[marketing] new videos for OpenOffice.org
Hello, Carl, the speaker who gave voice to the latest OpenOffice.org video on YouTube, generously offered to work together with us in the future, so we're looking for new videos to come. ;-) This thread is intended to collect ideas for videos. What would attract new users or developers? What would be helpful to have? There are only two limitations: The video must be in English language (as Carl speaks English), and we need someone to produce the video. I count on Rosana for the latter one, but any help and input is welcome!

Re: [marketing] new videos for OpenOffice.org
Well if the video is transcribed, then it could be used to have a voice over. What I mean is generate a new mp3 with the localized voice and merge over the original video. This can be a way to loclize the video. The only problem is we need to host the master video so the quality of the video compression doesnt deteriorate the localized version. So my guess is we could host a master copy of the video without the youtube compression.

I believe this project is extremely important and is greatly needed. Getting detailed user and corporate / institutional adoption information is vital to addressing issues and assessing the market position of the software so that the Community can improve upon OpenOffice.org and resources related to it. Thank you! I hope the outcomes from the research will be not only the investigation of OOo-implementation in one specific organization but also a good questionnaire and the scheme of research what can be used in the other organizations.

Hello Sophie!

Their is also a user feedback program installed as an extension in OOo. May be you should also join the disc...@ux.openoffice.org mailing list and share your work here. I've subscribed to the UX mailing list and added the page http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Perception_Research to the User Experience category. Still iIt seems to me UX project is oriented to user interface issues, but my research project is aimed to social aspects (I don't know yet which ones exactly). Speaking about user interface I can cite one of my interviewees. He said there are two groups of users. The users of the first group started their IT-experience from MS-products and now they know that MS-interface is the right interface (e.g., File Page Format). Transferring of the first group to the open-source IT solutions conducted with assuming new habits. The second group consists of people who hasn't MS-experience. They haven't problems with OOo, Linux, etc. (This is just a hypothesis.) To sum up, if we want to pull over users from MS Office to OOo (one of the goals of my project) operating by user interface we have to make OOo similar to MSO as much as possible. But this is not right, I suppose. We have to find additional pry, and I hope to find it among social aspects. That's why I chose the Marketing project as primary place for the research.

I am from Pskov, Russia; I'm a marketing researcher and also I conduct classes in sociology in local institute. My professional interests are at the intersection of social sciences and IT. I've started a pilot research aimed to find the image of office software suite in general and OpenOffice.org in particular. The subject of survey is the regular users without high level of the interest in IT. E.g. what does a user mean by words I've used OpenOffice for a period of time, but then I've installed normal office suite. What is the normality here, etc. The biggest (and accessible by researchers) organization In Pskov region what uses OpenOffice is Regional Administration (RA). There are 800 workstations, third of them are with OOo. I met with the cio of RA Yuri Kolesnikov and he allowed to conduct the survey among RA employees. I plan 2 stages of the survey. The first one is aimed to get the general picture how OpenOffice is used in RA. The first stage is conducted using interviewing of experts. The first expert became Mr.Kolesnikov. 3 interviews are collected now and I have some interesting information from them. The second stage is planed as quantitative questionnaire survey of RA's employees. Is this project interesting for the community? Are there any similar surveys in other regions?

The issue is, however, that the English video will feature English screenshots, if the program is concerned...

Regards, Gergely Agreed. But if work environment are hostile to technology, schools are even more ruthless. In fact, schools do not *teach* students anything in the IT area. Rather, they *train* them to use specific software on specific hardware. I remember a friend learning word-processing - rather than teaching the principles of formatting, and making the students *think* about what they wanted to do, the entire format of all lessons revolved around teaching them Put your cursor here, select the menu and then select menu_item never any references to either toolbar icons or keyboard shortcuts. Such a procedure is not, by any stretch of the imagination (or the language) teaching. It is pure and simple training. ( I occasionally tutor seniors on computer subjects. My entire focus is on Think what you want to do, Read the screens and There is a keyboard shortcut for almost everything. Even though most are taught on MSO, I'll guarantee that my students will have little problem changing from Office XP to Office 2008 or to OO.o, unlike most students or workers.) -- Alex Fisher Co-Lead, CD-ROM Project OpenOffice.org Marketing Community Contact Australia/New Zealand http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
