Hi David,

I had thought that this thread was going to go dead after my last
post, but I see that it wasn't*quite*  the case. But I'd like to see
whether investigating the organization of a logo/mascot competition
really has any uptake among the people reading this thread.


sorry for the confusion. On the train ride back home yesterday, I worked 
through about 150-200 unread e-mails. I just spotted the question 
whether you can use the wiki, and sure, you can do so. :-)


Later on I read Bernhard's reply and realized what the thing is about. 
IIRC, Bernhard suggested that at the moment, lots of things are going 
on, and Bernhard proposes we wait a bit with a contest, as there are no 
resources available.


I'll stick to Bernhards proposal, he is usually very well informed in 
the art and design area.


Sorry for the confusion I've caused - too many things are on my desk, so 
sometimes I miss the point. ;/

Res: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Mailing list des...@... for Design Team

2010-11-20 Thread Lucas Filho
Hello Community,

Would not it be better to create a forum where it will discuss marketing more 
broadly? Advantages:

01 - So we have the categories where we publish our doubts;
02 - These were then organized by topic;
03 - Any user can join a class and also of several other of his interest;
04 - We'll have more freedom to insert images, formatting the messages, videos, 
links and other resources;
05 - Issues like can be targeted to a specific;
06 - The discussions can be terminated if there is more interest;
07 - Greater control of users (statistics) and in the future greater control of 
spam (if any);
08 - Ability to stop following the discussion in the forum without having to 
leave the list;
09 - Marketing is marketing, like the subject who want to know everything - my 
opinion, then the board would give greater freedom for the knowledge.

If the intention of dividing the messages related to marketing is just to slow 
the flow of them, this prevents a user can view other related activities.

Please consider this possibility.

 There *were* actually some people who liked the competition idea. ;-)

There were actually several people opposed to a competition. They even
brought up arguments and past experience. Most of what has been brought
up in opposition hasn't been addressed by supporters at all.

What irks me is that you repeatedly say one thing and then proceed to
act differently.

You stated that you would drop the idea if presented with arguments
against it. It took a while, but then you stated you did, because of the
replies on the thread plus off-list discussions. Now you are back on it.
This behavior turns any discussion entirely pointless.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Logo/mascot competition

2010-11-20 Thread David Nelson
Hi Thorsten, :-)

I have understood that you don't favor the idea of a competition. I
did read your blog posts on the subject [1] [2].

There *are* people who disagree with you:

In open source we have traditionally ran such contests, so in reality
Thorsten is putting forward the controversial idea.. ;-) [3]

You do seem to be a little dogmatic on the subject:

We need to shout it loud and clear that spec work should not be
affiliated, is not related to, and will not be tolerated with the Open
Source / Free Software movement. [2]

But please stop shouting about it here, because people do have a
right to discuss ideas even if you don't agree with what they're
saying. Also, please don't introduce an emotive, personal element into
what is purely an intellectual debate. (In any case, this thread does
not commit TDF to any course of action.) If you don't want to read it,
feel free to hit the delete button. ;-)

Actually, IMHO, your own blog post points-up one very good reason for
at least giving consideration to *some* form of contest:

If you just let things happen in a collaborative project with
design/artwork needs, you will likely see a few people creating
proposals that mostly cover the same ground. They all will base there
work on their own assumptions regarding various aspects of the
project. [1]

I thoroughly agree with one of the statements you made:

A collaborative project should have a documented mission
statement/vision/set of goals. [1]

So, any process with some kind of competitive/comparative aspect to it
would need to be carefully designed and planned beforehand. There's
nothing wrong with creating a wiki page on the subject, to develop
further thinking about it.

But I do hope you read my previous posts as carefully as I read yours.
In which case you will understand *why* I posted in response to
Florian's invitation to go ahead and create a wiki page, and you will
*remember* that I actually suggested that it should be someone else
that makes the first move.

To quote a line from the movie K-PAX, To quote a line from Navarro,
my dear Doctor, you need to chill. ;-)

IMHO, your preceding couple of posts are OT. Please allow people a
little freedom of speech and of thought? Can we just leave this thread
open to people who might like to explore the original topic further?
It's a pity you're so anti the idea, because your expertise would
have been valuable in arriving at something well thought-out and
organized. :-(

To anyone who might reply that, Anyway, there is definitely not going
to be any kind of competition, I'd reply that a) it's a pity to make
definitive declarations about something before having examined a
mature and fully-formed proposal, and that b) it seems a little out of
place to make such authoritative statements as yet when so much about
the LibO project is still unclear and ambiguous.

I don't intend to reply to anything further that bears any kind of
resemblance to trolling, flaming, discourtesy or unfriendliness (it
might be relevant to read what the draft TDF statutes have to say
about such forms of behavior). I will be perfectly willing to take
part in discussion that is measured and courteous in its tone and
content. :-)

I hope you can understand my POV... :-)

Can we please reset, and resume the original subject?

can't be evaluated or challenged.

The information needed is not for data but merely to help in

mailouts during campaigns; would like to see a mind map area


* File formats: .png, tif, .jpg, raw, svg, all openoffice formats, MSO 
formats

I think that work in progress should not be on the web site but on the

be on the web site (colour palettes, design guidelines, FAQ sections).



Agreed


* File formats: .png, tif, .jpg, raw, svg, Photoshop formats, all

PDF is mandatory, together with all standard documents formats, while I
would avoid proprietary formats like PSD (PhotoShop).


Have you ever had an artwork contributor send a photoshop file for the 
team to look at? If so, the Drupal site Team Devs will test the site to 
make sure that there are no hiccups if this is ever done. The list is 
not to support any of the files formats but to allow the Drupal Team 
Devs the change to test to see if there would be any problems on the 
site if there was any kind of exchange.





* Workflows / Procedures: work in progress


The Work in progress will not appear on the website nor will the 
Drupal Web Devs put it on the wiki. This thread is only for our internal 
check list to make sure that we have covered as much as possible as far 
as organising this section of the site so that the transitions runs 
smoothly.




Again, work in progress should be on the wiki.

The web site cannot contain work in progress, as it should be the basic
source of information about TDF and LibreOffice, and people are usually
quoting from the web site without double checking. The presence of work
in progress on the web site is too risky, and I am totally against it.



Completely in agreement. I would also object to such information that 
would make the team look disorganised.


Thanks for the info. Just write in if you think that there are other 
aspects that we should check or if we should ready anything else for the 
Design site on the Drupal LibO website. Once we have organised the site 
we will ask for people to test it and for comments.

Hi Italo,

I fully agree with the sentiment, but disagree with your take on the
ability of the platform in question.

The wiki is a tool and one that only hides details from the general
public by obscurity (well, without a fair bit of re-configuration
anyway).

A CMS on the other hand allows the website to be constructed in such a
way that different content goes to different types of users - so a
non-registered user could easily be kept from seeing any work in
progress. while works in progress that need to be available to the
community members are so, and even then can be controlled as to who sees
what, and what they can do with it.

So of course the wiki is a tool that is going be used, but the process
of design, as is ongoing here, and then implementation via a CMS, such
as Drupal or Silverstripe for that matter, is precisely a mechanism for
delivery of a system that performs in the way you describe, IMO.

Thanks

Drew

I do not mind about the platform. I know that when the information is on 
the web site it is considered official, while the same information on a 
wiki is not official (I can ask the press to amend a statement taken 
from the wiki, but I cannot ask to amend a statement taken from the web 
site). I assume that information visible on the web site are officially 
approved documents, while you can easily write on a wiki page that this 
is work in progress, and should not be considered officially approved.


I do not mind what happens before the publication on the web site. I am 
not concerned of what happens behind the scenes, also because I am not a 
tech guy and most of the times I do not understand technology.

Right - and that is the key descriptor, publication.

Your speaking as if there is only one view of the web site, there is not
when under the control of a CMS system. There is a view that is
published, official in other words 

There can be completely different features of the site visible only to
those with valid credentials.

Unless you are really concerned with the idea that there would be a lack
of discipline in the site admin or user actions, such that some work
item ends up visible at the official view.

Also, there two sites TDF and LibO, isn't much of what you would be
concerned with, as far as this official communication channel makes most
sense at the TDF site?

In some previous emails I've tried to argue the LibO site be about users
and TDF about workers, but this is a good reason to rethink that opinion
it seems. Perhaps it is appropriate rather to think of the LibO domain
for the main work site, along with user support (distro, etc) and think
of the TDF site as more of an official communication organ.

Curious of your thoughts are on this.

Thanks

 Hi Ben and Drew:
 
 Neat! I had heard of these groups but have not as yet seen any where I live. 
 We are a university town with 2 universities and one community college. 
 Google even has a large building near the University of Waterloo (a Research 
 and Development Facility) and RIM (makers of the Blackberry) have their 
 corporate headquarters here in town as well as manufacturing plants.
 
 IMO, this is a great idea.
 
 This sounds more like it should have its own thread for proper discussion and 
 debate and it should also be included in with the: 
 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Ideas page.

Thanks for the reminder. :) I've added the Street Teams idea to the page here:

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [Design] Design team needs and Drupal site development

2010-11-20 Thread Michael Wheatland
I found it very hard to follow this conversation. Can we take a step back.
The marketing list should not be the place for discussing website
infrastructure.

Quote of Initial email
Needed:  Please feel free to add any individual team requirements for the
final Drupal based website. All requirements should be non-specific. ie.
Instead of a wiki to upload documents to try a web based document control
system. We care about detailed requirements here rather than proposed
solutions.

Thorsten's email reply was greatly detailed and something we can work off.
Again. If you have a requirement, such as 'Draft work being private' please
let us know about the requirements for a task, not the infrastructure that
drives it.
If anybody wishes to get more involved with the discussion about the
infrastructure, can I suggest subscribing to the website mailing list.
