Fw: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Engaging Users?
I didn't get any feedback on the survey draft I've set here: http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/marketing so I thought I'd share it with a wider audience. You can get more context in the quoted mails and/or checking the thread Engaging Users on the marketing list. Scroll down the marketing pad for the survey. Thanks! - Message Transféré - Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:46:36 +0200 De: Charles-H. Schulz charles.sch...@documentfoundation.org À: marketing@global.libreoffice.org Sujet: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Engaging Users? Hello, Thank you everyone so far for your contributions to this thread. I suggest that we fork our discussion at this point. One branch will restart later on the website list and will be about the more practical outcomes of our discussion (presenting opportunities to get involved to users, roughly speaking) but one will continue here with that is presumably an important step in our work and how we think about the present challenge. More specifically we are going to focus on conducting a survey for the users. I took the liberty to draft one, with my methodology being a top down logic and trying to cover personal motivations, technical awareness and knowledge as well as users' perception. I kept it somewhat short in order to not flabbergast everyone, but your input is welcome (and you can do so directly on the pad!): http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/marketing (scroll down for the survey) Thanks, -- Charles-H.

[libreoffice-marketing] CeBIT
Hello, I'd like to bring your attention to next year's CeBIT in Hannover. CeBIT is amongst the longest and most important trade shows, at least in Europe, and we have been there ever since, mostly due to the laudable efforts of Jacqueline and Thomas. It takes place early March and lasts (IMHO) 5 days. Given the international recognition and audience of CeBIT, it definitely makes sense to represent TDF internationally here, should we attend, e.g. by having people join for one or two days from the various at least European countries we are active in, and be present with talks. Thomas Krumbein from FrODeV kindly checked prices and conditions, and is willing to organize CeBIT and staff the booth for the full week (but of course, more than just one person is needed, see above). The drawback of CeBIT is the high costs, ranging around 7-10k € for the booth and booth rental, for about 12 m². While there are surely options of having a smaller booth, those don't make much sense - I'd rather prefer to not exhibit there, or to solely send in talk proposals, than joining at a small booth nobody looks at. Last year, we paid about 4k € or so, but feedback was that by not having an individual booth, our recognition was rather low. How do people generally feel about attending CeBIT and the associated costs? Is this something we should look forward into planning, and start looking for sponsors to cover parts of the cost, or shall we go for a different approach? Thoughts welcome, Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Is this something we should look forward into planning, and start looking for sponsors to cover parts of the cost, or shall we go for a different approach? I think that if we indeed put the question of the costs next to whether we want to attend this event, then the real question is: what are we looking to achieve? If it's mere presence, then few people won't notice us like last year but that can still be helpful. Maybe we are looking to have a stronger investment this year because of the following (potential) reasons - we want to raise our brand awareness - we want to initiate new collaboration opportunities for the project - we want to attract the press - we have a special announcement to make or something specific to show Contrary to an actual business we don't have the question of meeting new and potential customers. But the question of the return on investment makes sense of course. So I'm not answering your question right away, just moving forward on it :-) Next we ought to see what specific tasks we should work on should we decide to go to the CeBit. best, -- Charles-H.

Like having you, Italo, me, and some other folks from Europe for one or two days, also with sending in talk proposals, makes a lot of sense. I might be biased, but to me, attending CeBIT is rather important to be seen - it still is the largest IT event at least in Europe, if not worldwide. However, finding some sponsors to lower the costs definitely is worth looking into...
