RE: [marketing] A different Market focus
Linda, you do realize that you not only spammed the mailbox of the
newsgroup, but every one who subscribes to it. There are now two dozen
copies of your request in my mail folders.
I am just another subscriber to this group and I am almost ready to
unsubscribe myself just to keep your e-mails from clogging my mailbox.
As someone else said earlier, once is enough. Send a request to
give them a chance to remove you
from the list.
Thank you.

Re: [marketing] Opportunity to Promote Open Source to the Canadian Government
During the Open source world conference in Malaga there was an initiative to set some guidelines about the way FLOSS should be procured by governments in the EU. This document is still been worked on but you are free to download and review it. I have done some reading on it and looks that there have been working very diligent on having a good set of advice for governments moving to FLOSS. http://www.osor.eu/expert-studies On 2/4/09, Mike Gifford wrote: > Hello, > > Wanted to quickly post this note about an opportunity to respond to an RFI > by PWGSC (the folks responsible for most of the federal government > procurement in Canada).

Re: [marketing] India to launch $10 laptop?
so arguably the most expensive part of the device is the display. It seems this hasnt have a display from what it seems on the pictures and on the articles. Sure OOo can run on this device being at just 2GB storage. But I am a afraid we would need more processing power (RAM was not mentioned). I have a similar issue with the XO laptop that currently is very hard to run OOo on it because there is not enough processing power at being just 433Mhz clockspeed. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification This makes it very hard to run OOo regarding of RAM or storage.

We've written about the opportunity in our blog: http://openconcept.ca/blog/mgifford/gathering_input_about_government_procurement_of_open_source_software But have also pulled out the main questions and put them into a survey format so that others passionate about open source and government can easily add their contributions: http://openconcept.ca/rfi_open_source_software_government If you don't have time to respond to the RFI directly, please take a moment to fill in the survey.

Hi all,
Sorry for getting back to you so late. I think there is interest in the
contest and I agree with Alexandro that it could be a marketing strategy
itself.
I think we could work generally on a video/multimedia strategy for OOo,
not only with the contest. In the next months I will be also working on
videos for OOo, when I have more details I'll ask you for your feedback.
I would like to propose a "OOo video strategy chat". It would be great
to have a live chat, so we can brainstorm and get working. Is anyone
interested in joining me?
I'm kind of a newbie, so maybe you can tell me which IRC channel fits
best for this and what time is the best for all. I would suggest early
next week as a date for the chat.
Back in 2002 at GUADEC in Sevilla some of the active from OpenOffice.org
said some catching lines to a digital camera. I don't remember who had
the camera but Stefan Taxhet, Danese Cooper, Zaheda Bhorat and myself
was some of the ones who said quotes to and got filmed.
Maybe we should plan to film a similar video for the next OOoCon.

I agree that paying profesional developers might be expensive for a one time thing. But a DIY approach might be good enough since the investment could paid off for more than 1 porpouse. Not just developers, but product, events etc. Then the investment create better much greater return.
