Le 2013-02-12 06:36, Charles-H. Schulz a écrit : Italo, all, I have about three interviews that are ready to be published from devs and localizers. I can starto to publish them as of today but if you have a better timing in mind please let me know. Thanks, Charles. Seeing as you are having more success at this than I was, one suggestion is to keep going with our blog dev interviews. IMO, we get more exposure from this if we can keep posting one to two per week. If you approach the devs and can manage a steady stream of finished interviews, I can help with scheduling them for posting along a regular time cycle. We have approximately 500 devs. For example we could designate the Wednesday and Friday as a days of dev interview posts. Maybe someone from the QA team (suggestions of Sophie/Joel) could approach the QA team members and take care of the interviews and I could also do the same for QA blog posts. We could for example designate Thursdays as QA interview blog posts. I could take care of the Website team interviews and we could designate Tuesdays as Website interview blog-posts. That would leave Design (VI,UX) and Docs, l10n and perhaps do some for nl group leads. We could also do or dare to include the Discussion team in this as well and pick out certain individuals whose contributions to that particular team is considered of high standard of participation. This would make our blog even more attractive to read and for media dissemination. Having predictable days where certain interviews are done for certain groups, makes it appealing for those who are interested in specific groups.

Some comments from me: The whole magazine has only right pages. When I will print it as a magazine it has wrong pages on the left site. I have some bad feelings about the using of some pictures because of licenses. Do we have the right to use all the pictures in a printing? I don't know if it is an important point but I wouldn't use screenshots with personas like the known prehistoric squirrel (page 12) or the hearty dog (page 17) because of licenses. We should use only pictures with an open license. -- Grüße k-j -- 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

Most of the users I have seen in the corporate/academic world are not computer literate and fear any change. To compound matters they have no interest in becoming marginally literate. Try explaining how to import a csv file into a spreadsheet when the person fears Excel; lots of fun. That attitude, in my opinion, is the biggest barrier to LibO adoption; even bigger than MS' fud machine. I think the real issue is user attitudes are reinforced by FUD. Often you see people say you can not do something on the web unless you have Windows or a Mac but Linux usually works just as well but the FUD plays on user ignorance of how websites actually work.

[libreoffice-marketing] The video for LibreOffice miniconf Tokyo
Hi, I changed the subject of the mail to make clear what we're talking about. Anyway, May I ask when we'll get the video for our miniconf? Someone already have it taken in FOSDEM, right? Our miniconf will be held 23th Feb. JST, so I want to use this weekend to prepare the event, for example, adding Japanese caption on the video. Of course I'll be happy that I will get it earlier, but I don't want to rush all of you; lots of works you might have. I only want to know current status.
