Hello Mike,
This is very good news, I also noticed it's linked among the other
social media on the main website at https://www.libreoffice.org.

I wasn't aware of the language restriction :(
Mastodon works a bit differently and the expectation is not to have role
accounts but rather individuals, and organizations self-hosting their
instance. The web interface also allows to filter content by language,
see: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/wFTikYtDXCJWLsH
@libreoff...@fosstodon.org may be the exception for the main
organization for
now.https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/wFTikYtDXCJWLsH
I think encouraging current TDF members, LO members and
developers/contributors having their own accounts and posting to them
under #libreoffice would be the best approach.
As an end-user I don't want to follow a single language-specific
resource risking to miss other posts.

Is it feasible for TDF to host their own and provide accounts for
contributors on their own name and encourage its marketing/social media
contributors to post from there? Similar to how the Ubuntu project
provides @ubuntu.com email to contributors. Perhaps a commercial
provider like masto.host <https://masto.host/> could help in the short term.

Yes, PeerTube would be interesting to add to share videos. Self-hosting on day one may not be immediately feasible, other existing instances may be used initially. Regarding Facebook, I am not sure how you measure that efficiency but we're past the point of naively believing it only has benefits, in fact it's the opposite. Look at the right column "Facebook in the news" at https://deletefacebook.com/ or "Reasons not to use Facebook <https://stallman.org/facebook.html>". Right now https://www.libreoffice.org suggests using Twitter, Facebook, G+ (which is effectively dead), YouTube and Reddit: 100% non-free platforms where anyone deciding not to use them can't contribute to spread the word. diaspora*, Mastodon, discourse and others could be considered as viable alternatives now, but I think it should be another thread and given proper discussion space. > I'll provide an update about PeerTube when I have more info!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] YouTube channel: community posts unlocked
I would like to see more content on non-GAFAM platforms, relying too much or exclusively on YouTube comes with important restrictions and the risk of having such content removed or unavailable. It also encourages joining such platforms which is not possible and often incoherent with values associated to using LibreOffice in the first place. F.

You could mention this in two places: - at the beginning when you show a slide with license information, simply indicate "this presnetation, BTW, has been done with LibreOffice and is licensed under %. You can download it from the Marketing Team page at libreoffice.org - I'll elaborate later on this" - when you reach the point where you mention the marketing team, "...as other teams, the Marketing team has a section/page/wiki dedicated to it [...] where you will find among other things our logos, fonts, and presentations (including this one) which community and enterprise contributors use in LibO advocacy"...

A few comments: - It'd be nice if the presentation had clear licensing information on each slide, with a slide dedicated to it at its beginning and another at the end. I'd suggest GFDL but other exist. I don't specially like CC-BY-SA unless you explain it and don't use NC (my opinion). - Make sure while talking about the license you indicate clearly where this presentation is available (Marketing wiki should be the first place) - Slide #14 doesn't seem to add much. It also has an important mistake, Draw is not equivalent to MS Publisher and may raise expectations that can't be met. Same for Base vs. Access. - 2 slides of history for an unconference seems a bit much. when I present and explain this bit I simply state 3 highlights: -- LIbreOffice original codebase is 10+ years -- Sun bought it originally, and it's been a commercial product that inherited restrictions and problems of non-free products + business models -- When Oracle bought Sun they failed at embracing a truly free open source business model, which precipitated TDF and LibreOffice fork. I also mention most free open source software projects health can be directly measured by the community size/participation, foundation/organization(s) behind the project, and their governance structure - Under "Why LibreOffice", it's a bit repetitive. I expect the history part would cover that, just as I mentioned above - I believe a critical problem is that a corporation owns the trademark, and as such has complete control of the project in many ways, you could cite Firefox as an example. This is (as I understand it) one particular reason why OOo can't be considered strictly free. Java dependency (particularly on Windows + Mac platform) may be a better way to explain the non-freedom bit - I'll gladly stand corrected - Cloud office doesn't strike me as related to the decision to lauch TDF + LibO As a general feeling, the red fonts and focus on all the Oracle mentions seems like justification and bashing, when the door should remain open for them to contribute and we should focus on the positive aspects of the project. I am not sure how much longer we should put emphasis on the problems that lead to LibO, instead of focusing on how much common sense there is in any FLOSS project having such governance (the current one, and looking forward). Ah, and one last bit, in the interest of "dogfooding", please do not publish your presentation on SlideShare only. They still advertise "uploaded as OpenOffice", and their terms of use add important restrictions to any content you upload there. This has improved in the last 2 years (they use to restrict it for personal use, only use Flash, etc), but remains problematic, or at the very least inconsistent when you are presenting about free software. Please consider uploading your presentation to the Marketing section of the wiki, and you can mention this in your presentation too. I hope this is useful, and don't expect everyone to agree to every bit of it - by all means let us know when/if you update the presentation and when its next version is available.

Charles, I think Marc referred to hosting 4GB+ sized ISO files, perhaps more. That's not possible with the wiki AFAIK and downloads, if popular, could strain the wiki infrastructure - I'll gladly stand corrected.

[libreoffice-marketing] Updated on my French-Canadian LibO remix DVD
Hello, I've updated my LibO DVD remix with LibreOffice 3.3.1. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:MagicFab/LibODVD The changelog is here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:MagicFab/LibODVD#Changelog This is not something competing with the other DVD / box projects. I'll most probably end up contributing to those as well, as time permits - meanwhile any of this is of course available for anyone to use in such projects - if re-licensing is needed just let me know. So far response has been great - I have distributed about 60 such DVDs and several local, small computer stores will be carrying them starting next week. This is mostly to support workshops and training I give locally. Cheers, -- LibreOffice questions ? Des questions sur LibreOffice ? Preguntas acerca de LibreOffice ?

Whatever issues there are with this font aren't specific to GNU/Linux. The biggest problem is it's lack of any special characters / unicode support.

Hi Charles, Thank you for your comments - don't be sorry! :) As I've mentioned before this is for a very specific use and I am aware of other developments regarding the trademark. Unfortunately I printed my labels and put them on DVDs last night so these will go as-is. I am not sure how else I can make clear this label (and DVD structure) is my own other than the fact it's in my wiki space, has clear attribution and licensing, and I have explained all the process to create it publically. I am following trademark developments closely and my label will change accordingly either when I notice or when I am asked to (I have subscribed relevant wiki pages too). I am not producing 3000 DVDs right away! I am also limited by my own capacity to burn, print labels & stick them on DVDs, manually. BTW I used the original fonts as indicated in the branding page (which I had to trace back, translate licensing information from Japanese and update in our own wiki). Regarding my name, it's there precisely to indicate this is not distributed by TDF and this production (~50 DVDs) will be hand-distributed with a clear indication that I produced them myself (if people don't get to read the whole text on the DVD). Of course I am also promoting my services and bundling this with a (free) workshop. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. I also hope part of this discussion is useful for other DVD distributors.

Hi Mike, I am not in the design team and I needed these rather quickly. I am just sharing what I am doing, now that you mention it I hope someone from the design team is sitting on both lists (or vice-versa). I am only making 50 for this run, I'll be distributing them in person in a workshop I am giving (Introduction to Free Software & GNU/Linux). I'll gladly adopt/adapt any other label(s) in the making!

I noticed an error dialog popping up at some point - do you think this could be removed somehow ? May I suggest that you upload the video to archive.org, you could then embed it using Flash and propose it for downloading in several formats (including Ogg Theora).

Hi Charles, The logo is licensed under the Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 Unported License ( http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice_Initial-Artwork-Logo_ColorLogoContemporary_2000px.png ), and the LibO files I include are all identical to the original downloads. Why should I take out the logo ? That reminds me perhaps I should indicate attribution for the logo, would that be Christoph Noack or TDF ? If we have the same approach to any new contributors producing marketing material I fear we won't get much traction with such projects. I'll keep the published files on the wiki unmodified for now. > > BTW; I'm very interested in starting a physical distribution team for > LibreOffice, something official. Would you like to join? > In my limited capacity for this, yes. I've been doing this for quite some time for the Ubuntu project and did before for OpenOffice.org so I have a few ideas - but mostly a constant need to distirbute DVDs/USB keys. One project that didn't take off (mostly because of the free ship-it CDs I guess) was "Ubuntu in Libraires" - perhaps a more sensible approach would be to register different LibO distributions and media as media publications with an ISSN for library donation... I'll start another thread on that sometime. See this link for details about the stalled Ubuntu in Libraries: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuInLibraries Let me know what you think.

[libreoffice-marketing] LibO DVD distribution for Quebec (Canada)
Greetings I've been giving away LibreOffice DVDs for a few weeks now, and since I needed something with better presentation I've put together a LibreOffice DVD distribution and label. This is for low-volume distribution, using a home-grade inkjet printer, which I will be doing personally but also as part of workshops and courses on free software here in Montreal. I described how I put together the DVD here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:MagicFab/LibODVD Some details are not finished yet but I welcome any comments and suggestions. Keep in mind many things there are very specific to my own usage. While doing this I also learned that the LibreOffice logo font (Vegur) is Public Domain.
