Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Great artwork
Hi :) Several people (well, at least 2) have said that anything darker than this is tooo dark = that's the reason Paulo made them this light. These ones are just about perfect on my less-than-perfect monitor. I have a feeling that Paulo or someone is probably already working on something that is almost inverse.

We need this kind of material - the 3D perspectives make the icons striking (and they also bring out your wonderful details). I do, however, think that the most recent images (particularly Wallpaper 1) are too bright. They might make great presentation title slide backgrounds, but it would also be good to have something stronger so that it stands out as a wallpaper design (jumps out of the screen).

As far as anyone having the ability to add events, I would say that even though this is already available on the wiki, that few events are added. And, when someone does have an event to add they usually ask for help to add this entry on the wiki. I believe we already have quite a number of people who have access permission to the website who could do this as well.

If we could eventually have categorization, and as Christian mentions, people make good use of this option, we could have a well-tuned calendar where even release dates could be posted as well as any other time-time sensitive material. Let's not forget, that if there is a way to have some form of categorized reports for marketing planning, this will be an even larger advantaged given to the website based calendar solution.

Regards from Tom :) It is not a Google calendar. I don't think that it's necessary to show on the wiki site as well. We could however, delegate the admin of the calendar to a couple or a few of members who could take care of inputting any dates that are suggested on the lists. There are many of us who cruise the lists and collect data for the project.

[libreoffice-marketing] Support button / artwork for challenge in presentations
Hi, I think it would be a good idea to incorporate a slide with a supporting graphic / button for our challenge (for the foundation capital) into every presentation that we give at a exhibition (etc.) from now on up to the 21. March. For instance I will give a presentation at the Cebit 2011 and I would like to integrate an impressive artwork to support the donation challenge in my presentation. Is there already something that I can use for this (preferable in German)?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] DVD--need help finding the problem with the HTML code
Original Message From: webmaster for Kracked Press Productions webmas...@krackedpress.com To: marketing@libreoffice.org Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:17:48 -0500 I need help trying to find out what is the problem with the HTML code. You go to Module [page]. Click on read more under Writer and you get a second tab or windows when it comes up. Now you have 2 pages. You click on the read more under Calc, and you do not get the second window. Both coding are the same except the file name. So Writer should not open a second tab/window is Calc does not. Cannot figure what the problem is. It must be somewhere else, but I cannot see it. The software I use cannot get it to stop either. http://www.lungstrom.com/libreoffice-dvd-project/LibreOffice-disc-North-American-DVD/module.html The Writer Read more ... link: a target=_blank href=writer.htmlRead more .../a has a target attribute. _blank = open in new page/tab The Calc Read more ... link: a href=calc.htmlRead more .../a is missing the target attribute and defaults to _self = open in same window/tab.

If so, that leaves out MS's XML formats of the last few years. There is nothing open about that. Since, I have been told, that MS's built-in support for ODF does not produce a clean file that can be read and viewed properly by software outside of MS's control. This makes MS not a viable option for use of the open format standard that ODF is meant for. So that leaves MS out of the open standards and open data part of the ruling, I hope. -- 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 ***

Thanks Ian, I have added this to the LibreOffice in the Press wiki page. Sometimes, these are political jostling for more favourable procurement terms. MS may not have provided the UK government terms that were palatable for its pocket book. So, the most evident sabre rattling that one would do in this case is put into motion the adoption of open source software and file formats. I believe, if I remember correctly, this has happened before a few years back in the UK. And it worked! Not sure if doing a second time will word though. Maybe there were lines drawn in the sand and the final decision had to be made. Hopefully, this time, the UK government has come to realize the clear advantages to open source everything and that taking steps to move to the ODF and ODF compatible software is just good policy. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
