[marketing] FOSDEM: We need a T-Shirts slogan/design ...

2008-12-19 Thread Juergen Schmidt

Hi,

the FOSDEM is coming soon, organization is ongoing(see 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Conferences/FOSDEM/2009)


We want to produce some merchandising stuff for our booth. One thing 
should be a T-Shirt (available for a donation - production price + ...)


The time is short for a cool image/design (probably too short take 2-3 
production into account) and the costs shouldn't be too high.  We have 
received 3 drafts but we can't use it because it's too complex for the 
print.


We need something simpler. I think about something like this:

OpenOffice.org 3
   It's free
   It's open
It's simply cool

I created a pure draft (it's of course not good, the gulls are really 
bad) and put it on the wiki. But hey i am no designer and gimp is not my 
best friend (too complicate for me).


But i am sure that others have better ideas and hopefully somebody can 
produce the final design in a more professional way.


I would like to start a brainstorming discussion here to collect ideas 
for a nice T-Shirt. As mentioned before the time is short and we need 
something at the beginning of January.


Please take my draft as a first start and let us collect some better 
ideas...

How about:

  OpenOffice
It's free
   It's open
 Use it 
Prosper

Maybe consider placing a link for Tutorials below to give people a

[marketing] Introduction

2008-12-19 Thread Rosana Ardila

Hello All,

I wanted to introduce myself to the OpenOffice.org marketing project. I 
will be working at Sun until the end of April, also helping with the 
marketing for OpenOffice.org. And I want to use the time to work with 
and in behalf of the OpenOffice.org community.


I am very interested in Free and Open Source Software in general and 
have been using OOo for years, recommending it to everybody. So I'm glad 
to have the opportunity now to do the same in a bigger channel.


I have an idea I would like to share with you and put to discussion. I 
thought it would be interesting to organize a video contest for OOo. 
Short videos (30 secs) would show what OOo and its community are, and 
why the project is so special. Young artists, students and creative 
community members could create great material, from their different 
cultural perspectives.That's just a very short description, I can send 
yo later some detailed information about a possible organization. Let me 
know your thoughts on this.


I am looking forward to working with you and I hope I can give you a 
hand here :)


cheers,
Rosana.

That would be an awesome idea, I have been very interested in new

something together. Right now our new media project OpenOffice.org TV
is a bit stalle. Althought I will push the new OOoCon videos. It would
be nice to have more promotional videos. We also had a OOo channel
which needs much help visibility wise.

If my current situation improve we will be producing original content for OOo.

 members could create great material, from their different cultural

Please do.

Hi Luke,

thanks for the offer i will potentially come back to you depending on 
time etc.


What would be the price for a t-shirt with for example a 4 color print 
and let say 300 shirts or more?

Hi Rosana, sounds a great idea. I will publicise it on our community
site where we have upwards of 3000 school learners doing projects for
their IT qualifications. They could use such a video for their Level 2
certificates. We might also be able to offer some small prizes for the
competition. This is a bit like what we did for the Otto mascot some
years ago and I think it is about time we did something else like this.

 I am looking forward to working with you and I hope I can give you a 
 hand here :)
 
 cheers,
 Rosana.

Indeed the first three can be too much for a T-shirt. Any way not easy 
to produce.
What I would love, is something with the coloured accents from the 
splash screen. The coloured balls are distinctive and attractive.

Your first draft, Juergen, is well, rather basic as you say.

OpenOffice.org only with some visual elements, in an attractive way, can 
be really good. So I am not sure if extra words are needed.

OTOH, one could think about

Free, Cool, Open

on the back, and

  V vo O *
   OpenOffice.org

on the front.


Best,

2008-12-19 Thread Luke Jones
Erm, your probably looking at around £3-6 per shirt, depending on the design 
and whether you want them double sided (front and back) or not. There was an 
auto quote system on our website but its been taken down at the moment due 
to the work demand. You can get a full quote by calling (0151) 334 2300 and 
asking for Mike or Pete with regards to t-shirt prints. I don't work in that 
area so can't give you an accurate price sorry :P
