I can't seem to see any mention of it on the marketing, design lists and only see one mention of it on the website list.

(By the way provided by one of the most active Design Team members) ;-) Yes and I mentioned that in (I think) each post referring to that design. But let's be fair - it has the official mime-icons placed in a semi-circle, the background used is gone, the logo is changed from official to community, all text, even as an en translation from the de, from the original is either gone, altered and repositioned, below each icon now text added that is not on the original - so yes it saved a few minutes. BTW these changes to DVD label took place via exchanges on the US marketing list. It has been made clear that the original svg file will be available for anyone that desires to use, the iso image being assembled contains en, es and fr binaries for all platforms, sdk for all platforms and source code. T he documents are only in English only docs (but that likely will change), templates came from the OxygenOfice template pack, minus the non-free templates and includes same for en, es and fr again. It includes additional extensions and ODF tools as presented to and discussed, albeit briefly so far on the US ML. There will be a few Base applications (from multiple persons) perhaps, but not put to the ML for comment yet. This iso image will be available for anyone that wants it for distribution when finished. - so calling it 'Drew's' disc is a bit of a stretch, IMO. On a personal note, and as I mentioned on the US list, I find it interesting that after posting to the international design list, no response, but it was discussed, briefly, on the German list. Anyway - I'm looking forward to your release of the libreoffic-box, the Pro-oooBox, I believe has always been a well run and useful community project and you guys continuing, as Christian said, the tradition is excellent.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was an associated group or members of the TDF/LibreOffice team. The website has the LibreOffice and TDF names on it. And is hosted at the same servers as the LibO and TDF pages. Do you think OOoDeV would have granted them these rights, if they would not be part of the project? Thanks for the rhetorical answer. And if so, are there considerations being made for all NL groups? Of course - but they want to provide a working infrastructure. It was easier for them to discuss their work items on the de-discuss list instead of talking English to each other on this list here. Are other NL groups participating? Not yet. Some members of the marketing team are working on DVD content(s)/design(s) and are looking at the design team for guidance. Are the german team also working with the design team as well? Of course. The design Drew chose for his SCALE DVD is based on their actual DVD design. (By the way provided by one of the most active Design Team members) ;-) I can't seem to see any mention of it on the marketing, design lists and only see one mention of it on the website list. If you don't remember: http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@libreoffice.org/msg01402.html You have been the one crossposting this topic here. Thanks. The month of November seems so far ago. Yes I did make a note of it. There has not been any mention of it on the marketing list since then. It would be nice to get some kind of progress report for the marketing team as some members have already discussed DVD design. This would help in keeping us appraised of the status of the design and promote community involvement. (I mentioned it here too: http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@libreoffice.org/msg01869.html) Florian already mentioned it on twitter, identi.ca and facebook, so you can be assured, that it is an officially supported LibO/TDF effort. Best regards Bernhard Thanks for info.

Hi Drew, * I've been much too short in my comment - thanks for clarification... Drew Jensen wrote: On Sat, 2011-02-05 at 22:06 +0100, Dr. Bernhard Dippold wrote: Of course.

My single point in this mail was: The LibO-Box is part of our community. I wanted to show that you are aware of this work - that's all. But let's be fair - it has the official mime-icons placed in a semi-circle, the background used is gone, the logo is changed from official to community, all text, even as an en translation from the de, from the original is either gone, altered and repositioned, below each icon now text added that is not on the original - so yes it saved a few minutes. That's what I meant by it's based on - it follows the same visual language. If you understood it as copied or wasn't able to create anything on his own I'm very sorry - it's exactly the opposite to what I meant! I want to get a common design for all community distributions - but at the moment I can't spend enough time on this task. [... interactive work on the US marketing mailing list ... ] - so calling it 'Drew's' disc is a bit of a stretch, IMO. Sorry - I didn't know. I can't follow the US marketing list too :-( On a personal note, and as I mentioned on the US list, I find it interesting that after posting to the international design list, no response, but it was discussed, briefly, on the German list. It is marked for reply (as about 30 other mails on the design list), but you're right - a short I like it - it fit's with the branding guideline would have been appropriate. I'll remember (hopefully) for the next time. The reason why to post it on the DE-list was a different one: People there still discussed different proposals for their DVD design. As I already mentioned, I want to create a consistent Branding Design for LibreOffice, so I hoped they would tend to the proposal similar to the US group's design. They did ;-) [...] Best regards And sorry again for any displeasure!
