Re: OpenOffice User Survey (was Re: Help with marketing activity 2.0)

2013-02-05 Thread Alexandro Colorado 
OpenOffice used to have such surveys on their releases during the
installation process. I particuarly never saw this data create
anything. Maybe it was analyzed by Sun exclusively, but the marketing
project at the time, never really create much. I think a more open and
responsive and interactive system is the one that was generated during
the 4.0 brainstorm.

That said, are we looking for something specific at the moment. I
think most of the info from that ideastorm still need to set in place.
IMO.

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project and the marketing mailing list!

We discussed the survey idea a little in December and Graham Lauder, your
"neighbor" in New Zealand, sketched out some ideas on our wiki:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Survey+Design

I think Graham also had access to a server running LimeSurvey (
http://www.limesurvey.org/).  As a non-profit volunteer-run open source
project we don't have a budget to use commercial survey tools.

The idea was to survey our user base to get a better sense of their
demographics, as well as how they were using OpenOffice.

In the large, we know we've had 35 million downloads of OpenOffice 3.4.
And we know a rough breakdown by country and operating system.  We get that
info from the website analytic.  But we don't know whether the users are
predominately home users, academic, small corporations, large, whether they
use OpenOffice every day, or only once a month, etc.  I'm sure if we
wanted, we could collect many questions we might ask.  But then the danger
is the survey becomes to long, and few people complete it.  So we need to
find the "right size" for the survey as well.

We have a few ways of reaching out to users to encourage them to respond to
the survey.   One is to advertise it on our website (750K visits/day) and
via social media.  That would get many responses, but there is no guarantee
it would consist of only users.  Another way would be to send out to the
9000 users who are on our mailing list.  Another approach might be to
present the survey on the website right after a user downloads OpenOffice.
There may be other options as well.

So that's a quick brain dump on the prior discussions on this topic.  I'll
throw this out for any other comments others on the list have, and if you
have any questions.  It sounds like you have expertise in this area, so I'm
hoping your guidance can help keep us on target.

-Rob

Reproduce in what sense?  Do you mean print?  Or photocopy?  Is this a
concern about how fine details may be lost in mechanical reproduction?

Previous discussions got bogged down on this point.  Some said that we
should not base it on popularity, but on objective standards and an
expert evaluation of the logos.  Others said we should vote.  IMHO, we
want to aim for two things:  a logo that is objectively good, but also
one that is accepted by the community.  So personally I think some
form of voting is necessary, though maybe with an opportunity for
experts to weigh in and make their arguments.

Also, there are ranked voting schemes we can use that would avoid the
need for multiple rounds.  For example, single transferable voting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote

We started to put together a formal call for proposals last year:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Brand+Contest+RFP
but it lost steam.

One approach that I suggested as to keep it in two phases:

Phase I: Only a basic logo needs to be provided, bitmap or vector
format.  We then vote to determine the top 3 choices.

Phase II: The designers of the top 3 choices then refine their ideas
and provide a more complete logo package, which might require vector
source, splash screen, web logo, profile picture for Twitter, etc.  We
define a package of required variations that must be included.   We
then vote among the the three submissions.

With this approach we make it easier for anyone to enter.  They don't
need to commit to a lot of design variations up front.  They only do
the extra stuff if they are in the top 3.

Another point was what the winner(s) might get.  We don't have the
ability to offer cash prizes, unless a sponsor steps forward to offer
one.  But we could reward the winner(s) with some recognition, in a
press release, blog interview, podcast, or something similar.

Re: Structuring The New Logo Proposal

2013-02-05 Thread Samer Mansour 
I just talked to a few full time designers at IBM I ran into while at lunch
and showed them the proposals so far just as a "what do you think?"

Just saying this now, my design got slammed, after they told me tips and
feedback I was convinced it was bad, even though I thought very highly of
it 10 mins prior.  I think I want to pull it out at this point, but we'll
leave it up as what not to do...

I would recommend anyone here to reach out to designers they know and ask
them for feedback on the proposal pages, ideas they have.  The more
knowledge and feedback we collect the better we are going into this.

I can summarize their feedback and some helpful points.  We don't have to
do any changes we don't feel are right, but it could only help us to hear
this.

No particular order, I wrote down points, just writing them out detailed
now.

1. It has to be reproducible.
Chris R's is a great example, very simple logo.  Both logo's with feathers
would be a nightmare to reproduce.  Suggested not to be part of the logo,
but it can be part of a website design or splash screen, refresh/changes
with versions.

2. It does not need to be part of the icons. Bonus points if you can make
them related though.
Tips for icons
- Can't go solely on colours for distinguishing modules.
- Primary detail (Table, Sigma, Database, Text Lines, etc.) should be
fairly large and pronounced as the main idea being communicated to the user
visually in the icon.
- Secondary detail - (brand) smaller, eg. single small bird in corner to
tie it to the brand, again optional and remove for simplicity.
- Do not user language characters, as it does not internationalize well, ie
C for calc, M for math.  Criticism seen in Adobe products (they get away
with it).  Sigma is fine, as its internationally known.

3. Font
What's in is thin, sleek fonts.  ie. my font choice looks like I'm stuck in
the 90s, very techy looking.  Who are we appealing to?  End users, everyday
folk, they like sleek.

4.  Don't constrain ourselves to rounded square
- We seem to be trying to fit a predefined container.  Same with trying to
integrate the colours.  We're trying too hard.  Keep it simple and original.
Don't have the gulls hanging in mid air.  "Ground them" Michael's #8 where
the wings touch the circle is a good example of how to do that.  They are
part of it.

I'm going to go home and make a new proposal that will highlight this
feedback, soon hopefully.  Just to show the ideas in an example.  I will
quantify some of these as possible requirements so that we have something
to aim for.

Help with marketing activity 2.0

2013-02-05 Thread Paul Vella 
Hi all,

 

I was looking at your website in the help wanted section and came across
this: 

 

2.0: Help design, conduct and analyze a survey of OpenOffice users, so
we understand more fully who they are and what their needs and
priorities are.

 

I work in market research designing questionnaires, running analysis and
creating slides to present the data. Depending on the timing of your
needs and my work schedule, I'd be interested in hearing more about what
you need and how I might be able to help.

 

Cheers,

 

Paul Vella

we currently focus on April/May but no exact dates planned yet because
we have still many things to do. I expect a more detailed schedule later
this month.

I would say we should focus on end of February. Keep in mind that we
need final design work after we picked a proposal, need icons, app logo,
banner logo etc.

aligned with 2.

not sure if this is needed at all

good question, we can run of course several rounds but I wouldn't do too
many. But I am flexible

at least free and proper licensed font

I personally would keep the blue as our preferred color to demonstrate
continuity.

We should keep in mind that a logo that can be used for different
merchandising material has some advantages.

In general I would recommend to select one of the proposals until end of
February and target the final bits until end of March. Integration
should take not too long and we can test it afterwards in detail.

thanks for driving this forward. A new fresh design with keeping some of
the former elements or colors is a good move. We don't need a radical
new design, a refresh is perfect form my point of view.
