(etc.) ~Christine In the body of the press release, after the emphasis on OOo's support of the OpenDocument Format and collaboration with other ODF-supporting projects, such as KOffice, there can be a nod to formats for EOL'd data. OOo can export EOL'd data to PDF, the format which Adobe was marketing for, as well as supporting ODF for live data. CSV is worth a mention, too, since I still see new tables of scientific data published as CSV here and there. /Lars - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

[marketing] Design ideas/slogan ...
Hi, just in the morning on the way into the office i had an idea for a slogan and i think it might be useful in some way for our designs ... It's a mix of the 6 million dollar man (US TV series) our fantastic download numbers and the hype around app's for the iPhone first but now for small devices in general. You know everybody need an app for everything (or not ;-)) Anyway, the slogan is or could be 1. Openoffice.org the 2. 100 3. million 4. app 1. should be the official OOo logo 2. should be highlighted in some way 3.+4. should be probably also highlighted in some way What do you think?

Very good idea. Maybe just simplify to the OO.0 logo combined with 100 million+ ? OpenOffice.org 100 million+ and counting 1OO.o million - THE IT COMMUNITY Everyone needs an app - 100 million get OOo also nice after reading my lines again, i tend to OO.org the 100 million downloads app Juergen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

Re: [marketing] Design ideas/slogan ...
Hi Juergen, -1 I would object to this idea for a reason that already manifests itself in the explanation you gave regarding the thoughts that lead to this slogan. Why for some people like maybe you and me it would seem quite natural to apply the terms program, application and app interchangeable to programs on mobile phones as well as to programs on desktop computers I think quite a lot of others (probably more exposed to recent commercials than to technical documentation) would associate just programs for the iPhone or just programs for well at least some kind of mobile phone with the term app. Thus the slogan would be giving the wrong impression that OOo would be something for a platform or a group of platforms which in fact it doesn't support (iPhone or other mobile phone) why not associating it with platforms it does support (Desktop Computers or WorkStations with Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris OS etc. on it ).

Re: [marketing] Design ideas/slogan ...
Hi Bernd, the relation to mobile apps was indeed intended ;-) But i am flexible, the problem is we need some ideas and the time is running. We have to nail down the desing before Christmas, otherwise we will run again into trouble with the production etc. Juergen Bernd Eilers wrote: Hi Juergen, -1 I would object to this idea for a reason that already manifests itself in the explanation you gave regarding the thoughts that lead to this slogan.
