Re: [marketing] OpenOffice as best open source of 2009
Hi Ben, Benjamin Segura wrote on 2010-02-10 17.26: I am Ben, from Redaccenir, an spanish company. We have held a contest to find the best open source software of 2009 in our software site PortalProgramas and OpenOffice.org has been one of the most voted: http://www.portalprogramas.com/premios-mejor-software-libre/ these are excellent news, thanks a lot for sharing! Thanks to the impact in media, more than 12.000 people has taken part on it. As our users have chosen you as one of the best open source apps we have donated 500 euros to support your development (donation managed by your partner Alexandro Colorado). Thank you very much for your support, this is truly appreciated! I'll talk to Alexandro on how to best use this money. I attach you an award which in fact is a proof of OpenOffice worth for Spanish and Latin America people. You could publish it on your awards page. Our mailing lists do not permit attachments. Can you send it to me directly via e-mail? Then I'm happy to add it to our news section.

It'll take a few tries to refine the methods and instructions. there's no need for SIP calls. We have a free hosting offer by talkyoo, they offer several landline dialins as well as Skype. So we don't need to struggle with SIP. :-) Florian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

So we don't need to struggle with SIP. :-) The instructions on how to connect without Skype seem to be missing from the page: http://www.conference-call.me/ In addition to being proprietary in both the software and protocol, Skype's not supported by more than a small fraction of the architectures and platforms that OOo supports. It'd be wonderful to take up Talkyoo's kind offer of sponsorship without digging out a special machine for skype.

I'm open for other options, but the feedback received so far concerning alternatives tended to zero, so I consider talkyoo our best choice atm.

The Asterisk option looked good and that's where it looked like OOo marketing was heading. Talkyoo was presented as an SIP option, since it was presented as a solution during discussions of finding SIP services. I'm looking at Ekiga and it has conference services that any SIP client can dial into. What did your contact at talkyoo say about SIP or H323? Even skype supports (or claims to support) SIP so talkyoo might be supporting it. /Lars - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

I wonder if there is additional slots of times, the schedule seems a bit too early for me. Althought I am perfect on the 5-6 pm UTC I wouldnt mind additional slots later that day.

Hi Lars, Lars Nooden wrote on 2010-02-12 14.50: It's user talkoo_skype, just add it and then you can join. That would be connecting *with* skype. what did you mean? SIP needs bandwith and doesn't work reliably behind NAT and firewalls. That may have been correct a while back, but not lately. Wrong. SIP does *not* work reliably at all with NAT. It needs strange playing with STUN and SIP proxies to get it to work, even on recent hardware. IAX would be the protocol of choice, but it isn't supported by most hardware. The Asterisk option looked good and that's where it looked like OOo marketing was heading. Talkyoo was presented as an SIP option, since it was presented as a solution during discussions of finding SIP services. No, talkyoo never was presented as SIP option. The SIP option would have been to run our own Asterisk server connecting to various SIP providers, like sipgate. However, the amount of replies was ONE, only Davide sent in a suggestion. If no one is really willing to invest time in it, I can't help, sorry. I asked many many times to look up SIP providers in various countries, and only one reply. To me, it seems no one is interested. I'm looking at Ekiga and it has conference services that any SIP client can dial into. What did your contact at talkyoo say about SIP or H323? They only offer landline + skype. And SIP alone doesn't help -- neither the people who are on low bandwith, nor thosee behind firewalls. We at least need landline connection, plus optionally SIP and Skype.

Drew, all, I have the files needed to get started on the CDs for the conference. I just need an idea of how many I need to burn. How do I go about getting the labels? Still waiting on the Art project for the banner art, trying to tie in with the 10 anniversary. I finally have a good pamphlet, how may do we need? Any idea how many of the Library flyers we will need? Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
