[marketing-dev] Oracle Announces Its Intention to Move OpenOffice.org to a Community-Based Project
As a community member I request you to join with the document foundation and continue the further development. If you really want to make this as a community project you should listen to the community. :) The Document Foundation is not the competitor but proprietary products such as MS Office. If Oracle joined with the document foundation, it will be a great decision. http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Oracle-Announces-Its-Intention-to-Move-OpenOfficeorg-to-a-Community-Based-Project-NASDAQ-ORCL-1428324.htm -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin http://identi.ca/danishka -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@marketing.openoffice.org with Subject: help

OO.org is not the only project I am working. Fedora, Mozilla let there community to talk about those projects. And they motivate volunteer contributors. As we don't have a separate Marketing Offices in each country we have to take the support of volunteers. None of us can't attend all the events in a country and its not practical. I strongly recommend we must let others to use OO.org logo and templates for OO.org related presentations. > As far as I know we don't have a system to define such representatives, but > we should create one. > > CC'ing Florian as he had some negative experiences in the past and might > comment... > > 3.

They can't control every thing. If they want to do so, let them to do the OO.org marketing as well. We are here not because of Oracle or Sun. Just because of OpenOffice.org. I love OO.org and sponsor will be change time to time but we will not change due to the sponsor. What I am expecting is 'Sponsor should support us but he should not control us. Please tell me, will Oracle send a person to Sri Lanka to promote OO.org if I resign from this project? They want to promote only Oracle Enterprise Office and get the initial work (l10n, customer feedback) done via OO.org to make stable Oracle Enterprise Office.

[marketing] Fwd: [FSF] FSF launches free software extension listing for OpenOffice.org
FYI -- Forwarded message -- From: John Sullivan Date: Sat, May 8, 2010 at 1:50 AM Subject: [FSF] FSF launches free software extension listing for OpenOffice.org To: info-...@fsf.org, info-pr...@fsf.org BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Friday, May 7, 2010 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced a project to assemble a replacement extension library for OpenOffice.org, which will list only those extensions which are free software, at <http://www.fsf.org/openoffice>. "OpenOffice.org is free software, and an important contribution to the free software community. However, the program offers the user a library of extensions, and some of them are proprietary. Distributing OpenOffice.org in the usual way has the effect of offering users the nonfree extensions too," said FSF executive director Peter Brown. The FSF asked the OpenOffice.org Community Council to list only free software extensions, or to provide a second independent listing which only included free extensions, but they declined to change their policy. Therefore, the FSF has launched an effort to assemble a replacement extension library, which will list only the extensions that are free. Any OpenOffice.org user will be able to use the new library instead of the usual one just by making a simple configuration change. It will not require any change in the code of OpenOffice.org itself. At this stage, the FSF is looking for volunteers to check the licensing on existing extensions and identify the free ones, providing a short descriptive text for each of them so they can be listed in the new library. They have started a mailing list for coordination, and a project page on the LibrePlanet.org wiki with instructions for how users and developers can make a contribution to the effort. They are at <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/openoffice-extensions-discuss> and <http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions>. Once the library is ready, the FSF will be asking volunteers to help develop free replacements for the nonfree extensions that OpenOffice.org currently distributes. OpenOffice.org users can also help by contacting the OpenOffice Community Council and respectfully requesting that OpenOffice.org not be used as a platform for distributing proprietary software. Contact information for the current committee members is listed under "Representatives" at <http://council.openoffice.org>. OpenOffice.org community members (defined by the Council as people who have registered accounts on openoffice.org) can also suggest new agenda items for the Council's next meeting at < http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council/Meeting_Guidelines#New_Action_Items >. ### About the Free Software Foundation The Free Software Foundation, founded in 1985, is dedicated to promoting computer users' right to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. The FSF promotes the development and use of free (as in freedom) software -- particularly the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants -- and free documentation for free software. The FSF also helps to spread awareness of the ethical and political issues of freedom in the use of software, and its Web sites, located at fsf.org and gnu.org, are an important source of information about GNU/Linux. Donations to support the FSF's work can be made at <http://donate.fsf.org>. Its headquarters are in Boston, MA, USA. ### About Free Software and Open Source The free software movement's goal is freedom for computer users. Some, especially corporations, advocate a different viewpoint, known as "open source," which cites only practical goals such as making software powerful and reliable, focuses on development models, and avoids discussion of ethics and freedom. These two viewpoints are different at the deepest level. For more explanation, see <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html>. ### Media Contacts Peter Brown Executive Director Free Software Foundation +1 (617) 542 5942 ### info-fsf mailing list info-...@fsf.org Unsubscribe: http://lists.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/info-fsf -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com

[marketing] Survey on OO.org
Dear All, As I learned there are few Sri Lankan Banks and Insurgences companies has been migrated to OO.org. But some of their employees told me that they are not 100% satisfied with OO.org. What do you think about doing a survey on OO.org user satisfaction. Can you help me? I strongly belive that we can get a good input for OO.org enhancements. Something like: Reason for migration: self/due to company decision etc Who introduce OO.org? When u migrated how long? working filed/education level whether he/she use Sinhala on OO.org What are the great/cool things on OO.org what are missing on Oo.org what we should add whats the reason (if he/she not using oo.org Best Regards, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com
