Never did this before for OOo. But it did for LibreOffice 3.3.0.x That is a nice feature sometimes, while other times is can be a headache. Yes, but imagine, all of these years, Thunderbird has been offering this default for MSO. This seems to give the view that the .doc and .pdf files have established the norm, when we should be pushing for support for conventions. OpenDocument Format (ODF) support is crucial to our distro. We should try to get support for the ODF formats from as many places as possible. It will only help us. You can always remove these preferences if you like. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Thunderbird (Mozilla) would want to remove the .doc and .pdf formats from the default install, so we may as well push for ODF as well. Cheers Marc Hi :) I think if you find one of those documents that opens in FireFox and right-click, choose Properties then you can set the default program as LibreOffice. Hopefully there is only 1 sub-set of OpenDocuments that have this problem on your machine but if you find other documents opening in FireFox then you might have to repeat this 2 or 3 more times to catch them all. LibreOffice is not a distro it is a suite. Usually OpenSource projects of anything like this size are distros and the unusual way TDF formed is more usual amongst distros so it is easy to make the mistake. It is difficult to think of a generic term that would cover Gimp, Firefox, Mozilla, the distros, small libraries, large organisations but i guess project is about the most generic?

Thank you so much for include my wallpapers in this page! Maybe we should change the name of files to avoid the use of LibO (my fault, I'm sorry). What do you think? Hi Paulo: I don't think there is anything wrong with the file names. We had just discussed avoiding LibO when using Marketing materials going out to the public. The LibO short name, in this case, makes sense as it would be quite a bit longer if the full name were used. Therefore, I do not have a problem with it. Unless anyone else complains, I do not see any reason to change the file names. Many thanks for the great work. Cheers Marc Hi Paulo: I now see that you have changed to LibreOffice on your next set. I will change the names LibO to LibreOffice as you had suggested, just to keep all of the file naming structure the same.

It's the part where, in the body of the text, when you are composing an email, if you type .doc or .pdf a pop-up window on the bottom will rise and prompt you to not forget the attachment. Thunderbird has offered this as a feature at the point of install for quite a few versions. You can also turn this feature of in the preferences setup. In this case, I submitted a feature request for ODF support and it has been accepted and being completed as we speak. No problem with calling LibreOffice a suite/project rather than a distro.

Just in case you are not aware, Italo Vignoli is our marketing lead. We rely very much on his marketing expertise and wisdom. Thanks for your kind words. I can add something for the brazilians here: I am Italian, but Brazil is my second house as I have adopted a Brazilian boy from Pirassununga (Cachaca 51) 17 years ago (he is now 23), and I have been in Brazil several times. I understand Portuguese and I can even say a few words. Picanha is my favourite dish, and I am actually planning to retire in Brazil (in around 10 years from now).

[libreoffice-marketing] design overhaul
Hey folks, as far as I have followed the development so far it seems that both logo and icons (which make the gross of our branding) for the current release (3.3) have been used quite extensively and seem to be the ones we will settle on in the long run. I still want to share some thoughts about that. 1. What happened to the community branding? As the current logo has been used so much, I must say that I want to speak *against* changing it again. 2. The wiki branding site is still full of ideas for logos, mascots, icons etc. and it seems as if nothing is decided yet. And this is the official position, isn't it? Having said that, I'd like to encourage you (us) to somehow finalize the branding. There are so many great artists (see the wallpaper renders of the icons) who use, yes, which drafts? - The official one? The ones they like most? - for their work. I think it would be better if we had a clear decision regarding branding, and that as soon as possible. 3. There is no central place to look for resources (yes, since we haven't decided upon an official version yet, I begin to repeat myself). The wallpaper renders, for example, where are the source files for these icons? They look like Bernhard's, but even better. *They *should be the ones used in the application. Now some minor issues which I still don't like about the current official files. 1. The LibreOffice still has no proper ligatures. From a typographic point of view the text looks cheap. 2. There is no proper spacing/connection between logo and logo text: http://tinyurl.com/6kt8n8q For me logo and text look like two distinct parts. There are several reasons for this. The edges on the logo are rounded while the text has sharp ones. The lines of text and logo are not the same width. 3. I don't like the emboss effect on the contemporary color version (while this might be my personal opinion, I still want you to consider that for a second. In my eyes it just looks like a cheap gimp filter added to the normal version). As far as I can remember, we thought about starting work on the official branding after 3.3 is released. I am willing to spend some time on this issue over the next few months, but only if we can decide upon a goal in this discussion.

The wallpaper renders, for example, where are the source files for these icons? They look like Bernhard's, but even better. *They *should be the ones used in the application. Now some minor issues which I still don't like about the current official files. 1. The LibreOffice still has no proper ligatures. From a typographic point of view the text looks cheap. 2. There is no proper spacing/connection between logo and logo text: http://tinyurl.com/6kt8n8q For me logo and text look like two distinct parts. There are several reasons for this. The edges on the logo are rounded while the text has sharp ones. The lines of text and logo are not the same width. 3. I don't like the emboss effect on the contemporary color version (while this might be my personal opinion, I still want you to consider that for a second. In my eyes it just looks like a cheap gimp filter added to the normal version). As far as I can remember, we thought about starting work on the official branding after 3.3 is released. I am willing to spend some time on this issue over the next few months, but only if we can decide upon a goal in this discussion.

It's a very intelligent decision. ;) I totally agree. Thank you both for explain it! On 17-02-2011 06:54, Tom Davies wrote: see below for responses ...

When I become a LibreOffice mail listing member, I didn't know what was the right form (LibreOffice or LibO) to use in each context. By the way, is it correct or suggested to use Libre Office (with separated words)? ~Paulo Hi Paulo The suite is called LibreOffice with no spaces. Re: use of LibO. We had agreed a couple months ago that the use of LibO as short form would not be encouraged as we wanted to get the LibreOffice brand name known to people. This was also said in context of marketing materials. I don't think that this would apply to file naming convention as sometimes we need to abbreviate file names to make them fit. As Italo says do not take this as an order, but IMO, I think that we would want to make our official name known before advertising a short form. Many people still have never heard of LibreOffice. Just in case you are not aware, Italo Vignoli is our marketing lead. We rely very much on his marketing expertise and wisdom. Cheers Marc -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** Hi :) Yes, for internal communications we have been mostly using LibO or occasionally LO but we want to avoid that getting out-there to the outside world. At least for now. Outsiders, or people on the fringes will use a lot of different names until they are familiar with the 'correct one'. We really want to establish LibreOffice as the 'correct name' and that could take a long time. In linux the 3 letters lib at the start of a name are 'reserved' for libraries and after those 3 letters should be the functionality or a nickname. In a similar way the letter K (or Qt) at the start of a name often indicates that the project is built for the KDE desktop. A G often indicates something for the Gnome desktop environment. We (the wider OpenSource and linux communities) try to avoid being tooo strict about any rules or guidelines and usually encourage diversity. Following rules too closely can stifle innovation and creativity. Regards from Tom :) -- Paulo José O.

Thank you so much for include my wallpapers in this page! Maybe we should change the name of files to avoid the use of LibO (my fault, I'm sorry). What do you think? Hi Paulo: I don't think there is anything wrong with the file names. We had just discussed avoiding LibO when using Marketing materials going out to the public. The LibO short name, in this case, makes sense as it would be quite a bit longer if the full name were used. Therefore, I do not have a problem with it. Unless anyone else complains, I do not see any reason to change the file names. Many thanks for the great work. Cheers Marc Hi Paulo: I now see that you have changed to LibreOffice on your next set. I will change the names LibO to LibreOffice as you had suggested, just to keep all of the file naming structure the same. Cheers Marc -- Paulo José O.
