Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Open Help Conference & Sprints 2013
Tom, It's a small, very participatory conference (less than 50 people), so one does not just "show up and look around". At last year's conference, I gave a presentation about the LO Docs project and team, because the other participants wanted to learn what we were doing, but that is not required. I learned a lot from the others, including how they dealt with their communities of users and contributors, as well as what tools and procedures they used. --Jean On 07/05/2013, at 5:37, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Thanks :) I meant to pass this on to this list ages ago.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Open Help Conference & Sprints 2013
Hi :) Closing date for applications is in a couple of days time. The 14th. That's this month, May. That's their last date so you'd need to get it in on the 12th or 13th to try to avoid problems. It's already the 8th. Jean from the Docs Team managed to go last year but she lives in Australia (I think) so it's not easy for her to just wander over either! lol There are plenty of other events so if you can't make this one this year then perhaps next year or a different event this year or both.

I did not know that the Brooklyn Bridge was in Cincinnati [laugh over the image]. I wish I still could travel. That is about a half day traveling from me. I use to drive back and forth to Columbus OH many time in the '80s. The conference is in mid-June, so if someone really wanted to they might be able to set up a table there. It is all up to some people who want to do it and then get it done. Of course if it is not too late to "order" a table. I do not remember, but were there someone on our marketing lists, or use to be, that lived in Ohio?

I have yet to see the guy next door stumbling on a brochure about a FOSS project and adopting it. My point here is that traditional marketing does not work for FOSS and this is why we should -let me repeat it again- market our community, not the product. Product advertising.necer hurts of course and I am happy this brochure exists but it is one tool aming others, not what's going to get us.more downloads. Best, Charles. Obviously this is different from my response to Tom's post. We can tweak the brochure to flow the way we wish later at the writing stage. The initial points will look similar, but the language/text makeup will send the message we want. Once we get to the writing stage we can perhaps take this discussion up if it is necessary. In the meantime, I look at it from this point of view: If I go to a conference, LUG, FOSS conference, educational conference for professionals etc., and someone hands me a brochure on "LibreOffice in Education", and I had never heard of LibreOffice, then I would want to read of its selling points. If you spoke to me of the community, then I most likely would not be interested. If I had never heard of LibreOffice I would want to read of its virtues in education, the reasons as to why I would want to use/adopt it either for myself, my school board or for my students. I would not be interested in the community until after I was more engaged (sold) on LibreOffice. Our entry point for most people is the product and of the advantages it allows users. BTW ... we are also going to work on a Brochure-Type: Community, where this would be more appropriate. Cheers, Marc I use the brochures as a tool to give the person a place to look at some basic info about LO and a URL for more info. I tend to chat up LO to people and then if I see that they are interested in what I am saying, I give them my card and a brochure [if I have any with me]. I know of some people who took it home and places it on the table where they put their car keys [or similar place] and their kids or spouse picked up the brochure and asked about what this was all about. I know about two of these cases since they started using LO on their home systems, after another talk with me. Having a brochure handout at a "event" can be used differently. Some events need different type of brochures. Some, like Marc's Education conference would want to know specifics about what LO could do for them, their students, etc.. Some events are more "community based" where having a big community of users and helpers behind the product is a concern to people who used a package that was good but there was no real community backing to help and support the product's users. I think right now we need some type of brochures that tell the person who read it that this is what LO is and what LO does. We need a generic one that stated that the suite offers these parts, like Draw and Math, that might not be something other suites offer. Then there will be the need for specific "markets". What can LO do for the needs of an educator and/or the student. What can LO do for the writer or articles, books, and technical manuals. What can LO do for the user of a specific field or market. Yes, we need to stress our community somewhere, but not a whole brochure letting people here use praising out community and its support of our users. A line or two might be all that is needed. Of course having a "for more information - go to this URL", is something the brochures will need. If we can write a brochure, or set of brochures, that will be picked up and read, then we need to make sure we have a good place for the potential user can go to for more information about LO. I have fielded some questions, but the web site, the wiki, and the PDF guides should be easy to find and helpful for allowing a potential user to become an actual user. To be honest, we should have started the brochure template and content descussion back in the first summer that LO was available for download. Then all we would need to do is keep the materials updated. We needed a lot of marketing tools back then. At least we are working on them now. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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
Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: Education
Hi :) +1 to everything all 3 said. Errr, i don't usually like agreeing but i have to this time. The brochure was designed for a specific purpose, a specific audience, and it achieves that very well. Marc makes a lot of sense about another one for Academics. Academics and Devs are likely to also respond well to "wordy" brochures that would put almost everyone else to sleep. But they are driven by very different motivators and use almost a different language from each other of course even if it's based on English. That is something that made Tim&Marc brochure effective. They looked at the target market and wrote specifically for them.

[libreoffice-marketing] Brochure type: Developers
I've not been keeping up well, so this may have been covered already by Marc. With OSCON coming up in July, I need a brochure aimed at developers. This would definitely emphasize the community and why one might want to join and contribute. Or perhaps a slightly broader audience? Including QA, user support, docs? Again, emphasising participation rather than "what's in it for me as a user" or "what's in it for my organization?" which are the approaches I would use in, say, conferences for educators or non-profits. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: Education
I've set up a wiki page with the steps and some points that I think important to put in the brochure[1]. We are only in the "brainstorming" of ideas at this point. The more points we put there with respect to LibreOffice being important in the educational field the better. Please do not remove any points until it is discussed on this thread. Feel free to add points. Don't worry about the amount of points on the page as we will prioritize the list of points if necessary. If you are interested in contributing, just add your comments to this thread and someone will put it up on the wiki page. NOTE: If you are part of an nl group, feel free to pass the word along and come back to let us know of any suggestions from your team. NOTE: If you are not used to working on the wiki and would like to learn, send me a note and I will give you some help to get started. It would be great to get more people to help out with the collection of notes and putting them up on the wiki. We have about 15 different brochure-types to create. BTW ... We need more "note takers" and more members who can help to "beautify" the wiki and keep the information in readable order ... this is the kind of work that you would do when you feel like it.

It's going to be for people that have already been attracted to the product and want to know more.

Regards from Tom :) Let's keep this for marketing LibreOffice to those who have not experienced it, those who are uncertain. These brochures are to take to conferences, LUG's, meets etc. We are trying to convince people to try/adopt LibreOffice as their office suite of choice. If people want more information, then the docs team should be doing that through the "Intro to LibreOffice" line of books which is already well done. Sure, there will be a lot of information being thrown around, but this is how marketing goes about doing it. We are trying to "sell" the LibreOffice brand.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Open Help Conference & Sprints 2013
Hi :) Thanks :) I meant to pass this on to this list ages ago. Sorry i didn't! Is there anyone already near enough, perhaps even living in Ohio, that can register in the short time left? http://openhelpconference.com/ I think there is not enough time left to get a proper LibreOffice / TDF presence there but perhaps enough time for individuals to show up and look around?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Brochure-type: Education
Hello Tom, Your observation is correct I think. But then I'd say that these brochures will be primarily handed to people in venues volunteers of the project can exhibit. So you have to think of this brochure in its usage and context. I have yet to see the guy next door stumbling on a brochure about a FOSS project and adopting it. My point here is that traditional marketing does not work for FOSS and this is why we should -let me repeat it again- market our community, not the product. Product advertising.necer hurts of course and I am happy this brochure exists but it is one tool aming others, not what's going to get us.more downloads. Best, Charles.

[libreoffice-marketing] TDF/LibreOffice Brochure Workspace wiki page
Hi everyone, I have created a "TDF/LibreOffice Brochure Workspace" wiki page[1]. We can use it to track the work done on the content and text of the different brochure types as we complete them. Feel free to add any more types should you think we are missing any. I have also added the NL (native language) navigation bar. Feel free to get you own teams working on any of the text and you can help us out by submitting your version of text on the Marketing list for translation/localization in EN OR discuss any of the brochure-types with your nl marketing teams and have someone from your nl marketing team relay back any suggestions in EN to this list. Also note that Italo and Charles will have a LARGE say as to what will appear in some (if not all) of the brochures. For those of you who are not familiar with our Marketing Team structure, Italo and Charles are our lead marketing team members -- they share responsibilities for all that is marketing of the project.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: General Information
Hi :) +1 Perhaps remove "also" as Base is at it's strongest when used as a front-end. It seems to be the default way of using Base and it's much easier to get Base to co-operate with that than it is with Access. So, perhaps Writer is a full-featured word processing application, which can also work as a desktop publishing tool. It's simple enough to use for a quick memo, but powerful enough to create complete books with contents, diagrams and indexes. You're free to concentrate on your message, while Writer will make it look great. Base is a desktop database designed to meet the needs of most users. It is a valuable and powerful asset to link to the other LibreOffice applications. Base can be a good front-end to many enterprise-class databases such as MySql/MariaDB or PostgreSQL.

We should first re-read the content, and once we have agreed on the content, proofed the content and formatted the content, we can move on to completing the rest of the remaining 3 versions of this brochure. The reason I started with the USLtr is that Tim says that he has a pressing need for this particular type of community brochure for an upcoming meeting/event. Please have a look at the content and make any suggestions to improve the text on this thread. You may find the file here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOfficeV.4.0.x-CommunityBrochure-GeneralInformation-USLtr.odt If any of the marketing team has time, please read through the text on this brochure and let us know if the content is OK, or if there are edits needed or corrections. It only takes maybe 5-10 minutes of your time to do this and it would be a great help to get some feedback. Otherwise, we will go ahead with the text and adopt it for our general information brochure. It should really be read through by someone else than just Tim and myself.
