Hi :)
Please give it a rest.  

I was just pointing out that 1 suggested name was the same name as a major 
political party.  Accidentally calling things by names that have serious 
implications in certain places is something that we might be able to avoid 
unless we are not allowed to communicate with each other.

Tom,

One very last time: please stop discussing politics and general opinions
that are fully unrelated to the purpose of this list. 

Thanks,

 Hi :)
 Hmm, with a capital C that has a very negative connotation in the country i 
 am in.  
 
 
 It's the name of the political party that is currently in power seemingly 
 purely to drive this country into the dirt.  It's 2 years until we get to 
 vote in the opposing party so that they can drive us down instead or we 
 might keep the current lot in to see just how much more damage they can do.  
 [shrugs]
 
 
 If we use conservative then it's bound to get capitalised at some point.  
 So, i think i would prefer using Corporate or something else.

 I think calling the 3.5.xprevious branch - i.e. 3.5.4 through 3.5.7 - 
 the conservative branch and the current versions of the 3.6.x 
 branch/line the cutting edge branch.
 
 That gets rid of any more stable or other terminology  that might be 
 seen as a negative image for either branch/line.
 
 I wonder if it would be possible to get that change made on the download 
 pages.
 
 We would have
 
 3.6.2 - latest Cutting Edge branch version
 
 3.5.7 - latest Conservative branch version
 
 3.6.3 - latest Pre-release version
 
 and later
 
 
 3.6.4 - latest Cutting Edge branch version
 
 3.5.7 - final Conservative 3.5 branch version
 
 3.6.5 - latest Pre-release version
 
 3.7.0 - latest Pre-release of the new branch

  +1
  That is a +1 to all points.  I think gold or blue or the orange suggested 
  rather than red but that is a minor issue.
 
  I think that you might even get MORE people keen to test the new branch 
  earlier in it's cycle because people often like to be ahead and it would 
  make them less shy about exploring and reporting issues.  We might even 
  find that people use that as a route into triage.

  Hi Everyone,
 
  I think we are all in the right way. :-)
 
  The only thing to do is let people (users) to know - from the start! - 
  that there are two versions.
 
  In this way someone with less computer skills can directly choose 
  either the conservative branch or fall back to it (and not to OpenOffice 
  or something else...) if he initially choose the newer feature richer one.
  Someone with less computer skills cannot imagine or suspect that there 
  could be a conservative branch if you does not present to him immediately 
  and clearly.
 
  Some policies could be:
  - [until 3.6.4] first order 3.5.7 green circle and second order 3.6.2 
  orange circle;
  - [since 3.6.4] first order 3.6.4 green circle and second order 3.5.7 
  green (old) circle;
  - [when 3.7.0 will be released] first order 3.6.6 green circle and 
  second order 3.7.0 orange (red) circle;
  - and so on...
 
  These are similar to the current Release Notes page or the 
  Pre-Releases last and recent one...
 
  That may be very useful to join our common efforts to develop, support, 
  spread, ... LibreOffice in the World and not to frustrate or to nullify 
  our at-Customer work!
 
  If you want to reaches many people you must think to many needs: but 
  don't worry many people in any case will be curios and always test the 
  first releases from start making them better and better as soon as 
  possible. Don't worry: you - we! - will not loose testers and suggesters 
  any more!!!
 
  Have a nice day,
 
  Carlo

[libreoffice-marketing] Marketing Workshop proceedings

2012-10-21 Thread Charles-H. Schulz
Hello,

We had a very productive and fruitful marketing strategy workshop in
Berlin. We didn't take minutes per se, and there was a live stream of
the session. I expect the stream itself will be available again soon,
alongside the streams from the other sessions. I have written however
the various ideas that were discussed here:
http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2012/10/21/marketing-workshop-2012/

This means that we have a lot of work to do. Comments (here and on the
blog) are welcome. In a few days we should start implementing them and
build a real marketing activity here.

Best regards,

I think this thread has gone way beyond what the original posting was about.

Yes, there is a point about calling a version conservative since a few 
people might see the name and think about their country's political 
party with that name.  But the point is we are beyond using words like 
more stable in describing one line over the other.  So it is time to 
move on and stop using this thread name.


Maybe someone can start a new thread about how to describe the two lines 
for new users.  When 3.7.0 comes out in Feb 2013, we will have the same 
questions being asked about which line a user should try first.  At 
that point 3.6.5 will be out as well.


SO
end this thread and someone start a new one about what words, terms, 
etc., are needed to help NEW users choose between the two lines.  Then 
by  the time 3.7.0 comes out, we might have an agreement on how we can 
better promote our two line development cycle and its packages.


end-of-thread
please.

Hi :)
Seems that i am going to be blocked from posting on this list any more.  The 
person that wants to block me has stated off-list that it's because suggesting 
pictures for a montage on the Home page is nothing to do with marketing.  

It has been fine for other people to give suggestions and to show pictures.  
It's just not allowed for me, or perhaps it's the choice of pictures.  Either 
way i can think of better reasons for blocking someone from a marketting list.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Stable? Seriously?? Fw: [tdf-announce] The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.6.2

2012-10-21 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P


Well we really need to have an easier way for the users find the more 
conservative version of 3.6.5 when 3.7.0 comes out.  I do not think 
anyone would call 3.7.0 the version a new user should try first over 
3.6.5.  SO we need a better and easier way for them to get to that 
install instead of the default 3.7.0 downloads.


Since the question keeps coming up, and we should promote both lines of 
our 2 line development cycle, we need an easy way to display/access both 
lines at the same time like shown in


http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/

If we do not show BOTH lines in the default download page, how can we 
say we are promoting both of our development cycle lines? That is the 
key point really.  If we do not promote both lines, then why bother with 
updating the older line or have it available when 3.7.0 comes out

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Community Pictures

2012-10-21 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P


Some people do not think that a photo montage is part of marketing.  
Photos and other images are very much a part of the marketing concepts 
for many businesses.  Without them you would not have any TV or Print 
advertisements.


We all have out preferences on which images would look good together. I 
have not seen the photos, or actually know where they are being 
displayed [which page, etc.] but we really should show the human side 
of LO.  It it our people who make LO what it is, from the developers to 
the person who is promoting it locally.


Actually, for photos, I use Jalbum photo gallery software [free] to 
create online photo galleries and slide shows for organizations.  It 
takes the original size of photos and then automatically create a 
version the size I want [say 640 by 480 px] displayed on the web page, 
plus the thumbnails and all of the HTML controls.  Then if I want to add 
or remove a photos, I just press the make changes option and it 
quickly does the work for me.  It is much easier than any other method I 
have tried to use for placing a whole lot of photos online.  I have 4 
years of photos from many different events for an organization, over 
1,400 of them.  Without a package like Jalbum, it would not have been 
easy to add an event and its photos to the gallery for that year [say 
2009 Christmas Party to the 2009 photo gallery].


I have seen many companies use photo galleries, maybe even Jalbum, to 
promote their product line, artwork, or other things that could use 
photos or images in a gallery presentation.  Impress does similar slide 
presentations, but offline.  We are not saying we should not use images 
and photos with Impress to create a promotional presentation for LO, so 
why not have an online gallery of slides do the same thing?

I have not had time to read the link

http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2012/10/21/marketing-workshop-2012/

Yet.

I have been in and out all day doing a lot of other stuff.

I printed out the web page of the link and placed it on my to read 
paperwork for when I get time to sit down and read things like that.

Hello Tim,

The point is not pictures. The point is to keep this list from being a
parlor, hijacking threads and generally disrupting the work. So far,
this list produces very little work. But it does produce an inordinate
amount of talk. We are actually putting an end to this and are looking
to attract volunteers who are motivated to contribute. to specific
tasks.

I'd be happy if you had some feedback on the marketing workshop
proceedings though.

Best,
Charles.

Some people do not think that a photo montage is part of marketing.
Photos and other images are very much a part of the marketing concepts
for many businesses.  Without them you would not have any TV or Print
advertisements.

We all have out preferences on which images would look good together. I
have not seen the photos, or actually know where they are being
displayed [which page, etc.] but we really should show the human side
of LO.  It it our people who make LO what it is, from the developers to
the person who is promoting it locally.

Actually, for photos, I use Jalbum photo gallery software [free] to
create online photo galleries and slide shows for organizations.  It
takes the original size of photos and then automatically create a
version the size I want [say 640 by 480 px] displayed on the web page,
plus the thumbnails and all of the HTML controls.  Then if I want to add
or remove a photos, I just press the make changes option and it
quickly does the work for me.  It is much easier than any other method I
have tried to use for placing a whole lot of photos online.  I have 4
years of photos from many different events for an organization, over
1,400 of them.  Without a package like Jalbum, it would not have been
easy to add an event and its photos to the gallery for that year [say
2009 Christmas Party to the 2009 photo gallery].

I have seen many companies use photo galleries, maybe even Jalbum, to
promote their product line, artwork, or other things that could use
photos or images in a gallery presentation.  Impress does similar slide
presentations, but offline.  We are not saying we should not use images
and photos with Impress to create a promotional presentation for LO, so
why not have an online gallery of slides do the same thing?

Hi :)
Seems that i am going to be blocked from posting on this list any more.  The 
person that wants to block me has stated off-list that it's because suggesting 
pictures for a montage on the Home page is nothing to do with marketing.

It has been fine for other people to give suggestions and to show pictures.  
It's just not allowed for me, or perhaps it's the choice of pictures.  Either 
way i can think of better reasons for blocking someone from a marketting list.

Good bye and good luck!

picked.



Group shot (or is that OLPC?)

A Venue?

The Flickr ones had some more great shots and some of the same ones.  Not 
everyone wearing jeans and t-shirts so people here might be uncomfortable with 
some of them.

RE: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing Workshop proceedings

2012-10-21 Thread dhiren jani
Hi,
The blog post is good, and reading the manifesto gives a clear idea of why 
geo-specific marketing teams, event based activities and local user/developer 
communities are important. 
As the song goes, Que sera, sera, and it is not very important why there are 
2 binaries, or why the recent threads do not add significant value to marketing 
LO.

Website re-design is a good idea, as long as the community is also promoted 
there.

Given that extraneous points may persist on mailing lists, where you cannot 
really lock or promote discussions. would it be possible to start the 
forums activity soon? It might be easier to track discussions there. 

For. e.g., I am interested in knowing, and possibly contributing, to the plans 
on Certifications and support/messaging for Corporate Deployments.


regards
Dhiren

 Hello,
 
 We had a very productive and fruitful marketing strategy workshop in
 Berlin. We didn't take minutes per se, and there was a live stream of
 the session. I expect the stream itself will be available again soon,
 alongside the streams from the other sessions. I have written however
 the various ideas that were discussed here:
 http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2012/10/21/marketing-workshop-2012/
 
 This means that we have a lot of work to do. Comments (here and on the
 blog) are welcome. In a few days we should start implementing them and
 build a real marketing activity here.
 
 Best regards,
