Printed copies of the LO 3.4 Writer Guide are now available from Lulu.com.
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/libreoffice-34-writer-guide/12861133

Wiki has been updated with the link.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

Website page has been updated and also reorganised  slightly reworded.
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

I'm posting an announcement to my accounts on Twitter, Google+, and
Facebook; others may wish to retweet or share.

LibDocs blog post coming soon. Remember our blog? It could use more
articles than just publication announcements (hint, hint).

No doubt I'll forget to do something. Please be gentle when you point
out my omissions and mistakes. ;-)

 Hi Jean, hi all in the documentation list (as I have just subscribed).
 What about announcing the availability of LibreOffice related books with
 a press release?

 This would probably help to increase downloads and help sales of the
 printed version.

 If you agree, we can plan the press release for the week of May 15, but
 in order to produce a suitable draft I need the right links to both the
 wiki and the Lulu website (I am very good at finding the wrong link, or
 very bad at finding the right one, if you prefer ;-)).

 Thanks, Italo


 Sounds good to me! I'll collect the info you want and send it to you
 later today. It should be there by morning in Europe.

Hi :)
Welcome in :)  I think a press release is a good idea.  The docs team are 
usually shy about that sort of thing but it might help to attract new lurkers 
to the team and maybe a few more  active members too.  
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-marketing] Facebook page instead of group?

2012-05-06 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

I'm doing a bit of a spring cleanup right now, and I think it makes 
sense to remove our Facebook group altogether, keeping only the page intact.


Nowadays, pages can also share pictures and events, and groups are more 
dedicated for a closed circle (i.e. even with an open group you have to 
approve each and every member).


I doubt we would miss a lot of functionality when simply dropping the 
group, but before doing so, wanted to ask about your opinion.


Feedback welcome!
Florian

I think that's an excellent idea, to remove the group and have only the page. 
That will also focus attention in one place, which I think is a good and useful 
thing.

Jean
The only thing you need to do is make sure the people who want to slam 
LO are kept away from adding their ideas to LO's Facebook 
environment.  I do not use the social media, so I do not know the ins 
and outs of them.  But I do know that currently in the USA you employer 
can force you to hand over all your social media account passwords or 
face being fired.  Some States and the Federal governments are trying to 
create laws against this, but it is an uphill battle.


So having LO groups approved members, can be helpful as well as not.  
Make sure you talk to your users before you make the changes.


Sometimes what looks good for some is not something the masses like.  
That is MSO does, they decide what their users want and not the users.

[libreoffice-marketing] Hybrid PDF Video

2012-05-06 Thread Simon Phipps
I made a how-to video about making hybrid PDFs. Pass it on, and use it any way 
that's good!

Cheers,

Awesome, Simon!

We'll put a link to it on the Docs section of the wiki, as the first
of what we hope will be a large collection of how-to videos by lots of
people. I hope it will nudge others into action.

Cheers, Jean
