Hi Alexandro, happy new year! So my first suggestion is to make a questionaire involving key questions that will answer this 7 O's and we can get a better reference to our targets on content and design. Do you want to modify the existing questionnaire that is being asked for when installing

Talking about surveys. Has anyone ever thought running a survey? Marketing is based on what surveys show, that's how marketing strategies are created. We could run a survey asking OOo users some basic questions like: age, gender, country, UI friendliness, deciding factor for OOo use, if switching

Hi Viktor, we have already a survey that is mentioned everytime users install OOo (on windows) which let them know about what is the most common used module etc. However this is rather scattered and not on a focus group manner which the main point is the 'focus'. We don't need that many

I see where you are coming from Alexandro. However, for surveys to be successful with low margin for errors we need a bigger sample. I studied sociology and psychology, and I learned that in any survey the sample (people used in a survey) has to be big. 10 users will not represent OOo community

Hi Viktor, where would I find the speeches Florian? Wiki? you can find them at http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/ - look for OOoCon 2006 and 2007. The title in 2006 was What Open Source Lovers want, but I don't remember the title for 2007. Just look for Erwin, and you got it. :-)

If we decide to go with this new sub-project, I can offer webspace and means to collect the survey responses, and track results. As this is a beginning of the new year, it would be a good idea to start now and collect data for 2008. I can write a survey and post it for review and approval. Then

Most people fall into categories as they follow the main stream. We can define these categories in a survey and if for some reason they do not fit into one of the categories, we can always ask them to specify. We can use LimeSurvey (opensource/free) program that I can install on my server. LS
