Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice get involved and donation infobars - how often to show them?
As others have pointed out we can have many ways to contribute and support the TDF. Is it possible to merge that info together and others can choose according to their capacity? Frequent request may not be a good idea. I think an interval of six months would be good so that it won't look like forcing people.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Comments to Proposals
Dear Mike, Thank you for the clarification. I was in a perception that we will have to distinguish between the versions which are supporting enterprise and that for normal users. I am wondering how this labeling (tagline) will make people aware if there is no distinguishing factors in offering. Matching customer demand with offering is our aim right? IMHO, probably we need to do a customer segmentation and match the customer with our offering to improve awareness and usability. Please let me know if I am missing something here. (May be I have missed some points in between during very active and long discussion).

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Comments to Proposals
Dear All, I would like to suggest the following. Regarding the label, what do you think about 'Standard'. For enterprise version probably we can have Premium/Prime/Plus. Rationale: it have all the standard functionality and if we need some premium support we need to pay for the same. Regarding, downloader page, in both pages if we have a comparison table with ticks and crosses like in case of slack pricing webpage would be good. We need to list out some important support and product features available in premium version. I am just wondering regarding the following if it is easily doable or not. Have a single Installer file of very small size which will download easily. Then this installer would allow to user to select standard or premium versions. While downloading and installing the LO, provide information regarding features available similar to many GNu/linux show during installation time as a slide show or carousel.

[libreoffice-marketing] Regarding FreeOffice in Manjaro
Dear Team, I am a user of Manjaro for more than three years. I am very happy about it. The team behind Manjaro believes on convenience over freedom many times and their point of view is acceptable for me. They gave all the options to user to choose between the various alternatives (including proprietary ones) to some extend. There are two things that happened in Manjaro, recently which were went against Libreoffice. 1. Due to large size of LO, they moved out the LO from minimal iso. 2. They provide FreeOffice in their iso. Mainly planned to give a option between LO and FreeOffice during installation. This decision came up in the wake of new partnership between Manjaro and Softmaker. Both of them originates from same place and Softmaker went to Manjaro and made this partnership. There are mixed response from the community regarding the adoption of FreeOffice. The point is that LibreOffice needs to work more to keep it in GNU/Linux distro also. We may need to reach out to the various distro teams and work out the deal / partnership. Anybody can visit forum.manjaro.org (in General Discussions) to read more about the community reactions on this issue.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: It's Sunday night - lets fiddle with Calc Threading...
The last one looks good for me. However, the operation which is happening is not visible, so for a common person, he/she may not be able to understand the difference. It would be better if you have the Calc in the background (not just writing what is going on) and keep the system monitor over the Calc.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Self Introduction
Dear Onyeibo, Welcome to the community. As a lecturer in State University you could do a lot by encouraging the next generations to use the LibreOffice and feel the freedom. It will be great if you could get an idea on how much the LibreOffice is prominent among the youngsters in your State University and why (in both cases if they are using and not using). Moreover, you could encourage a small smart group of students to promote the ideals of LibreOffice. @Mike. Good effort Mike. The map looks beautiful and amazing work.

Thank you Mike for sharing MoM. Unfortunately, I could not hear anything yesterday due to some technical glitches.

I think it will be better if we could start organizing events/competitions/workshops focusing on the universities and colleges from where may get a good workforce and team.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] An info graphic
Good work Drew. I will be good if we use the LibreOffice's Green theme across the image and background. Currently only for numeric 4 and bottom only have the color.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing Conference Call
Dear Italo, As I mentioned earlier, I will not be able to attend the conference due to some personal engagement. I would like to make a note on the following things. It is important to increase our presence in the social network. However, I feel that we need to something more at the ground level. We may need to start Special Interest Groups focused on universities and schools. I know already we may have such initiatives. But, if you see the reality - I could say from my experience in Indian scenario - many students use pirated copies of MS Office and many did not hear about our LibreOffice. I am not a supporter of business model put forward by Steve Jobs. But recently, I came across a video regarding his point of view on marketing and it is interesting - Please have a look if you are interested - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keCwRdbwNQY This video raised some doubts regarding how we should place our product. Just explaining many functionalities which may already exist in other Office suites may not be our selling points. Our values in terms of Freedom, Ethics and all these ideas, and customer orientation is very much required. "What can I do for libreoffice" would be a great avenue for the people who would like to contribute. We may need to design the system such a way that anyone can come there and start help us in their own way without messing up our system. Designing the system should not be an imitation of other, but we may need to sit back and see how are development works and how someone could contribute to our ecosystem. I really believe that we need to focus more on mobile devices and even having a crowdfunding model for mobile application development for FREE office suite would be an option.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] New header image for social media channels
>> we need to say what we are at the beginning, with no ambiguity, but Yes. I agree. My concern was that we could mention to whom it would be useful. LibreOffice is more than a software and it is a philosophy like democracy to which I could relate it the most. That is why I added, "For the Humanity/World" similar to "For the people By the people Of the People" used to represent democracy.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Websites we can use to bring in new contributors
Dear Mike, Yes. I was referring to the similar events. Having this sprint as a group activity in different locations would encourage more people to contribute. Having some goodies - even virtual like small certificate of appreciation - softcopy would do - would encourage more and students to participate in such events. We can have our hack fests and Sprints. We need to encourage more and more students and young people to contribute. It also should help them to learn and add some value to their life. It will be great if we have good collaboration with development team and if they could classify the issues that could be take up in Sprints/Hackfest into different levels and mark them as Beginner (Easy Hack), Medium, Expert (or 5 levels) according to their wish.Also it could be prioritized and marked as urgent, non-urgent, etc. Provide only those issues similar to the way we present in Sprint week page. Share this information across different social media and urge the sprint teams to join us online on one or two days across the world. In case of Mozilla they used Gitter and ether pad for collaboration. Most important thing is that if the contributors/sprinters have something to take hope as a token of appreciation would encourage lots of people to join. Even stickers, softcopy of certificate would be a good option. We can take this up. Is it possible to get contact of the people who organised the hack fests in past?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Websites we can use to bring in new contributors
Dear All, Recently, I participated in Mozilla Sprint 2018. The similar concepts would be a good way to reach out to the people and community. We can have Sprint like concepts for the Libre Office projects alone with appropriate promotion. The steps that could be solved are: 1 . identifying the pain points need urgent and crowd support to solve it. 2. Asking the community to put forward the necessary items to be solved. 3. Select the list of projects to be used for Sprint of 1-2 days. 4. Provide platform for learn, collaborate and implement solutions. 5. Promote the events by sharing the mementos and goodies to the early birds and great contributors.
