[marketing] New project to be started - anybody interested in branding and visual design?
Hi all, sorry for cross-posting, but this is the only way I know to reach all the relevant groups. Please - DON'T use REPLY ALL when you reply to this mail! Best follow up would be on disc...@openoffice.org, otherwise stay on the list you are subscribed to (I'll collect the replies) or use the talk page of the wiki page mentioned below [1] === content starts here: === OpenOffice.org branding is not as consistent as it should be to have optimal effects on recognition by the users and the feeling of belonging together by community members. To improve this situation, people from different OOo projects (Art, Website, UX, Marketing...) are going to start a new project for corporate branding and visual design. This new project will try to combine the efforts done in several areas (including the product, our website, marketing, documentation etc.) to come to and support a general branding design for OpenOffice.org. Before we start the formal project proposal [2], we want to inform the relevant groups about our effort and invite you to discuss everything you'd like to be addressed on that topic. Please have a look at the wiki page we created: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Design_Artwork_and_Branding_Project_Proposal If anybody is interested in becoming part of this work, don't hesitate to add yourself to the list at the bottom of the page [3].

Re: [marketing] ODF desktop icons for OOo

I remember how annoyed I was when I installed an early beta of Lotus Symphony and it replaced all my OOo desktop icons with the horribly garish IBM ones. As ODF becomes established, users may well have multiple ODF supporting applications on their desktops. So IMHO having all those applications sharing a standard set of desktop icons is not terribly useful. Users need to know what application will start when they click an icon.

Plus you can add comments and discussions, and overally speaking more web 2.0 (sharing to fb, twitter, wordpress etc). Ah, that makes sense, if people use it of course. The disadvantage is that OCS keeps track of the number of views for each presentation. It will be useful for next year's OOoCon to know which presentations were the most interesting...

Re: [marketing] OOoCon Videos

Is there a way I can get a FTP/HTTP download URL for these videos. Also they seem to be chopped by day as opposed by talk. Any efforts on cataloging them? The videos are available on http://media.lscube.org/oooconf. For people who can't access these, I've copied the source .ogg files to the OOoCon website, and you can download them from there. They range from 58Mb - 595Mb in size. The files are named video_43.ogg to video_60.ogg, and can be downloaded from http://conference.services.openoffice.org/index.php/ooocon/index/manager/files/OOoCon2009_videos/video_43.ogg?download=1 etc. Note that you have to be logged in to OCS to do this. Unfortunately I haven't got an index of these files. Each file contains a number of conference sessions, and as you say it would be great if some kind person could chop each file into separate conference sessions. We could then store each .ogg file on the web site alongside the presentation.

The art project is working on icons that include both symbols - ODF as well as another to recognize the application. There are first drafts only, but there might be a possibility to promote ODF as well as keeping the necessary information about the application.
