I'm happy to post stickers to supporters :-) We have to be careful that it doesn't look like a general offer, and then hundreds of people on social media start requesting them (and we let people down). But if you think those two deserve some, I can post them! I see that you've requested a DM from them. Please tell them to contact me via email, preferably in English, and I'll sort out the rest.

I think this is great. Perhaps it would make sense to update this wiki page with some information. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Boinc Or perhaps create a page more generic to this type of CPU sharing use and have homefolding and boinc as sub-pages. Anyway, will join in the homefolding work with one of the machines here at the house.

Hi there :) Indeed, I'm "wget" :) I wanted to do the introduction of the Folding@home idea to the community yesterday, but it appears you were faster than me at doing this. I initially thought that the LibreOffice team would be unnoticed, but it went noticed after all. And that's great! :) # The story behind the creation of the LibreOffice team For the record, as I'm preparing slowly but surly a server farm at home (fully resilient network, power supply, etc.) for virtual hackathons[1] for the LibreOfficeFR[2] community, I needed to test some servers and instead of putting some load on the machine for basically nothing, I thought to Folding@Home. :) As folding under no-name would have been a waste, I thought it could be nice to leverage this for LibreOffice =) I saw there was no LibreOffice team :( and the team name was free for anyone to take :/. Seeing the LibreOffice team name being taken by someone not from the community would have been more annoying to recover afterwards, I decided to register it :) # What LibreOffice can do to fight COVID-19? "@libreoffice has been very helpful for @openlung and the #openlung project. #engineers #researchers and #doctors can share their ideas more fluidly using this freely available, open source office suite software." From a marketing POV, this nice tweet we get is interesting for a big reason: momentum[3]. As plenty of companies are publishing "what we do to fight COVID-19" banners everywhere, let's leverage on this and say: what could LibreOffice do to help them (the researchers) and fight COVID-19? Even if I don't want to be cliché, we are devs and contributors, we are already staying at home most of the time =D. How can we bring this even further? So the idea is to publish a campaign on social media and on our blog and ask our users to fold under the name of LibreOffice to help research. (I can provide beautiful eye-catching social media images, since LibreOfficeFR has now a license with icons8.com.) We should also provide a video explaining how to use the Folding@home software to fold under the name of LibreOffice. My new graphic card is arriving on April 27th though, so I'll have a hard time doing this in a short period of time :/. # Ask the infra team Also, but we need to see this with the infra team, maybe we could leverage the build servers we have to help with folding as I imagine these are not always being used 100% of the time? The app of Folding@home is detecting when the machine is being used. IIRC, we can also define specific time periods. Having the LibreOffice team trending will be great.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] A LibreOffice team for Folding@home
Writing this down in a persistent mailing list. Chat instances are volatile.

Like discussed on Telegram, when something is trending everywhere you need to act in quite an urgency. Seeing the LibreOffice team name being taken by someone not from the community would have been more annoying to recover afterwards.[1] The same applies basically with everything for which asking for agreement would take an eternity to resolve.[2] Time flies faster on social media than in real life. Stopping here because I could do other things more meaningful for the community instead of quibbling for basically no reason. But I'm keeping your remark with great attention in my head. My huge number of mails with @libreoffice.org is indeed a problem I need to resolve fast. I'm receiving more of them than I can answer a day unfortunately. :( Hard work pays off :) Let's keep the hard work rolling =) Regards, [1] cf. libreoffice.fr [2] https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/msg15684.html -- William Gathoye Hypertive volunteer for LibreOffice Proud member of The Document Foundation Member of LaMouette - French based association promoting ODF and LibreOffice -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[libreoffice-marketing] Ability to get some LibO stickers
Hi there, I know we usually don't do this and this is more an exception than a rule, but two of the LibreOfficeFR followers would like to have some LibreOffice stickers. They have been supportive for a bunch of time now and giving them some stickers would definitely help in spreading the word of LibreOffice. Thanks in advance for them =) Regards, [1] https://twitter.com/FeltenPsy/status/1252347800894894081 [2] https://twitter.com/ecolo_24/status/1252356254707507204 -- William Gathoye Hypertive volunteer for LibreOffice Proud member of The Document Foundation Member of LaMouette - French based association promoting ODF and LibreOffice -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
