Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Magazine -- official monthly magazine to the LibreOffice world

2010-11-27 Thread Sadiq Saif
I agree with Dhiren here. It might be difficult to produce unique and 
interesting content for the duration of one month.


Also, I assume the magazine will be in PDF format?

Hello Marc
Its a great idea, and should be checked for feasibility.
Just a thought,
A quarterly periodical might be easier to manage initially.
Plus it would be easier to collect content over 3 months.

Ok if this peaked your interest, then we should really plan on having a
team producing such a beast.

Just an idea.

Opinions?

  Hi,
 
  I was curious, does LibreOffice/TDF have an official IRC channel for
  discussion/support? Sorry if this was posted on the discuss mailing list.

  Price may be one marketing point, though this may be offset by training
 and
 support costs. But we must keep in mind the huge amount of mind share that
 MS Office has build up over the years. People are too used to Office and
 how
 it works. In fact even if LibreOffice is better (we hope) than MS Office,
 we
 still won't see a widespread adoption of LibreOffice or FOSS software for
 that matter. I am pretty sure that big school boards like the TDSB have
 contracts with Microsoft as well.

 Thanks for the note Sadiq. Yes, the training and support costs could be a
 problem if LibO does not have the infrastructure to take care of a general
 use help desk type of mailist. But so far, the user mailist on OOo has been
 great. Our new LibO user mailist is new and is just started to attract
 attention from users. We just have to market it properly.

 BTW, you speak of large boards like the TDSB. Are you Canadian?
