Re: [marketing] Taking advantage of the advertising downturn
Richard Rothwell skrev:
Hi,
Given the current downturn in TV and press advertising in the UK (and
probably most of the rest of the world), is it possible to raise enough
money to fund a small ad campaign for OO.org?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/3437837/TV-advertising-now-cheapest-on-record.html:
Researchers calculated that the cost of 30 seconds of television
advertising now costs just £4.81 per thousand adults. - and that was last
November. Alternatives include cinema and press, which are possible.
Am I being absurd? Is this possible? Is it impossible to raise, say £10k
for such a project? I'd put in £100 if 100 others did - something like
pledge bank?
Many of the money used for tv commercials is creating the commercial it
self.
I have an idea to just use Impress and save it as a Macromedia Flash
which is just filmed from a computer visiting the website where the
commercial is. First in a small browser window which is later enhanced
to most of the screen showing the zooming of a Flash presentation to the
actual window size
This is created only using
the presentation application
OpenOffice.org Impress
- exported as a Flash file
- uploaded at a webpage
- which is filmed by a camera
OpenOffice.org is a full office suite
with the textwriter
spreadsheet
drawingtool
and database
Get it for free at OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org (zoom the windows to almost nothing)
No sound at all which will attract the viewer because they are used to
loud commercials so they be concerned that there suddenly is no noise in
an advertising block.
Just my idea to do it - cheap.

Why don't you export the presentations as Macromedia Flash (.swf) files?
Then all can see them directly in their browser (if they have a Flash

Great introduction to get into the source code.

Because I'm a Linux user on platforms since a long time (more than 10
years) and it was badly working since a long time (e.g. on Linux
PowerPC), so I don't have the habits to export in such formats :-)
Nevertheless, if someone want to export them as MacroSomething ( tm,
propriatory, Adobe), no problem for me. Really :-)
Would you have the Flash-versions along the others?
Then I will send them to you so you can upload them.

Me ? :p
Sorry, but that's true : I don't use flash at all ..
I didn't either until two years ago - also a Linux-user (since 1998).
The Flash-version zooms so it fits the size of the browser window or
frame. And you just click at the slide to go to the next. Very smart if
you want a presentation on your website.

Re: [marketing] video contest idea / chat meeting?

Hi all,
Sorry for getting back to you so late. I think there is interest in the
contest and I agree with Alexandro that it could be a marketing strategy
itself.
I think we could work generally on a video/multimedia strategy for OOo,
not only with the contest. In the next months I will be also working on
videos for OOo, when I have more details I'll ask you for your feedback.
I would like to propose a OOo video strategy chat. It would be great
to have a live chat, so we can brainstorm and get working. Is anyone
interested in joining me?
I'm kind of a newbie, so maybe you can tell me which IRC channel fits
best for this and what time is the best for all. I would suggest early
next week as a date for the chat.
Back in 2002 at GUADEC in Sevilla some of the active from OpenOffice.org
said some catching lines to a digital camera. I don't remember who had
the camera but Stefan Taxhet, Danese Cooper, Zaheda Bhorat and myself
was some of the ones who said quotes to and got filmed.
Maybe we should plan to film a similar video for the next OOoCon.

Re: [Marketing] Goodbye and Good Luck
On Wed, 21 Dec 2005, Jacqueline McNally wrote: The OpenOffice.org project guidelines suggest communications of these types of decisions privately, and I remember you yourself said praise on-list and critique off-list. Yes critique - but telling MarCons to leave their position is not critism but kicking them out. I disagree with this approach when it comes down to the situation we have at hand. You don't know what the situation will be - some will leave without saying nothing at all others (like Ryan) will say goodbye in a quiet way and I would have fought if it was me. OpenOffice.org is an open source project and you cannot use the usually business or corporate way to manage situations. Kicking people off the projects without taking an open discussion and hearing what the rest of the project members have to say is not the open source way - not if it have to succeed in the long run. If you only criticise off list then only the one who is criticised will see what is criticizable so the rest of the project members does not learn from it. And the rest of the project members can't respond if your critism is wrong. You can view criticizable behavior as a bug - and in open source projects bugs are discussed openly. I will only now consider public critique to Ryan at his request. When you become a member of an open source project you will be a target of public critic - escpecially from you peers. The Project Leads are responsible for the recruitment of and liaison with MarCons. Usually, potential candidates contact us, as two did earlier this week. The What Do MarCons Do? is a minimum, and I'm happy to say that most of the MarCons exceed these requirements. And where did Ryan not meet the What Do MarCons Do?? http://ooosmp.homelinux.org/GoalsandObjectives/MarketingProject The most enjoyable greetings -- Claus Agerskov ###= Analyze OpenOffice.org Co-lead/owner #=== Requirements Project Management Tool [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design/model Subproject http://ooo.chbs.dk/ Implement http://oopm.openoffice.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Marketing] Is Massachusetts' OpenDocument decision on the rocks?

The company has attacked Quinn's plan, saying it will impose unnecessary costs on state government. I don't know the source for Microsofts attack where they say implementing the OpenDocument format will impose unnecessary costs. As I see it it is Microsoft who is imposing unnecessary costs on state government. And here is why: Microsoft will impose their own Microsoft Office Open XML Format in Microsoft Office 12 which is planned to be released in 2006. This format will not be under a license that OpenOffice.org can use and therefore Microsoft impose offices who would otherwise use OpenOffice.org to migrate which is a significant cost. If Microsoft chose OpenDocument as one of their supported formats for both reading and writing then the offices using Microsoft Office today could still be using Microsoft Office (the new version 12) so they would not have higher costs than migrating to Microsoft Office 12 only with the Microsoft Office Open XML Format. So as long as Microsoft Office is not supporting the OpenDocument format then Microsoft is imposing unnecessary costs on state government. I hope anyone within OpenOffice.org Marketing know who could rewrite this to correct English and give it to the right sources so it is heard that it is Microsoft who impose - not the choose of OpenDocument - unnecessary costs.

I see it as a problem that you have to install Java to run some of the things that is important for new users like running the database and the Writer wizards. When a new user has installed OOo then they might face that it is not working properly and gets error messages because an Java Runetime Environment isn't installed. Then they will not see OOo as a whole suite but a suite missing some key features when installed. It is also a problem that you can't sell OOo as a free solutions where you don't have to depend on one single company - one of the key features of Open Source. You are not depended on a single company strategy like putting fees on the runtime environment. I will suggest Sun to either license the Java Runtime Environment under a true Open Source and Free Software license or recode the parts of OOo which are depending on Java.
