The real issue for the DVDs is the fact that some people have slow Internet speeds and even downloading the Windows install files may take a very long time for them. Some people may need a professional looking DVD to present to their boss[es] instead of downloading the files from an online source. So having a source withing your area of the world, where the postage/shipping would not be too much, it a key. In the USA, I could ship a DVD, by mail, from New York State to Texas for a small fee. But to ship it across the border to Canada [one forth the distance] would make the shipping cost be about $20 USD, for the Priority mailing I have boxes for.

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [us-marketing] any USA person able to make/print DVD for people?
There is a very affordable print on demand service called Kunakihttp://www.kunaki.com/ in NY that specializes in automated small run DVD burning.They burn data as well as movie files. When you add shipping via US Mail, the total per disc is around $5 (US only). $1 dollar for the disc and $ 4.30 for shipping. I like that Kunaki would always be available, they even offer a publish-at-no-cost solution, which would let people order directly from Kunaki. Alternatively, I do have replicator and printer at home, and am willing to fill in short term for small orders.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Happy 2014 and Calendar
Thanks much Maybe these calendars could be added to a Wiki page for marketing materials, or just something our users might like to download and print out. I know that I look for printable calendars late in the year for the next year's needs. It would be interesting to make a 12 page/month landscape calendar with a LibreOffice theme. The ones I download are PDF files, but I could try and find a good free Word/Writer or Excel/Calc 2014 12 page/month calendar template and work on making it LO themed. I print these one-month-per-page calendars out and use them on my refrigerator as my master calendar that is a copy of my small book one. I look at it daily. So if we could have a LO themed one, maybe it would look nice on an office wall or other area where more than the user could see it.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Happy 2014 and Calendar
Here is a PDf file that is a very basic monthly calendar that has a LibreOffice theme. This is just a first draft and could use some work, like adding the LO URL and such, plus making the calendar fill the whole page instead of leaving some space at the bottom. I left the space there to help deal with any needed room for the theme work. http://libreoffice-na.us/2014%20Weekly%20Calendar%20US%20Holidays-landscape-2--edit-1.pdf It prints out file, for a quick draft test. Right now the banner needs to be 0.8 inches high to fit into the space. I just chose this one from what I had in a LO artwork folder. There can be made some other image that could work better, or use the logo, etc.. So just look at it and see what you think about making a LO themed monthly calendar that you can write on. This one has USA holidays in it as well. I prefer that type, along with Sunday first cells. --- I wrote: Thanks much Maybe these calendars could be added to a Wiki page for marketing materials, or just something our users might like to download and print out.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Happy 2014 and Calendar
Happy to Help. I think things like monthly wall calendars and other things that users can hang up in their offices or dorm rooms, etc., would be a good idea as a passive marketing tool, or at least a conversation starter. A guy/gal works in an office/cubical where they use MSO. He has a wall calendar that has a LibreOffice theme where he/she can write in important dates for meetings and such. Now, people in the office might wonder what LibreOffice.org is all about, including if this means give me more liberty in the office to do what I like or something else altogether. It could become a nice conversation starter over lunch or break time. Having a calendar file that can be edited by the user to add events and important dates to the day cells before printing also might look good as well. I think a weekly calendar or bi-weekly one might work well, but that is a lot more pages to do/edit/modify unless it is really worth doing. I tend to pick up a weekly calendar book for a cheap price and not use the day planner idea of larger booklet with special pages and such that are used to fill in a expensive looking cover. Also, that could involve some special duplex printing with the correct info on both sides of the letter size paper. Still we need more every day items that a user could have on his/her desk at work and/or at home that has a LibreOffice theme or marketing idea on it. The more of these every day items we have for people to download and print, or buy from a vendor a a low cost, would be a really good passive marketing tool. How many coffee cups have logo and company info on them that are on the average office desk? How many people see these unique cups every day and sometimes ask where they got the coffee cup and what is the information displayed all about. Single and low costing make-on-demand services for things like coffee and other beverage cups are hard to find. But there is a market for these items for our users and marketers. Think of all the handout items that you might see at shows, from pens to cups. Most of these items need to be purchased in bulk numbers. But if a user could get t-shirts, cups, pens, stickers, calendars, note pads, hats, and any number of items that might be popular to have. Ask your local Kiwanis group member about the items he/she can buy from their catalog[s] that are both useful and advertise Kiwanis or their cause. I deal with a group that is one of the Kiwanis Family of organizations, so I know what they can get and how much they cost. Yes the Kiwanis buys in bulk. But there is a market out there for these items and if there is an outlet for buying single items as a low cost. In another thread we are talking about getting a professional DVD making company to offer LO based DVDs in single units so it is no longer in the hands of home burning and printing individuals trying to fill the gap. Maybe places like Lulu.com could sell a LibreOffice 2015 Photo/Graphics Calendar for say $14 each. Maybe we can get a vendor to sell t-shirts and ball caps as well that has the LibreOffice logo on it. Having people like Eliane and others working on posters, cards, calendars, stickers, and other items that the user might want/need to use it very important. I hear that the original card and calendar from this thread is now being translated to a lot of other languages. That is a good thing. The more people in more languages that have access to all these ideas for posters, graphics, calendars, brochures, templates, etc., etc., the better it is for LO and for our user base. We need to keep this creativity up. On 01/01/2014 06:51 PM, Eliane Domingos de Sousa wrote: Hi, You gave me another idea. I'll prepare something in the weekend and I share with the list.
