The Release Notes are starting to look very nice. It is worth reviewing if you have not looked recently:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes This is the primary statement of what is in the release. The introductory sections are general enough that this page can be used as a self-contained announcement message. It doesn't require additional context. However, we will have additional announcement statements. 1) There will be a press release. This repeats a subset of the contents of the release nots, but it the format and style that is expected in a press release. Don Harbison took the lead on drafting that. 2) We should also have a brief blog post. Maybe only a paragraph or two and then a link to the Release Notes. I don't want to spend too much time on the blog post since I am almost certain the blog will crash under load. For that reason I'd recommend that we don't promote the blog page via social media, etc., Promote the Release Notes instead. In the past we've translated the blog post. But in this case I'd recommend we focus on translating the Release Notes. 3) A brief announcement to our mailing lists, including the 9000 subscribers of our announcement mailing list. Again, linking back to the Release Notes. 4) Posts to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, etc. This is something where everyone can help spread the news, by sharing, +1'ing, RT'ing,. etc. Regards, -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: marketing-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: marketing-h...@openoffice.apache.org
