Fwd: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] MARKETING PLAN: Some Proposals
Hi All,
I suggest to change "LibreOffice Free Edition” into "LibreOffice Sponsored
Edition”
Free is to much like cheap. While it is real quality from the community. But
sponsored by the contributors.
It might make it feel more desirable than cheap free stuff. And keeps user
aware that they could help by contributing a bit.
Met vriendelijke groet,
With kind regards,

LibreOffice Tech Edition [Technology/Technical/ Technology Preview]
LibreOffice Free Edition
LibreOffice Engineering Edition
LibreOffice Frontrunner Edition
Basic also feels limited. Classic sounds old.
Community/Personal are not it
Rolling doesn't sound well (still think it should be mentioned
somewhere; but not as edition phrase)
--
About position of the edition text: title bar, about box, start center,
artwork etc.
No strong opinion here; as long as they as long as it blends in. Nice
font, font color etc.

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [tdf-discuss] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?
Congratulations! The good news is: Microsoft takes the effort to write a document against LO&OO! If there is no threath, there is no reason to do so! - OpenERP integrates best with LibreOffice and OpenOffice ( http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/book/8/8_20_Config/8_20_Config_reports.html) and not with MS-Word. (more cost effective than other business solutions) - Work tool aware organisations don't fall in the MS overtooling trap (a big issue for document management). Work files should be .odf and presentation and archiving files should be .pdf - MS - Office does not support all .odf 1.2 functionality (comments?) - Email clients for desktops will soon be outdated. Not for no reason Mozilla stoped with the Thunderbird development Calendering today is a typical cloud application. - By the way sending documents with email from LO works fine... - MS Outlook integration is based on legacy standards causing all kind of problems for receivers with no MS software (The .dat attachment problem) - Desktop calendaring (Outlook) will soon be outdated - Cloud colaberation tools like Google Drive work fine with OO and LO. Who needs colaboration tools outside the cloud? - Pivot tables work (different) - Last but not least LibreOffice features NO foot in the door file format trap! Also called vendor-lock. So where is the argument? LibreOffice; Write is a perfect workdocument editing tool with great archive (pdf) creation tool integrated, Calc is a perfect spreadsheet tool with great archive (pdf) creation tool integrated, Impress is a perfect presentation creation tool with great archive (pdf) creation tool integrated, is a great platform for business administration automation with an integrated IDE and a nice set of database tools included, All for less than half the price! ;-) And LibreOffice Works on Windows and OSX for the same price. In fact all the USPs for Word, Excel and Powerpoint disappear in a cloud of dust. MS clearly tries to sell outdated USPs as unique to the Late Majority. Time for the Early Majority to switch! Time for LibreOffice!
