To get them made you can use a company called Mulberry Design  Print were I 
work, They are UK based and delivery worldwide if its not in the UK. Were 
cheap and i can possibly get you a discount if you need somewhere for them 
to be printed.

Hi,

the FOSDEM is coming soon, organization is ongoing(see 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Conferences/FOSDEM/2009)


We want to produce some merchandising stuff for our booth. One thing 
should be a T-Shirt (available for a donation - production price + ...)


The time is short for a cool image/design (probably too short take 2-3 
production into account) and the costs shouldn't be too high.  We have 
received 3 drafts but we can't use it because it's too complex for the 
print.


We need something simpler. I think about something like this:

OpenOffice.org 3
   It's free
   It's open
It's simply cool

I created a pure draft (it's of course not good, the gulls are really bad) 
and put it on the wiki. But hey i am no designer and gimp is not my best 
friend (too complicate for me).


But i am sure that others have better ideas and hopefully somebody can 
produce the final design in a more professional way.


I would like to start a brainstorming discussion here to collect ideas for 
a nice T-Shirt. As mentioned before the time is short and we need 
something at the beginning of January.


Please take my draft as a first start and let us collect some better 
ideas...

2008-12-19 Thread Luke Jones
Erm, your probably looking at around £3-6 per shirt, depending on the design 
and whether you want them double sided (front and back) or not. There was an 
auto quote system on our website but its been taken down at the moment due 
to the work demand. You can get a full quote by calling (0151) 334 2300 and 
asking for Mike or Pete with regards to t-shirt prints. I don't work in that 
area so can't give you an accurate price sorry :P

Hi Luke,

thanks for the offer i will potentially come back to you depending on time 
etc.


What would be the price for a t-shirt with for example a 4 color print and 
let say 300 shirts or more?

I just tried to access the Ooo 3.0 download page so I could add a link

it for an article for theforcefield.net about the launch and I am
receiving
a 404 error.

The specific error is as follows:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /servlets/ContentHelmNoodle on this
server.
Apache Server at www.openoffice.org Port 80


I attempted to access the main OOo site and it is giving me a
forbidden error as well. Is the site down? If so, could you elaborate on
the nature of the problem and when it is expected to be up again? If I
could have something to post our site so everyone will know what is
happening it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: [marketing] OpenOffice.org-Forge

2008-07-14 Thread Luke Jones
Yea i like that idea, and it will do well in terms of different versions of 
stuff such as artwork and documents such as pdf's and the like. It will 
enable us to not overwrite, accidently remove other user's content and stuff 
as it will be version based. As for hosting however, There are multiple 
places it could go, could go on the OOo site or somewhere remote such as a 
storage site such www.solo.flphost.com or www.box.net however www.box.net 
has a limit on the space you can use. But yea, overall I like or even love 
this idea.

Subject: [marketing] OpenOffice.org-Forge

Many projects have extended their encouragemente of 3rd party support to 
get developers jump in their peripheral branches. However they also go as 
far as having the whole hosting suite for all these projects. They usually 
use a web application called *Forge, taken from sourceforge or g-force.


Other companies doing this include:
Novell
PostgreSQL community
Ruby
etc..

What are the chances to have a http://forge.services.openoffice.org setup. 
This will make it easier for developers to host their projects and 
actually don't get into other conflicts like hosting, etc.


Hopefully we can get more convesation  over these topics.

Hi guys,

I'm no marketing guru by any stretch of imagination, but that doesn't
stop me from chiming in with a few ideas. :-) I think all your
suggestions are great, but as an average OpenOffice.org user I'd like
to see more stuff that would help me to promote OpenOffice.org and
create a hype around the 3.0 release. For example, I'd gladly place a
banner on my website, but I couldn't find any. Yes, I know about
http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_banner.html but these
banners are outdated and, frankly, not very attractive. How about
creating feature-focused banners instead of just the generic get it
now ones? For example: OpenOffice.org 3.0. Now with PDF import, or
OpenOffice.org 3.0: infinitely extensible (refers to OOo
extensions). Why not to make a call for OpenOffice.org 3.0 wallpapers?
I'm sure there are a lot of talented OOo users who would love to
create some good-looking wallpapers. Also, why not create a YouTube
video that demonstrates new features in OpenOffice.org 3.0? Just my
two cents.

Kind regards,
Dmitri

No responses here... and 3.0 is getting closer.


I see and I fear... not many helpers. :-(
Currently I work on getting a CI/design for 3.0 (see my mail to 
project_leads), and we have Erwin's feature compilation. The latter needs 
to be updated, we should link to the Presenter Screen extension as this 
is available now.

Yes, there is still some nice features to add.


Hope we at least find some people to work jointly on this - one man can't 
get this all up and running. :-)


Once the localization is over, I'll be able to help more and prepare a pdf 
guide like the one we had for 2.0


Kind regards
