[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Wikipedia editing.

2013-02-18 Thread Marc Paré

Hi Simon,

IMO, unfortunately, I find all of the OpenOffice.org wiki page debate 
quite distracting to our project. I am afraid that it is a debate that 
we will never win and one that will most likely outlast us all on the 
project if we keep it up.


I myself would rather see us abandon the "eyes on" the OpenOffice.org or 
AOO Wikipedia pages and let AOO mess it up on their own ... it looks 
like they have enough help from some characters there. We would be 
better off watching our own LibreOffice Wikipedia page and keeping 
correct history there. LibreOffice has the momentum and has clearly 
overtaken AOO and they are quite frankly, no contender to LibreOffice.


Let them follow us rather than us following them. They can do the 
catching up ... and a lot of it, if they can.


Cheers,

Marc

Let's get our LibreOffice Wikipage

Hi Dave,

I think it's also worth keeping an eye on related pages and making sure the
treatment of LibreOffice is fair and balanced.  For example, instead of
having http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org and covering the history
of the project and pointing to its successors, the page just redirects to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice - something that to me at least
seems to embody a partial point of view. At the very least the talk pages
need following and citable sources contributed.

Cheers,

S.

It's in the article I pointed :
 Today, nine ministries compose the core of the working group: Energy
(Ecologie), Defence (Défense), Interior (Intérieur), Justice,
Agriculture, Culture and Communication, Education and Finance. MIMO's
open source office tools can potentially be deployed on 500 000
desktops, where OpenOffice is already installed. The Interior Ministry
is responsible for the largest deployment project, with 240 000 desktops.

Kind regards
Sophie

Jeff;

Sophie does flesh out in a bit more detail who, in the French 
government, are using LibreOffice but there are still no numbers. 
Googling only finds unattributed "500 000."  I'll keep looking but, 
until then, here's the fuller story:

Ah, not really... this website is only about downloading premade
libreoffice bundles (or learning the tech specs of the bundles). It is
not a (citeable) announcement of a mass deployment (with numbers and all
that).

Most of the ministries using this version a cited on this site which is
the one for official publication by the French government. You won't
find anything else in France. The European commission has however a
publication

LibreOffice, not OOo?
Well I'd need the exact sources to cite those... can you provide them?
(but then it might also be easier to add them directly yourself ;)


Check the french wikipedia site; the reference is there, and yes it's
LibreOffice.


Nope, it isn't there... there is no deployment section on
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice , no mention of France per se
nor the figure "500"... The closest I have is in the English version
where we already cite the Île-de-France region putting LO on a USB flash
drive to be given to students.

It would be nice if a couple of the marketing team members could make it 
their task to "watch over" the LibreOffice Wikipedia page and become 
familiar enough with the page. This will make sure that there is no 
unnecessary tampering of the page as well as making sure that pertinent 
information is added to the page to keep it fresh.


Is there anyone on the list who would like to take this on?
