That sounds good to me. Still need official art for the cover of the DVD.

Jens Habermann is working on DVD labels and covers.

Please have a look at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:JeHa

These designs are not yet decided to become official - they might be 
improved / finalized during the next weeks.


I'm sorry that I can't provide you official art now, but we're working 
hard to create LibO related mimetype icons and get them included in the 
official package before the last RC will become the final release...


So please bear with us...

As Drew needs the final DVDs in about two months, I'm quite sure that we 
will be able to create finalized covers and labels  until the end of 
January.


Please have a look at the des...@libreoffice.org list for details...

Best regards

Bernhard

My focus is to offer the DVD to anyone. BTW not a lot of people are aware of
LibO
in the US. So from a marketing POV it makes sence to promote it in every way

Just an fyi;

LibreOffice is released  under LGPL v3[1].  Section 4-d-0 indicates that 
distributors must follow the GPL v3 section 6 guidelines for making 
source code available[2].


How one makes the source code available is where it gets fuzzy for me.  
I am hoping someone on this list can put this in layman's language.  In 
short, though, whoever distributes (and however they choose to do so) 
carries with it non-negotiable responsibilities to give equivalent 
access to the source code.  And keep in mind this is version-specific.


Happily, v3 makes it easier to point to a source repository as opposed 
to actually maintaining one but, one should take care that the 
repository will be around for the requisite period of time.


hope this helps,

 That is all true.

 That's a valid point. But as far as I know, we don't have a policy on
 URLs that include the term libreoffice yet. Until we do, we cannot
 say that Dave is or is not following our policy!
 
 Once a fair policy is developed and agreed upon, I'm sure he and
 other project participants will be happy to follow it. Have you heard
 any discussion about this topic elsewhere that I may have missed?
 
 No indeed. So what I can say is that we have no trademark policy that
 is being formalized now; I would as a caution advise against using
 LibreOffice and the Document Foundation as trademarks for the moment.
 On the other hand I commit myself to discuss an upcoming and acceptable
 trademark policy asap and to speed up things.

We can take a look at the example of the Drupal community for one successful 
policy. The Drupal trademark cannot be used by for-profit companies or in 
their domains, but it is permitted for non-profits and in the domain names of 
non-profits. I think this has worked well for them, and could provide a good 
model for LibreOffice as well.

I am looking forward to this conversation and developing a good policy for the 
trademarks going forward. Thanks for your input so far.

It's a good idea, but this policy will require significant adaptations
to be useful for LibreOffice: for example, Drupal is not sold on DVDs,
and does not share code with similar projects bearing its name (to make
it clear: I can envisage someone wanting to build and distribute/sell
something called LibreOffice Professional Edition consisting of
LibreOffice + extras; this would be done in Drupal in a different way,
with installation profiles not containing the Drupal name).

The Drupal policy is very complex anyway: http://drupal.com/trademark
And moreover, handling requests is quite a burden for Dries Buytaert
(the trademark holder), at about 100/year (89 in 11 months):
http://buytaert.net/drupal-trademark-policy-update-after-11-months

So it's good to have a policy but you have to spend a lot of resources
either to create a suitable one (you can use Drupal's as a starting
point, but it really needs to be adapted and discussed) or to handle
requests.

Regards,
  Andrea.

I am hardly involved in the LibreOfficeBox project. So, I may not be
the right one to tell about it. However, here is what I beleive to
know about it:

It´s idea evolved from the PrOOoBox, a CD/DVD distribution project,
driven by members of the germanophone OOo subproject.

http://www.prooo-box.org/

There were CDs or DVDs or memory sticks, optionally packed in a nice
box and bundled with a brochure/manual.

Look: //www.ooodev.org/fanartikel.html

The disks contained the installers (for different or all platforms),
language packs, source code, lots of documentation, art work,
templates and so on. The discs have a website-like user interface.
You can see a mirror of this interface in the web:

http://live.prooo-box.org/de/

Have a look at the LibreOfficeBox Homepage
http://www.libreofficebox.org/ which pretty much represents the user
interface of the upcoming LibreOfficeBox DVDs.

You can download an early developer snapshot of the
LibreOfficeBox-ISO here:

2010-12-29 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)

Please can we try to be civil with each other.  Just because someone uses a 
system you don't approve of does not make them wrong.  OpenSource gives us 
choices and gives the opportunity to respect each others cultural and other 
differences.  I know it is a bit non-standard in the world out there!!

Dave is putting a LOT of work into preparing for the future.  I realise that 
some would rather wait until after the release before starting to prepare for 
it.  


Thanks to him if anyone gets an opportunity to launch an advertising campaign 
they don't have to spend ages developing it.  They can just reach for the final 
draft of the work he has done, or even his originals or if they do have time 
they might use his work as a starting point.  So, if anyone manages to get an 
article in their local paper about the forthcoming release of LibreOffice they 
can ask for one of the ads he created to be included on the same page.

We need people to get articles out there BEFORE release.  We need to be up and 
running from the moment the release arrives, or even before.  Starting to get 
things ready AFTER release would be like inviting people round to dinner and 
not 
going out to shop for the food until after they arrived.

From Dave's comments i would assume he is preparing for release, or else maybe 
stamping the betas with a note telling people they are betas.  I would not have 
assumed that he was deliberately doing something wrong.

So far i have had no troubles working out who said what in Dave's emails.  
Obviously he is going to get a lot of criticism because he is the most active 
person in here but until you reach the same level of activity as him it is 
unjust to criticise.  Please find a way to work with people rather than against 
them especially when they are doing great stuff.

Hi Dave,

 I am NOT selling the software just a professionally made DVD with
 a Windows and Macintosh binary. Probably OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

So what is on the DVD you are offering?

* LibreOffice has not been released yet.
* OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 has not been released yet

* Please don´t sell DVDs labeled LibreOffice when OpenOffice.org
is on it.
* Please don´t sell DVDs with beta state software without telling
that it is beta state software.

If you mean to support the project by distributing a professionally
made DVD on your website, which basically is a good thing, I would
like to see a professionally made website as well.

And please, for the sake of usability of this list for all readers,
please have a look at:

Thank you very much!

IMO that is just wrong, Dave has kept this list apprised at every
step he has taken, as he took it.


Indeed, Dave brought this up some time ago and a number of people
discussed it in a thread. My recollection is that I (and others)
strongly encouraged he do this. It was, and is, my understanding that
LibO has no official disc distributor and is happy to have
individuals provide the service within their local regions. The open
source nature of the software encourages this, and at the very
reasonable price point Dave chose, I don't see what could be a
problem here. More people will be able to get copies of LibreOffice,
which is good for the project and all of us involved!


That is all true.
But that does not mean that using an url as libreoffcedvd is 
automatically OK. Maybe we should have paid more attention discussing that?

Hi Tom,

 Please can we try to be civil with each other.  Just because someone uses a 
 system you don't approve of does not make them wrong.  OpenSource gives us 
 choices and gives the opportunity to respect each others cultural and other 
 differences.  I know it is a bit non-standard in the world out there!!

OpenSource does not mean to sell things that do not exist and by
this potentially bring harm to the reputation of the the concerned
OpenSource project.

From Dave's comments i would assume he is preparing for release, or else 
maybe 
 stamping the betas with a note telling people they are betas.  I would not 
 have 
 assumed that he was deliberately doing something wrong.

Dave removed the offer from the website. Until he removed it, he was
actually offering and taking orders for LibreOffice 3.3.0 on a DVD,
although this product does not exist yet. That´s what made me worry.

Since he removed his offer, there is no need for further discussion.

 So far i have had no troubles working out who said what in Dave's emails.  
 Obviously he is going to get a lot of criticism because he is the most active

This all is not meant to critisize someone for his level of
activity, but to prevent wrong behavior, of which nobody is immune.
The people who stepped in here, all show a very high level of
contribution to the project. However, intervening against failures
doesn´t need justification by high activity.

That's a valid point. But as far as I know, we don't have a policy on URLs that 
include the term libreoffice yet. Until we do, we cannot say that Dave is or

Once a fair policy is developed and agreed upon, I'm sure he and other project

Yes that is correct.
On the other hand, to me it looks a sort of common sense that you 
discuss with each other about the use of such domain names ..
(So more the bad that I didn't  took the trouble to listen to the small 
bells ringing in my head, some weeks ago. Sorry :-( )

As expressed above: it is obvious that such a policy will be in place. 
So anticipating and discussing ideas whenever they come up, is most 
logic IMO.

Hello,

This web site is not an official website endorsed by the Document
Foundation; and I believe your right to use for business the LibreOffice
trademark has not be granted to you.

Not only do I find a discussion about a private business to be quite
unappropriate on this list, but I would also like Dave Johnson to take down
this website immediately, at least not to use the LibreOffice name .

The Document Foundation may not have defined a clear trademark policy yet
but it would be wise to ask before hand.

Thank you,

Hello Charles,

IMO that is just wrong, Dave has kept this list apprised at every step
he has taken, as he took it.

Thanks
Drew

Hi Dave,

Am 28.12.2010 23:35, schrieb Dave Johnson:

 I am NOT selling the software just a professionally made DVD with
 a Windows and Macintosh binary. Probably OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

So what is on the DVD you are offering?

* LibreOffice has not been released yet.
* OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 has not been released yet

* Please don´t sell DVDs labeled LibreOffice when OpenOffice.org
is on it.
* Please don´t sell DVDs with beta state software without telling
that it is beta state software.

If you mean to support the project by distributing a professionally
made DVD on your website, which basically is a good thing, I would
like to see a professionally made website as well.

And please, for the sake of usability of this list for all readers,
please have a look at:

Thank you very much!

 Comments are welcome.

How can you sell LibreOffice on a DVD, when it has not been released
yet???

Comments are welcome. BTW a video advert will explain the benefits of LibO.
