[libreoffice-marketing] Salon du Logiciel Libre du Québec 2013
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am part of the committee organizing the Salon du Logiciel Libre du Québec 2013, to be held in Quebec province Dec. 11 2013. I am wearing the APELL member hat here (http://www.apell-quebec.ca). Anyone interested in following development in the organization can keep an eye on http://www.s2lq.com/ (not updated for now). This will be an event organized around government organizations and local business providing free software services, as well as community organizations. Since this will be happening in Quebec province, the organization will be looking primarily for francophone speakers, although translation services will be available. This is only to put this event in your radars, I'd appreciate any ideas, requirements or candidates to have LibreOffice properly represented (in particular mass migrations). We already have contacts at the French government but of course confirming such contacts. If there are any questions I can also be reached as usual either off-list or here.

The speculation around this is enough to not use or favor use of such SaaS (software as service) offerings, and in general any non-free software. You can't be sure this won't disappear and recent history with Google products that support free open standards gives every indication it will. Campaigning for ODF file formats while leaving aside considerations for software freedom is not coherent, IMO, and that is why such a campaign without an additional focus on software freedom and web autonomy can't work. - From http://pdfreaders.org/: "Other proprietary alternatives to Adobe's PDF reader also exist, but like it, their internal working is a trade secret and these programs do not respect your right to control your own privacy and data." In fact I am a bit surprised that there aren't malware offerings yet that include ODF reading "capabilities". That will be an interesting vector of attack when it's implemented. > FSF supports ODF aswell as supporting LibreOffice and TDF. They > are separate issues though. Part of their campaign for ODF > includes the crucial point that it can be used (or is even "the > native format" of) quite a large range of different products. I couldn't find references to what you imply. The FSF campaign focuses on free software supports ODF and specifically encourages to reject *any* documents created with Microsoft and iWork: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/opendocument https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/opendocument/reject No mention anywhere of any advantages of ODF being supported by "popular" non-free software, whatever that may mean. Perhaps the only valid reason to use such SaaS and non-free software may be when transitioning to free software, IMO. If LibreOffice marketing can find an angle to that, it may be possible to remain coherent while making a valid argument about why resources are dedicated to non-free platforms at all.

In many cases this doesn't matter, the people deciding are paid not to choose free open source software (which includes LibreOffice). Here in Quebec we have 4 Microsoft lobbyists at the government making sure their software gets chosen in procurement. They also have a full time "open source advocate" that goes to each and every programmer group meeting and sits at their venues to provide free advice and Microsoft development tools. You will need to sit in the same place and be as present as those companies like Microsoft with strong economical incentive to keep Microsoft Office or other solutions in other to displace/replace them. Of course grassroots advocacy is not without any effects. In case that's not clear, a lot of money is involved, and lots of key people are paid not to even examine the options to MS Office. That remains the main obstacle in many places.

[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.

I realize printing to stickers + sticking also takes more time.

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.

The interesting single fact is everyone I introduced free software to (and that mostly started with LibO which everyone needs/understands) had very little hesitation to wipe out completely their PCs and / or MS suite. Their mainly concern is why they didn't know about it before. I had to convince some of them to take a "safer' approach in some cases so LibO would be adopted gradually. In some cases I was lucky to witness "brutal adoption" :) Most students and teacher also have their own laptop (!) so that gave them a lot of control over their learning experience. > Big thanks for the groundbreaking work at MRC. This would look great as a > blog article on our blog planet -- even in French! MRC already used Ubuntu, but the pressure from Microsoft to use only Windows is heavy. At $6 per OEM XP license, it's hard to compete, even being free. MRC is taking the "eco-friendly" approach in their recycling business and place high the same values free software brings, so it was an easy match. I just happened to show up in the right place at the right time. I'd encourage anyone with a nearby recycling/PC shop (particularly small, neighborhood businesses) to engage in this conversation: what software do they ship? Do they know about free, open source software? LibreOffice? Do they know it can be heavily customized/adapated to their local market? etc. Come back here if you have more questions :) > Maybe some of your students will jump in and help out with a Haitian Créole > translation of LibreOffice. Very much so. I don't speak the language but I did bring some focus to my stay to this important subject. The spelling aid is the most important IMO right now, if that is well done many more people will use LibO there. Then there's other similar resources that will get anyone interested to translate and learn such workflows - Wikipedia in Creole and OPenStreetMap documentation in creole. I created the LibrePlanet Haiti group (LIbrePlanet are FSF communities / groups) to keep track / expose these projects more and have a discussion place, such projects are listed there: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Haiti#Traductions One of the students there also translated my presentation on free open source software to Creole and he succesfully co-presented a few times to local staff/students. Translating LibO presentations to Creole (and other languages) would be an interesting first-step (in LibO marketing, specifically) to introduce LibO but also to recruit devs/translators in any country where there aren't any already. Do we have such a presentation? I lack the time to research this but if we have a standard "INtroducing Libo" presentation, I'd love to propose it for translation there.

They had LibreOffice for Windows pre-installed on all PCs, in addition to being dual-boot Ubuntu / Trisquel systems which already included LibreOffice. This all started when I went into MRC's office and starting talking to its owner about putting GNU/Linux and LibO on their systems... :) After a year or so I am happy to see the results! The school I went to is part of a network of several buildings & schools where I had the opportunity to have similar discussions and sometimes leave copies of LibO and GNU/Linux live CDs. I also copied / gave away ~60 copies of the installers during several workshops there, it turned out great. I didn't know there is a spelling dictionary for creole!

I suppose so, like any set of credentials. Why would you do that? What

The lists/articles/groups are public on the website.

It's all available via RSS feeds. This would be the corresponding feed
for my LibreOffice articles:

Several feeds could then be aggregated into a planet/other front ends.
> * maybe this is more than I was anticipating BUT I can definitely see
its usefulness as in a "LibreOffice Reference Library" where people

I am discovering Zotero, it's not a "zero learning curve" experience but
it's easy enough given the possible uses. I am thinking everytime I
visit a bookstore and I see a LibreOffice magazine article or book I can
quickly add its reference for example. Then having a very precise book
list, from different countries/languages would be easy. I am using these
mobile applications:
http://l1bre.ca/l/tags.php/apps+android+zotero
> * can the list be backed up locally on a hardrive?
Yes, you can save all your data locally only or sync it to Zotero's
servers. You can sync your attachments to Zotero's servers (and pay more
for more space) or to your own Webdav server (only limited by your
setup), and you can export all the data in several formats for
local/remote backups.

the webpage where the list would be kept on our site.
I don't see the need for a particular arrangement knowing the space is
not a primary concern, and knowing the rather limited initial audience
for this. "The list" wouldn't be only one as this could generate several
categories and references ("news articles","books", etc.). But that's my
limited impression for now, I tend to focus on the raw data.

[libreoffice-marketing] Article about Visio and PPTX import filters in Linux Pro Magazine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I recently bought this magazine and thought I'd share the reference to a nice article about the Visio and PPTX import filters[1].

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.
