Hi Florian,

Thanks again for getting this setup.

Sorry or being dense but just to be sure.

The call today is at 16:00UTC not 17:00 UTC is that correct?
So an hour form now roughly.

The number is the same as last time, and the one found on the wiki 
above, yes?


Thanks

RE: [marketing] Reminder: Call in 50 minutes

2010-02-17 Thread Paula Carmichael

Just attended the marketing meeting and learned a lot.  Everyone is scattered 
all over the world.  Well, that is just great.  I thought about it and feel 
that the best way to get involved is to introduce myself to all.  I am a 
marketing consultant and salesperson.  I specialize in telesales, cold calling 
and lead generation.  I work as a telecommuter finding my own clients.  

 

I got involved with OO simply because I needed Excel for some of my clients and 
tried the 60 trial.  I was satisfied and my clients were satisfied until 
Microsoft hit me with a $500.00 charge to buy the program.  I was livid.  I 
thought it was way too much.  I started researching alternatives and found OO.  
I tried to contribute dollars but realized actual contributions in terms of 
help was valued more.  I want to help spread the word.  I feel sharing programs 
is far more advantages to the growth of computer intelligence than one company 
controlling the computer communication process.  Don't get me wrong, I am all 
for free enterprise but enough is enough.  Computer communication was built on 
a sharing of information process and I think mega, even revolutionary changes 
can occur if it goes back  to its original calling. 

 

By the way, to my clients using Excel I came clean and explained I am using OO. 
 Most of them were crushed having spent the money on Excel 7, the rest 
considered OO a flash in the pan and insisted that they would rather stick 
with something tried and true. But we all agreed as long as I was getting the 
work done and getting results that I could use what I want.

 

If there are specific projects open that you feel I could be helpful with 
please let me know.  I talk about OO everyday because now I use it more and 
more and love that it kept off the Microsoft profit margins and love that it is 
FREE.

Sorry I couldn't come to meet you on the call, but I found your

project and is always refreshing to hear this kind of testimony.

Your skills would be greatly appreciate since well we are not

would be very appreciated. Building awareness is some of the things we
are trying to do all over the world. Participating in technology
events but also going out of our way and talking to non-techies is
something we have tried to address for the longest.

I am sure that we have a lengthy and successful record to prove that
OOo is here to stay. Having 21% of companies in Germany using it, as

requirements. Our biggest issue is getting this data out to the

very valuable volunteer with a lot to teach us.

I thought it could be a possible limitation on our PBX but I've asked
Laurent Godard to give a try also and he got the same result.

I've make a try on the German number and it works but I couldn't stay too
long (I'm not supposed to make international calls)

 Next time, probably also try the Skype gateway if the landline

Skype is not an option for us for technical reasons (firewalls) and
security reasons.
Anyway, it's a very good initiative and I hope you'll go on this way!

Good point



What is the spread sheet about?



Hello Lars,

Well, I simply am taking the numbers released recently regarding office 
suite usage in a number countries, based on installed fonts found and 
asking two questions.


How does that translate to actual number of users?

What then is the overall market penetration of the different suites to 
the actual total of installed desktops?


My approach is fairly simple and hopefully not too simplistic so as to 
be meaningless. I wanted therefore a few others to see what I was up to 
and for them to have the ability to comment.


At this point there isn't anything that I would want to release for 
general consumption, which is why I used a mailing list not totally open 
via the archives.


I would hope to have this generally available, assuming I don't hear 
form folks that it's 'dumb'..you never know..by first of the week, next.


Thanks

Drew

   experience something to always remember how we came in contact with
   this great project. I have volunteered for almost 10 years to the
   project and is always refreshing to hear this kind of testimony.
  
   Your skills would be greatly appreciate since well we are not
   considered expert marketers and maybe some science to this madness
   would be very appreciated. Building awareness is some of the things we
   are trying to do all over the world. Participating in technology
   events but also going out of our way and talking to non-techies is
   something we have tried to address for the longest.
  
  
   
I got involved with OO simply because I needed Excel for some of my 
 clients and tried the 60 trial. I was satisfied and my clients were satisfied 
 until Microsoft hit me with a $500.00 charge to buy the program. I was livid. 
 I thought it was way too much. I started researching alternatives and found 
 OO. I tried to contribute dollars but realized actual contributions in terms 
 of help was valued more. I want to help spread the word. I feel sharing 
 programs is far more advantages to the growth of computer intelligence than 
 one company controlling the computer communication process. Don't get me 
 wrong, I am all for free enterprise but enough is enough. Computer 
 communication was built on a sharing of information process and I think mega, 
 even revolutionary changes can occur if it goes back to its original calling.
   
  
   Many people think to confuse this, however even when the product is
   free, there are many business opportunities to take on like books,
   training, support, and development where individuals and companies can
   leverage from.
  
   
By the way, to my clients using Excel I came clean and explained I am 
 using OO. Most of them were crushed having spent the money on Excel 7, the 
 rest considered OO a flash in the pan and insisted that they would rather 
 stick with something tried and true. But we all agreed as long as I was 
 getting the work done and getting results that I could use what I want.
   
  
   I am sure that we have a lengthy and successful record to prove that
   OOo is here to stay. Having 21% of companies in Germany using it, as
   well as 30% of schools in Spain having it as part of their education
   requirements. Our biggest issue is getting this data out to the
   general population, or rather people that might not know this
   achievements.
  
   
If there are specific projects open that you feel I could be helpful 
 with please let me know. I talk about OO everyday because now I use it more 
 and more and love that it kept off the Microsoft profit margins and love that 
 it is FREE.
  
   You are doing a great job by doing word of mouth and I think this is
   some of my most used techniques. I hope to talk to you through this
   mailing list and maybe next month's call. I think you could become a
   very valuable volunteer with a lot to teach us.
  
   Regards

[marketing] Shortcuts and locale

2010-02-17 Thread jza

I got a question, does localization can affect locale?
There seem to be a small issue with the spanish locale where Ctrl-E shows as Select All (which is correct) but in reality it centers the text (which is the wrong behavior). 
Please let me know if this is an issue from Localization or are shortcuts assigned to the module where it's supposed to be at.

Regards
