[libreoffice-marketing] Regarding video / ISO archives
Hi I noticed that archive.org recently updated their upload interface. It is easier to use now. I've mentioned archive.org previously as a very good place to upload videos, specially as they transcode to other formats and provide clean, direct access to all files for direct download without restrictions (as opposed to YouTube for example). It just occurred to me it can also be used for ISO images. Let me be very clear, I am not saying *ONLY* use archive.org. Use whatever you want to upload videos to, as long as a copy sits somewhere on archive.org (legally, of course). Perhaps it should be mentioned in the wiki as a place we suggest uploading to, with a LibreOffice common tag.

The many variations made me think generating such versions could be somehow automated in the future on the website. Thank you for your work. I find it specially useful to have direct links to PDF renders. One important detail I noticed in my printing tests, the LibreOffice logo on the left seems to be low-resolution, which results in poor print quality. Can this be fixed? Most people may not notice but it's low enough resolution that it looks blurry even on the screen when I open the PDF. I am using evince 3.4.0 in Trisquel if that matters, a Windows version is available here: http://www.pdfreaders.org. I would do this correction myself on a single document but there are 16 variations of it that would need to be corrected/re-generated/re-uploaded, and I will most surely forget some detail (fonts, etc.) that will make it look different. I will be looking into translating some of these so if this isn't fixed by release I will take the time to do it. Mentioning any extra fonts used (if any) and linking to the high-resolution version of the logos on that same page may be useful for translators too in the near future. I love the instructions on the back too :) I believe there was some recent discussion about measuring the # of downloads for another document and the difficulty of doing this on the Wiki. It will be important to measure how many downloads there are for these variations of the PDF, so in the future we can focus on those that are most used / drop those that aren't at all.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice in the Press -- Proposal
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 06/09/2012 04:10 AM, Marc Paré wrote: I would like to propose this: That the LibreOffice in the Press entries be input into a Google Calendar that could be read both on the wiki as well as on the website. The location of the link on the website would be under the About Us button next to the Events Calendar button. [...] The present LibreOffice in the Press is really not being used for any purpose other than the occasional dissection for marketing purposes. This will raise its profile on our website and create more of a buzz for the product. We could still pull data from this form of reporting for marketing purposes. [...] +1, although with a nuance concerning using Google tools. The tasks at hand and the tools required should be two different decisions here. I agree we need a better way to share such resources but most importantly, to welcome and encourage people to keep an eye on such references and gather+curate them. Using a tool like Zotero - http://www.zotero.org - we could help preserve and curate such content while making it available to press scholars (and the general public too), and inviting them to contribute without requiring a Google account. This would be specially useful to people preparing proposals, studies and research for LibreOffice.. while using LibreOffice + Zotero :D I am no expert with Zotero, but I know a few. I personally favored using bookmarking tools (ala Delicious) like Semantic Scuttle because that's what I knew best, but I am learning about Zotero to use it as I see more potential there. Zotero is free, open source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials (such as PDFs). Notable features include web browser integration, online syncing, generation of in-text citations, footnotes and bibliographies, as well as integration with the word processors Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org Writer and NeoOffice. It is produced by the Center for History and New Media of George Mason University (GMU). (from Wikipedia). It's also another way students / researchers in academia are discovering / using LibreOffice, increasingly. Regarding Semantic Scuttle, see http://l1bre.ca/l/bookmarks.php/magicfab/libreoffice+press for an example - add +en to the query for English bookmarks only. Both Zotero and Semantic Scuttle - http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/ - are similar in the service they'd provide to what Italo Vignoli did at some point with Evernote: http://www.evernote.com/pub/italovignoli/lofrench - which requires an account there, I believe :( Zotero and Semantic Scuttle are also free, open source software which can be implemented on TDF's own servers for mutual benefits. When you think about this kind of approach it is very consistent with the TDF mission and goals. Yes, it requires more effort time but we need to aim for this in addition to the easy / quick solutions first. In fact Semantic Scuttle/Zotero can be used to feed other information sources. I recently was hospitalized after a surgery that had some complications so my time is limited for this during the next 4-8 weeks, but I am gradually coming back to online / FLOSS consulting activities. This reminds me to focus a bit more on gathering such resources (press) in either/both my Zotero/Semantic Scuttle accounts, so in a few more days I may be able to better make my point and help more with this. If others feel this makes sense we can work together, otherwise I am happy to share my resources and compare results later on so the best decision can take this forward.
