Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Business cards
Hi all, Marc, Recently I made some modifications in the layout for Florian, but I didn't upload the source file yet. I'm going to the Office right now and I'll upload the file. This is the example: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding/Ideas#By_Duilio_Dias_and_Eliane_Domingos Feel free to use. Best. Eliane Domingos de Sousa Brazilian LibreOffice Community 2013/1/17 Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com Does anyone remember who had mentioned and left us samples on our wiki of their LibreOffice Business cards? I can't seem to find them. Was it the PT-BR team? I am also looking for anything that we could use at conference booths that has been left on our wiki site. I am just adding these to our resources page so that we can refer/modify these to the next upcoming v.4.0[1] We have a list of these items on our Conference kit page[2]. We have a booth at Scale that we will need to help organize for Jean. BTW ... the designers are working hard at coming up with new designs for LibreOffice v.4.0 and the release date for v.4.0- is fast approaching. We will soon be able to work on text and re-designs of materials for v.4.0 Cheers, Marc [1] https://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/Visual_**Elementshttps://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements [2] https://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/**Marketing/ConferenceKithttps://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/ConferenceKit -- Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com http://www.parEntreprise.com parEntreprise.com Supports OpenDocument Formats (ODF) parEntreprise.com Supports http://www.LibreOffice.org -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+help@global.** libreoffice.org marketing%2bh...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/**get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-** unsubscribe/http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/** Netiquette http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.**libreoffice.org/global/**marketing/http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Mostly for business card runs (250/per) but, also, some swag (e.g. pens, t-shirts, bags). Overall, apart from the t-shirts, we've been happy with the quality of the runs. As well, they've been very responsive to emailed inquiries. The only, slight, downside in all of this has been their pricing structure: it's not what I'd call fully 'transparent'. I'm not saying it's bad but, for example, they might still charge for uploading custom images.

If you want to keep marketing strategy uniform, the original post should be on the blog, and then shared on social networks ;) With bufferapp.com it's really easy. It works better than Hootsuite. Hootsuite has G+ but bufferapp.com doesn't unless you pay for it.

[libreoffice-marketing] LinuxFest North-West (LFNW) 2013 Conference (Bellingham WA, USA)
FYI, Drew posted this on the US marketing list = Howdy Guys, Just a quick note to the list. LFNW is accepting presentation proposals and assigning non-profit booths for the festival in April now. You can find details on their website: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ //drew = NOTE: BTW everyone ... the CFP (Call For Presentations) due date is 15 March 2013. Also, the conference is in Bellingham WA. If you live near Bellingham you may want to consider representing LibreOffice at a booth! NOTE: I have added the event on our wiki/website events calendar NOTE: If you are a US resident or a Canadian resident on this marketing list, please consider joining the US mailing list[1]. This is where we post messages that deal strictly with the US market (Canadian market too -- ping me if you are interested for Canada). If you do not want to sign up to the list, you can also go to our Nabble site and visit the US marketing mailing list as if you were on a forums site.[2] We also have our wiki pages where you can sign up on our geographic locations page.[3] Just so that we know where the members are situated.

Hi Immauel, Le 2013-01-17 11:29, Immanuel Giulea a écrit : If you want to keep marketing strategy uniform, the original post should be on the blog, and then shared on social networks ;) Sorry, we are in fact discussing this here [http://go.mail-archive.com/FEswk8xOEcYIQaR7WzEAvbUc3t4=] and click on the next button at the bottom to see my response. With bufferapp.com it's really easy. It works better than Hootsuite. Hootsuite has G+ but bufferapp.com doesn't unless you pay for it. Maybe it's worth adding to the budget? $10/month or $102/year https://bufferapp.com/awesome I would not be in favour of spending any money on this unless there was a firm commitment on other members to help out. I don't mind doing some of this to help out, but, doing it alone, IMO, does not warrant the amount of $$$ spent when one individual could just quit doing it and leave the budget money behind. IMO, if we were to spend $$$, I would expect something like this would need about 3+ people who would work at it more as a team with the object of actively gathering marketing items of interest to blog about and then post to our social media channels. I am more interested in working out the process and then following it. If anyone else would like to join, then we could follow the same process and then perhaps re-assess whether it warrants a request for funding for a service like bufferapp. There are many fronts that we can work on in marketing LibreOffice. This would be an option for members who show interest in pushing positive media events or marketing items of interest to our social social outlets. We can work out the process (we're talking about this on the other thread) and then advertise the availability of filling this marketing position to the people on the marketing list. In the meantime, I can do a bit of it when we get something of interest on the list (just as I do with the events calendar). For example, the events calendar only takes about .5hr/week of my time to keep updated. I am not sure how much time this would take. Cheers, Marc Immanuel On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Charles-H.
