[libreoffice-marketing] Event report: Kyushu LibreOffice meetup
Hello mates, Here is a short report of Kyushu LibreOffice meetup 2018 on Dec. 9 (Sun). - We had two goals of this meetup; (a) let Japanese NLP members apply to TDF membership, (b) make a relationship between the east-Asian LibO communities stronger - This meetup gathered 18 attendees, including 7 Japanese NLP members - We invited Franklin Weng from Taiwan and our BoD, and DaeHyun Sung from Korea. And Shinji Enoki took three internship students from different African countries. So we can say this meetup was quite internationalized ;) - Franklin gave us a talk about TDF history, benefits to becoming a member, and donations. After that, four candidates in Japan (more precisely, all Japanese NLP members who aren't TDF members) had applied to TDF membership. - We discussed LibreOffice marketing specifically in the Japanese market. Franklin kindly shared some topics from Taiwan and global discussion. In Taiwan they use SNS (such as Facebook) well, so we could follow them. Continuous and interesting post is needed. - DaeHyun told us HWP (Hangul Word Processor), Korean local word processor, and what improvements are needed for us to replace it in the Korean market (especially for public sectors) - Koutarou Watanabe told how to operate Base with LibO Basic macro. Although Base does not aim for access compatibility, users often compare with Access, and from this point of view, there were some missing features in Base. For example, importing from Calc is possible on a GUI basis, but there is no command can be executed by macro, Mr. Watanabe made the import macro by myself. He summarized that Base is one of the killer application of LibreOffice but need to brush it up, and this presentation might help it. - I believe both of our two goals has been achieved! :) Thanks to Franklin and DaeHyun for coming to our meetup and improve our discussion!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] A LibreOffice migration example in Japan
Hi Simon, 2015-04-03 4:43 GMT+09:00 Simon Phipps : > Many thanks for sharing this! Has there been any media coverage of the > migration? We, Japanese community, have gathered the organizations which use LibreOffice[1]. According the page, ITPro, the Japanese well-known web media for IT division, covered the news about their migration [2], and their manual publishing[3][4]. All pages are in Japanese (sorry), but some translation service (like google) helps you.

[libreoffice-marketing] A LibreOffice migration example in Japan
Hi, I want to share a good case study of LibreOffice Migration in Japan, and I hope here is a right place to do this. In Japan, we have some users, which migrated to LibreOffice as their primary office suite. The JA (Japan Agricultural) Fukuoka-city is one of the greatest examples of successful migration. Mr. Watanabe had been an IT manager of them, who had lead the migration to LibreOffice, and he is still passionate to LibreOffice community, as if he already left the position. Here is a great slide about the JA Fukuoka-city by Mr. Watanabe. I believe it's worth to read.

[libreoffice-marketing] Tokushima prefecture published LibreOffice manuals under CC BY 4.0
Hi *, Just short information from Japan. Tokushima prefecture[1][2], located Shikoku-island in Japan, published their own LibreOffice manuals[3] under CC BY 4.0 license. Here is the rough translation of their comment in the page [3]: - Tokushima prefecture utilizes LibreOffice as a fee-free usable office suite. We already created operation manuals for our employees to apply everyday works, and now we decided to publish them on our website to let residents know strength to use fee-free LibreOffice well.

I seem it's usual that "the community" includes "users" in FLOSS world, so the phrase such as "...the community has waited" is not only for us, but also for everyone. I mean, it's a very important point to use LibreOffice; everyone can Use LibreOffice, and can send request functional enhancements, can report a bug, and can say their friends "hey I use LibreOffice and it's awesome!" Everything is contribution and everything is free for users. I believe the best way to use LibreOffice well is to make sense users can grow LibreOffice itself. It's a great right. Of course it's a RIGHT but a MANDATORY. I'm not a special about marketing, but we might be able to change some words for > - I have seen on several occasions, that it is still called the Libre > Office Project. Why? Libre Office just released version 4. This is a > mature project and can be used without flaws. I would remove the > project. "Project" sounds unfinished, not done yet, we are working on > that, etc. For me it's good knowledge about English. I don't have such sense about the word "project" (because English is my mother tongue). Very common FLOSS already stable uses the word "project" such as: Apache web server: http://httpd.apache.org/ GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/ Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/en/ or many more. But some others not use the word "project" such as: Debian: http://www.debian.org/ And Firefox might be same (I can't see their English page in my environment; but in Japanese page, they don't use the word "project." In my feeling LibreOffice released stable "products" but still running "project," Both words are correct. It's a really marketing issue. > - As you are trying to offer Libre Office for download and ask for > developers on the same website, I believe, the community aspect is > pretty strong for many visitors.

In my understanding, we don't have a classic-style quality assurance process; end users try a early-adopters version (currently 4.1.x) and file bugs, then QA team care which should be fixed or not. It's our QA system. (If I'm wrong please let me know). Of course users can choose a stable version (currently 4.0.x). But why it became stable? Because people use former "unstable" 4.0.x, filed bugs, QA team triaged them, and developers fixed them. It's our way. I don't have a good idea to separate unstable one and stable one with keeping current our QA process. > - Focus on two or three more strengths of LO over MSO besides being > free - for example, you have a portable version.

[libreoffice-marketing] RE: LibreOffice branding and marketing
Hi everyone, This mail is a seed of discussion, from marketing professional. My fellow, Shinji Enoki, had met Mr. Chris Kruppa in the event "Agile tour Osaka" in Japan. Chris is a marketing specialist, and a LibreOffice user (great!). He gave us a very worth advice for us about our branding and marketing from his professional point of view. We, Japanese community want to share it all of you, and Chris allowed. Chris: Thanks! Please remind: Chris doesn't feed the list, so if you want tell some to Chris, please CC him (his address is in the mail).

Attendees are developers, community members, companies which has responsibility about FLOSS, and casual users. OSC Tokyo is biggest one.

Yes, we, Japanese use LibreOffice name in latin characters. But some Japanese media hava a rule to use in Katakana, phonogramic character, so we have to write "リブレオフィス." It's a special case. Basically "Libre" is not so famous word in our company, so we sometimes need to describe "Libre means freedom (in Japanese, 自由)" but we don't translate the LibreOffice name itself because it's a proper name.

Our miniconf will be held 23th Feb. JST, so I want to use this weekend to prepare the event, for example, adding Japanese caption on the video. Of course I'll be happy that I will get it earlier, but I don't want to rush all of you; lots of works you might have. I only want to know current status.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Japanese page on FB
Hi Tom, Yes, I'm not a specialist to handle movies or such kind of marketing materials, so I believe you're right. Thanks for giving a good advice. Italo, I have changed my mind, the video should within 3 minutes. We'll use it it the first track of our miniconf, and play on the table during each break time. And possibly we'll upload "Japanese captioned" version on YouTube after the miniconf, so could you make sure the License? CC-BY-SA 3.0 might be suitable.

Hi Italo, > We will produce the video at FOSDEM in Brussels, so we will make it of > the length most appropriate for your needs. Great! It must be a really nice gift for our community. Hmm... 5 minutes enough I think because our miniconf will have too tight scheduled track (little sad, but it will be just first step). And if possible, could you give me a transcript of the video with itself? It will help us to create Japanese caption on it.

Hi Marc, Charles and Itaro, Please let us (Japanese community) say thanks for your effort and kindness. It's a big gift for us! Could you ask you how long the video is? If possible, we'll add captions in Japanese on the video, and we want to guess how hard to do.

Thanks to let me know. It's totally my fault. I fixed it now.

Alright. Pending to post is good judgement I think. Thanks.
Right now, I want to send cfp about next free end-users computing
not only desktop but also mobile, tablet, ... I might touch about LibreOffice
maybe, but I'm not sure the program committee will accepts or not.
And also I hope some marketing ppl also send cfp about LibreOffice for the
event, but currently it's not fixed.
But still I want to keep the event in Wiki page because I want to see you
LibreOffice guys in the conference. Can I?

Thank you for correcting my mistake, however, I can't found out link [3]
in your mail. Which page you corrected? Please let me know.
Sorry to spend your time and thanks again,

Right now our community is growing but not strong enough to host our own international event, but in the (near, I hope) future, we may ask someone visit to Japan and talk for Japanese LibreOffice fan :) > BTW, I checked the JA events wiki page, the first two events, in the > comments column, the links do not lead to a wiki page -- there is an extra > character at the end or your link on the wiki page that you should remove to > make the weblink work. Very sorry, I've mistaken. Already fixed. Check the page please. And also I made a English wiki page about our first whole-day conference: [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/LibOCon_mini_JP Yes it is Japanese local event and every sessions will have in Japanese, but it is a symbolic event for us, and a good opportunity to let people know our activities.

So if you have any question Japanese specific, please let me know. > I will update that speech for POSSCON in the US (which happens at the > end of March), so I will have a good starting point. Good.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi, > I might be available for handling this, but I would like to understand > if a simple session is enough or we should apply for a workshop, or a > session plus a workshop (which could be in another location). I think a simple session is enough. LinuxCon (not only Japan, also EU, NA and Brasil) is "technical" event but most of attendees are "Linux" developers, they are not familiar about desktop world technically. Because the event is "marketing" opportunity for us. So they might have interest success stories of our project, MSO migrate examples, eco systems, why most of Linux distros stands our side, ... For example, the session "The state of the project" in LibOCon is good, but need to update and little modification for "outside" of LibreOffice community people. It's just an idea, you can choose another theme. > I will also write > Jennifer Cloer to understand which are the options. Yes, it's good idea.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Japanese page on FB
Hi Marc, > Just to add to this, if there are any events happening in JA, leave a note > here on the marketing list and we will add them to our Events Calendar > (website and wiki). This will give you more exposure for your group.[1] Alright, Last year we had been attended lots of Open Source events in Japan, and we had hosted several LibreOffice-only events. Here[1] is a Japanese wiki page, but you can understand how many events we had :) So my idea is we'll choose these kinds of events: 1) hosted by Japanese LibreOffice community 2) not hosted by LibreOffice, but international about such events, I'll add information in Wiki[2], and also post here. Now we have tree events, see wiki [2] and if you need additional information please let me know. And... if someone in this list (actually LibreOffice ppl) have a plan to come to Japan, preparing casual meet-up is our pleasure.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Japanese page on FB
Everyone, Happy New Year!

Thanks! We have spent a lot of time to attend Japanese local Open Source event.

It's very interesting > for all of us and help us to learn how to put the same things in place > in our own language. Of course I'll do but please wait quite a long. Because I'm very new of LibreOffice community, and Japanese community has a long history from OOo era, so I don't know why we're doing so or we're not doing so. I want whole of our activities, then I'll summarize then, then I'll tell what "we" and "I" want. Anyway, if we, Japanese commmunity have some problem and need a solution, need a discussion where we should go, looking for any good success-stories, I promise I'll share these issue in here, not "closed" Japanese community.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Japanese page on FB
Hi Sophie, all, Thanks for comment to Japanese community work :) > Just to let you know about the Japanese page on FB here : > https://www.facebook.com/LibreofficeStudyJapan > From my (poor) Japanese understanding, it's about meetings on > LibreOffice study currently in Kanto, Kansai and Kyushu. > Anybody from the Japanese group to talk a bit more about it? Yes, your understanding is perfect! This FB group is META group to discuss how we can start, continue or manage the LibreOffice offline meetings in each places. It's very young, limited target group, but I hope it helps people who want to do something about LibreOffice meetings in Japan. And we have another group "LibreOffice (日本語)" : https://www.facebook.com/LibreOfficeJa Its more famous, widely used FB group in Japan. We use the group to share the news, topics or something interest about LibreOffice in Japanese. currently 184 ppl likes it. To be honest, our core community members mostly likes ML or Twitter than FB, but we know FB is powerful tool to reach many casual (non-geek) users that's why we care the group.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi Charles, Kohei-san, all, > I'm putting Kohei Yoshida in cc of this message. We need the support > with the japanese community for that. Thanks for picking my mail. And sorry for misleading without enough information about this event: - LinuxCon Japan is NOT Japanese event. All sessions are in English (except some keynotes; but they have interpreters) - Of course most of all attendees except speakers will be Japanese, however, they might understand the event is international; so they can join English discussion. - I know LinuxCon Japan had some desktop tracks (GNOME3, Ubuntu Unity and Desktop Linux itself), so LibreOffice seems also suitable. - However, most of attendees are Linux ppl and they have less LibreOffice inside knowledge, so I think they have interest about our community inside, ecosystem, MS Office migration or such kind of marketing theme (because I post first mail in -marketing ML) much more LibreOffice technical inside. - Of course, LibreOffice Japanese community (includes me) will help you; global LibreOffice ppl; both of on time of conference and off time (if you want). I know my English is not so well, but I want to help you (any ppl in the list) if you have interest to have a session about LibreOffice in Japan ;) Thanks, -- Naruhiko Ogasawara (naru...@gmail.com) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi -marketing listmates, LinuxCon Japan 2013[1], one of the most biggest Asia international Linux / FLOSS event by The Linux Foundation, looking for speakers[2]. This event titled "LinuxCon," however, you might know, lots of kind of FLOSS related session such as desktop environment, community building, etc. are welcome. All of session will be in English; no Japanese needed. Anyone have a plan to send CFP for this event? It's big chance for Japanese/Asian people to know how LibreOffice and our really active and open community are nice! I'll also send CFP not for LibreOffice, but if it will be accepted or not I might be there. If someone will come and will meet in Tokyo I'm really happy! The venue, Chinzan-so[3] combines hotel and conference center; it is very good place; beautiful garden, very luxury hotel and close to Akihabara :) Please consider to come Jappan!
