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...

RE: [marketing] Xmass theme for OOo Site
Here are 2 ideas: 1. Use a picture of the two White Seagulls, fly them over a red banner with chrome color influence and have them carrying green Holly by their feet. 2. Fashion a picture of two red bow tied ribbons into the shape of Seagulls PS- Using colors of blue to grey with Snow Flake accents of varied sizes randomly scattered in the background of the webpage like a watermark would make touch as well.

Considering that Christmas is celebrated by a minority of the worlds population, I think it would be ill advised unless we make a holiday set that recognises as many other holidays of other religious groups that we can, and we use them throughout the year. Even then at some point we will have interference, like now... which one? Christmas, Michaelmas or Hanukar(? Excuse spelling) or whatever other variations there are about the world... Even the "snowy" logo is only relevant in a section of the northern hemisphere and doesn't reflect globally. Where I am is high summer for instance.

RE: [marketing] Campaign on the Economic Crisis
Thank you, Ok, Global realities.., We should probably list them so that we know what we're up against. I don't know if there's already a list that's been created but I'm thinking; we can list everything we can think of and from that, prioritize them as points of focus. Please let me know what you think... Here are a few in order of highest value as I see it: Communication Education Economy Energy Time All of which can be classified as Global Problems that are shared by all. I believe that while there are certainly others that could be listed, these are a good place to start and further if we break these categories into types or sub-categories that make them up we could use them to create marketing strategies that will make people more aware that open technology exists, that it is powerful and show them how it can be harnessed to help them with everyday needs and all the while, remind them that it is free. Here are some sub-categories that are common in all: Family Business Personal This is what this basic model would look like: Communication Family Business Personal Education Family Business Personal Economy Family Business Personal Energy Family Business Personal Time Family Business Personal Do you agree that this is a good place to start or would you like to focus some specific things?

RE: [marketing] Campaign on the Economic Crisis
I've mulled it over for some time and I'm seeing new slogans as indirectly being a great way to pierce the market with a new message that has never really changed. "All the Office YOU need.., for FREE" "Fully embracing open standards instead of your pocketbook" "Less Overhead = Greater Efficiency" "For People by People" I picture these and a plethora of others being flashed across the screen with seagulls highlighting blogs and in key advertisement places. Please let me know what you think. PS- Yesterday I came across a need that looks like an opportunity for development that I believe would increase acceptance and collaboration exponentially. There is also a need for an open source e-mail compatible with outlook that would truly make (if it was developed) OO.o a well rounded office suite. PSS- Who would be good to speak with about development of unused ideas? I have one that would add a whole new dimension to calc and as a product developer and business partner were I work I'm convinced it would be a relatively simple implantation that once created would astonish the market with its simplicity and usefulness.

Another point is that with tax season coming up in short order, records and accounting will be important.

RE: [marketing] Mozilla Thunderbird + Lightning promotion on OO.o
Hi Kay, In my spare time, I work with the Dayton Gospel Mission giving assistance to there IT and Scholastic needs at the Nehemiah University. One of the many things we have the privilege of is offering education to those in needy situations giving them new strength in knowledge. We currently teach Office products and are interested in teaching OO.o. I think there are great possibilities here to create a new marketing strategy and would like to speak with you some time to discuss some new ideas. Please let me know if that is possible.

Is this summary correct so far? Nether mind I would link re-initiate the discussion about promoting Thunderbird +Lightning on the download page of OO.o, which is in my opinion the most prominent place for a promotion. We might start also a discussion how OO.o could be promoted by the Mozilla Thunderbird team. Adding an OpenOffice.org pointer on the Thunderbird page might be an option.
