[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [DESIGN] Do we need a separate mailing list for artwork/usability/branding...?
Le 2010-11-12 02:26, David Nelson a écrit : Hi David et al: Hi, :-) On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 07:57, Bernhard Dippold wrote: I agree that it is not easy to follow the threads on the topics you mention, but from our experience with the OOo Art project and even more the Branding Initiative there are important topics to be shared between the "general marketing" guys and the "designers/artist" working on branding and visual design. My idea would be that we shouldn't get *too* granular about this. I'd see two lists: 1) Marketing (event organization, flyers, templates, certification planning/design, etc) and 2) Artwork (technical graphics, branding graphics, mime graphics, UX, UI, etc). I also agree. I think that tags will eventually break down. If we were to establish 2 mailing lists, the marketing members should then make a commitment to join both mailists and lurk on the mailist that is of least importance to that member. This would hopefully satisfy the notion that the sharing of information between the two groups will still flow from one group to the next. OR we could have a wiki where a quick summary of monthly discussions were posted for membership perusal. Obviously, there are quite a few subjects of overlapping interest, so having just two lists makes it easier for people to monitor both but primarily contribute to the list more central to their particular area of expertise. Perhaps it could be a compromise to add dedicated [TAG]s to the subject of artwork, UX and design related topics, so they can be found very easily while not leaving the marketing list. Tags depend on *posting discipline*, and this seems to break down fairly quickly after one lays down the ground rules... Further to the discussions during to the conference call, my POV concerning "communications channels" is that lists don't make a good information storage medium. People quote badly, people go OT, people rant, and ideas and info easily get lost in the noise. They *can* be good for brainstorming. But very soon after each important thread reaches a natural conclusion, someone needs to collate and summarize the results and then post them to the wiki. Really, personally, I prefer forums. I know different people have different preferences, though. You may want to consider our Nabble Gateway (http://www.documentfoundation.org/nabble/). It sinks with the mailists, Gmane and itself. All messages are seen on all 3 mediums. Nabble has the same structure of forums. (Google Wave is also great for brainstorming, in many ways, but takes some getting used to, and also demands "posting discipline".) It's useful to have an "IM" medium, too, as a complement for the above. IMHO, communal Skype chats are better than IRC: easier for many people to access and use. Plus a great feature of Skype chats is that you can *unsay and edit* your posts when you say something stupid/incorrect/regrettable. I also thought that Skype chats would be a good alternative until I realized that I had forgotten the "mantra" that I was trying to perform on the lists where ever needed: "many of our users have only dial-up or mobile phone connections. More often these connection are quite slow and limit certain activities." Skype under these conditions are definitely not a good alternative. As a rule, we should always try to find solutions that will include the possibility of 100% participation of our membership. Otherwise we risk marginalizing that segment of our user base that live by lesser means or live in areas where the connectivity alternatives are such that only dial-up or mobile phone connections are possible. These groups are often disregarded for the sake of expediency and relegated to lesser roles in organisations. Let's find ways that will permit 100% participation where possible. In this case, I suggest we keep the Talkyoo setup as a telephone connection is all that is needed (notwithstanding long distance charges where applicable). Also, Talkyoo has generously provided and is sponsoring our phone conferencing. This is another way for us to encourage corporate sponsorship fro LibreOffice. I really enjoy the conference calls, and feel that those discussions facilitate good communication and enable quick arrival at a conclusion about the topic under discussion (*providing* that people maintain good discipline). I'd definitely like to see these continue regularly. Yes, they are quite productive. Let's keep doing our regular monthly meetings.

David, As a part of the website development team I thought I might share some info which relates directly to what you were saying. > Further to the discussions during to the conference call, my POV > concerning "communications channels" is that lists don't make a good > information storage medium.

But very soon after each important thread > reaches a natural conclusion, someone needs to collate and summarize > the results and then post them to the wiki. We found exactly the same thing within the website team that too many rants were getting in the way of progress on many topics. With the steering committee's decision to move to Drupal within 6 months, the team who are currently working on the implementation had to tackle these exact issues. We have come up with a way to satisfy all (most) of our community with forums which would also allow mailing list functionality for those who would actually still choose to use it. For those interested the official Drupal development site is located at: www.libreofficeaustralia.org (sorry about the localisation, but I plan an Aussie group setup after it goes live on libreoffice.org) P.S. Anyone with Drupal theme experience would be greatly appreciated. Until the Drupal site is setup this kind of functionality will not be 'officially' available, but in the meantime the website team has been chatting through the mailing list, tracking the ideas and progress on the wiki and turning great ideas into reality. See: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website > (Google Wave is also great for brainstorming, in many ways, but takes > some getting used to, and also demands "posting discipline".) A 'Wave' is an open source federated communication protocol. In 'non-geeklish' we can install a wave server on our server and use either a web based client or desktop clients to access the server. This is a great idea. I will float the idea in the website mailing list and see what kind of response I get. -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The structure of the official LibreOffice Drupal development website for templates has been set up and is functioning.

You can find the official LibreOffice development site at: www.libreofficeaustralia.org Note: You must create a username before uploading templates For templates visit: http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/download/templates Although the site has not been themed yet (should be coming within a couple of weeks) structure is the main focus here.

Hey, I see no general problem with the current logo. However, just using a font, typing a name and saying "this is my logo" is not the way logos are done, usually at least. I know we're just at the beginning but still I felt like doing some enhancements. So here we are: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Logo.svg I've changed several things: * ffi ligature * raised the lower line of both c and e * reduced and evened space between letters * fixed base line * fixed weird bend on e I know, it's not perfect but I hope you like it anyways...

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Logo Enhancements
By the way: can I rename files on the wiki? "Logo.svg" is not really self-descriptive and I just noticed it after having uploaded the file.

Bernhard Dippold wrote (12-11-10 00:57) I agree that it is not easy to follow the threads on the topics you I too have to make choices, and do skip threads. mention, but from our experience with the OOo Art project and even more the Branding Initiative there are important topics to be shared between the "general marketing" guys and the "designers/artist" working on branding and visual design.

Actually, Michael, I feel that TDF could actually lighten its workload quite a bit by relying on outside services from robust sources such as Google for quite a few things, and would then be able to focus its efforts on deploying and maintaining those things for which it really feels the effort is worthwhile, such as the blog and the wiki. Google Apps provides Wave - and lots of other useful collaboration facilities.

[libreoffice-marketing] Ubuntu Artwork Team
Hello everyone, Just checking in with my 1st post to this list. The Ubuntu Artwork Team was approached by David Nelson with a follow-up by Christoph Noack to assist with artwork and artistic design. It appears this project is moving at a very fast pace but we are willing to assist as time and resources permit. I must admit what I see is very good! We manage our effort as tasks and we will need guidance from this team on the tasks we accept. Although this is very granular, my suggestion is to submit a request to our mailing for a specific item you are looking to create. From the request I will create a specification which acts like a "blueprint". We will also need to box in effort by setting milestones and/or due dates. :-) Applying the agile principle of "define - don't assign" and a completed spec we will solicit submissions for your consideration. As the owner of the request this team or a duly selected representative will select the successful candidate. And the process repeats. :D With full transparency I must advise we are a volunteer community and I can not guarantee we will deliver on time, every time, with an acceptable product. However many hands make for lite work and everything we do successfully will be one less thing for this team.

Some pages will never be listed as they are just working pages. Browse around the other sections. If you see something that you would like to participate, just join and participate (make sure that you make your presence known to the participants). We are a community run distro. So you just go to http://wiki.documentfoundation.org, look for "Marketing" in the left hand menu and you will find it in that section.

I belong to groups who tried and it was abandoned. I think Wave was trying to be too much of a cooperative "Swiss army knife" and forgot that people want simplicity. It wouldn't surprise me if Google came back with a modified version that is less daunting for simple users. To make it work, you must have mass appeal and a simple and seamless operation.
