NOTES FROM THE CALL
* Italo and Mike working on press release for LO 5.2: short general
information at the start, summarising the release; add at the end a
technical part, with links to background information
* We should talk about the new functions and features in Calc, bringing
LO closer to Excel
* UI changes: send a broad message that LO has a very flexible
interface, eg with the new single toolbar modes in Writer and Calc. Use
language that's closer to end users than UI experts
* Document classification: we are using a standard. Microsoft is using
another approach, RMS (Right Management System). Position LO in this
area as it becomes viable tool for large companies that are using
document classification
* Announcements: press briefings on Mon and Tues before release on Weds;
Italo and Mike to plan for those. Have a 5 - 8 slide presentation to
show in 15 minutes, followed by Q+A
* Also write personalised pitches to specific journalists, inviting them
to interview us or write articles
* Should include Asia in the process where possible - even if not for
5.2, start thinking about how to have a better relationship with Asian
journalists in future. Need to overcome language barrier
* Videos: English done, ideally will be localised for other languages.
