[marketing] Re: Education project results WAS [marketing] after FOSDEM 2009
Hi Eric, eric.bachard wrote (10-2-2009 12:28) I have put online my slides, and the patches I commented there : http://eric.bachard.free.fr/FOSDEM2009 [...] thanks for posting this. I did not attend your presentation, but was (when you explained) catched by your enthusiasm and focus on helping up coming developers. I look forward to learn from the new results. As said, I (and probably not me alone) will look how the marketing project can for example pay attention to the work of the education project. Also I've read some "Q&A's" ;-) here and there about what should or should not be included by the education project. I'm not so good at that, but try to focus on the practical side. Showing results, and attracting more people and so on for next steps.

And I'm sorry, but I just report what I learned in the discussion : the students have never heard of Education Project. that might be true but it doesn't meant that it's Sun fault. At least for me it was the first contact with this guy at FOSDEM and it was just the beginning of some collaboration. He contacted Sun for some reason and i promised support where i can independent of any specific project. It doesn't help if you spread such wrong messages. This is not wrong messages, and I perfectly assume what I wrote : Sun behaviour is not clear at all concerning OpenOffice.org Education Project. Sun is supporting the eduction project in the same way as all other projects. Sun is not OpenOffice.org, Sun is part of OpenOffice.org. If people prefer to contact Sun that's fine and we help where we can. Maybe you should think for example about the Seneca collage and should remember who made the contacts over years, it was Louis as the community manager and as a Sun employee and a string supporter of the education project. Again it's not only you who is thinking about the education project or doing something to attract new developers. Now, I'm sorry, but I have better to do, my time is precious, and I'll stop this unconstructive discussion with you there. well that is better and i strongly recommend that you consider your communication style. The only thing you do is to isolate yourself. Don't think in the small sub project world, it doesn't help us. Think more global, the one global OpenOffice.org project. It doesn't really matter in which sub project things move forward. At least not for me, for me counts only the global project with all the tiny important parts.

For example, we traced a crash with Stephan (we found a beginning of fix), and I worked more than one hour with Thorsten, on something complicated (Cairo , color space and OpenGL). Be face to face was the key of the good work. I'll never insist enough about the importance of be together and work together. I just regret the network was not working when Eike wanted to show me his work about formulas and some other important stuff he's working on. Was a great FOSDEM !
