Hi Immanuel, Le 2012-12-29 09:33, Immanuel Giulea a écrit : Hello Florian, Marc and everyone, Good timing on the calendar. I was going to suggest having one on the wiki where everyone could contribute. Perhaps a Google Spreadsheet would be nice. Is the calendar open/crowd-sourced? Immanuel Our events calendar can be found both on the website in the About Us section, and, on the wiki. You can find the link in our Marketing section[1]. The calendar is a Google Calendar and the same information is the same on both the website and wiki page. The website calendar uses the an iFrame and can show more than one calendar at a time; the wiki calendar uses a wikimedia plugin, but this particular plugin does not allow for multiple calendars. The admins to the calendar are both Florian and myself. It would be great if there were just one more volunteer to help out with the calendar. There is very little work to do for it ... probably takes up no more than 1hr per month of work -- maybe less.

This FB group is META group to discuss how we can start, continue or manage the LibreOffice offline meetings in each places. It's very young, limited target group, but I hope it helps people who want to do something about LibreOffice meetings in Japan. And we have another group LibreOffice (日本語) : https://www.facebook.com/LibreOfficeJa Its more famous, widely used FB group in Japan. We use the group to share the news, topics or something interest about LibreOffice in Japanese. currently 184 ppl likes it. To be honest, our core community members mostly likes ML or Twitter than FB, but we know FB is powerful tool to reach many casual (non-geek) users that's why we care the group.

Just to let you know about the Japanese page on FB here : https://www.facebook.com/LibreofficeStudyJapan From my (poor) Japanese understanding, it's about meetings on LibreOffice study currently in Kanto, Kansai and Kyushu. Anybody from the Japanese group to talk a bit more about it? Yes, your understanding is perfect! Thanks a lot :) This FB group is META group to discuss how we can start, continue or manage the LibreOffice offline meetings in each places. It's very young, limited target group, but I hope it helps people who want to do something about LibreOffice meetings in Japan. I'm sure it will, it's a very good idea. And we have another group LibreOffice (日本語) : https://www.facebook.com/LibreOfficeJa Its more famous, widely used FB group in Japan. We use the group to share the news, topics or something interest about LibreOffice in Japanese. currently 184 ppl likes it. well 185 now ;) To be honest, our core community members mostly likes ML or Twitter than FB, but we know FB is powerful tool to reach many casual (non-geek) users that's why we care the group. And you're right, any media that can help us to gather people is welcome. But the Japanese group is far from the French one for example, I didn't meet enough people to open a FB page, or a G+ or even a twitter account. Naruhiko, don't hesitate to report here what you're are doing, your initiatives or anything you're putting in place. It's very interesting for all of us and help us to learn how to put the same things in place in our own language. Thanks again, Thanks to you and your community for the great investment in LibreOffice.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [us-marketing] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?
I asked one of the team members on the Montreal committee to make introductions to Fabien Pinckaers, CEO at OpenERP. I also contacted two other OpenERP providers in Montreal to get feedback about integration. There are four in total. Two members on the Montreal committee are from the fourth one, and I'll touch base with them in the New Year. Cor, if you know him already, maybe you can approach him as well. It can't hurt to approach him from two people. On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 3:54 PM, Cor Nouws oo...@nouenoff.nl wrote: Charles-H. Schulz wrote (30-12-12 14:52) Go ahead.
