have about how to aproach the MarCon initaitve. A list of goals and activities and goals as well as metrics on the performance of the MarCons. Please feel free to make this text richer and more useful to MarCons and please John create a link from the MarCon page to this wikipage.

Best, Charles. Awesome, what could the sales pitch sound like? It seems we have presentations alright, however we need to optimize and categorize the presentations for the right market. We built a brochure in the spanish community with the goal to recruit more members. We could donate it to the general community. This is targeted to students in University. http://es.openoffice.org/files/documents/73/4175/ManualVoluntarioAF.odg -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This makes it easier to organize local FOSS events when several communities are joining and to shares the contacts too. I scheme throught the SMP and locate some points dedicated to the MarCons. Maybe we can cross reference them with the marcon wikipage. -- 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] Greetings to oOo marketing project
Hello everyone, I would like to help in the promotion of OpenOffice.org, particularly to college students. I'm currently an undergraduate student at Yale, and I find that OpenOffice.org is well suited to most college papers and presentations. Price is not a big factor for most students here because the university heavily subsidizes Microsoft products. Nevertheless, I am able to win converts via the included PDF export functionality alone. My immediate goal is to include OpenOffice.org in the IT introduction that is given to all students by students at the beginning of the year; ultimately (and this is in the very far future), I hope to convince the school to install OpenOffice.org network-wide and promote it as recommended software for university computing. I'm interested in contributing, distributing, or helping out in any way I can. So far, I've been trying to convert my immediate circle of friends and frantically emailing various IT staff; any pointers to work that needs to be done are welcome. Thanks!

Sincerely, Yuhan Fang Excelente Yuhan, This is something we would all apreciate to have people promoting OOo in their orgaaniztion/school. I would also want to aply the same recomendations we give to Campus reps in Mozilla. - Get or join a group of friends (SIG) - Organize lightning talks at your campus - Advocate and recruit people to the OpenOffice.org community - Explain how we work and how they can be a part too - Address the importance of open standards like OpenDocument and benefit of usng free/open source software. -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [marketing] Greetings to oOo marketing project
Yuhan, I'm located in New York City and have long been interested in promoting OOo at schools and universities. I'm happy to provide advice, support and information to share around campus... I think you should look for an existing organization to link up with, like Linux user groups or Free Culture groups, to find others who will help you--it's easy to get burned out when fighting the natural inertia of a big institution all on your own. Can you sign up to be a technology columnist for the school newspaper? Then you can talk about open source and OpenOffice frequently to a wide audience. Please drop me an email and we can talk about specific tactics you can employ on campus, and as you go forward, can share them with the wider world to replicate at other universities. And I think Alexandro is right that Firefox has provided a good example of things to do with its Campus Reps program. If Yale has some, you should contact them and see if you can work together (get them to promote OOo in addition to Firefox). Thanks for joining the list, and I wish you great success! -Ben On Jul 28, 2008, at 4:24 PM, Yuhan Fang wrote: Hello everyone, I would like to help in the promotion of OpenOffice.org, particularly to college students.

Re: [marketing] Greetings to oOo marketing project
Hello Yuhan Fang, This will not provide you a complete answer -other did-, but I'd like to promote a project nobody mentionned, but who basically should interest students :-) For that, I'd suggest you to have a look at OpenOffice.org Education Project (who is an incubator project) For example, to answer curious students, you could talk about our website : http://education.openoffice.org ( yes we need web designers to improve it, and more people involved) Other information you can add is about our very active wiki page : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project e.g. : - to attract new developers writing code for OpenOffice.org Project, we created dedicated effort : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/ wiki/Education_Project/Effort - and to explain how OpenOffice.org Development works, we even created and started ClassRoom : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/ wiki/Education_ClassRoom Some great devs from Sun joined the effort, and did very good lectures (like Philipp Lohmann and Mathias Bauer). Other are scheduled (to be confirmed). We really need help, promotion and a lot of things to become a real project ( Education is only Incubator project today), so everybody is warmly welcome, and if you could inform about the existence of Education Project (what is basically intersting in Campus), I'd be gratefull :-) Last but not least, if you need futher information, we have a dedicated IRC channel, for the one who have questions, or have questions, or even are curious : Server : irc.freenode.net Channel : #education.openoffice.org I Hope this will bring you further information, making your presentation more consistent, e.g. in front of curious students :-) Best regards, Eric Bachard Le 28 juil. 08 à 22:24, Yuhan Fang a écrit : Hello everyone, I would like to help in the promotion of OpenOffice.org, particularly to college students.

[marketing] Congrats OOo! Best Project Winner - Sourceforge Community Choice Awards
... and best project for the enterprise ... and best project for educators Linux got most likely to change the world, but still, OOo came on top! Somewhat ironically, Microsoft is the diamond sponsor of the contest. http://sourceforge.net/community/cca08 How about featuring these great awards on the homepage? A pat on the back for everyone! - Ivan.
