Hello community,
First I want to thanks Louis and the rest of the the mailing list users
for agreeing on my proposal to become co-lead. And even if not much has
happened since then I have been hard at work on having an outlook that i
will present for Bizdev.
I would like to combine the efforts of the community and make it grow on
their target market. I think this is a real great and tangible
opportunities to grow on ways that the community expect and represent for
itself.
I had been interviewing with current and past members of the community and
I guess I had came up with a clearer view on which goals this project
originally had. I will list some of the goals that I also want to add and
get most of these information as accessible and prosper as the rest.
- Show the viability of OpenOffice.org as an open development platform for
new products.
- Show the popularity and advantages for third party development to OOo
- Push the needs of third parties into the mainstream project as well as a
better communication
- Develop process and systems to handle third parties requests and needs
- Make OpenOffice.org BizDev communication more secure and with higher
standards for conducting sensitive information protecting product
releases, and competitive information private.
- Make clear on the type of people we want to talk to and have more
specific campaigns to target them.
- Get this project localized in at least 3 languages.
- Design a partnership program and industry standards
For the past years we have seen a series of big development around the
globe and the Internet as well as companies working each other in this
mesh network of making businesses live inside other businesses (2nd life,
Facebook). We believe OpenOffice.org is a great product to provide
services and additional products that can survive of the popularity that
OOo is achieving and creating vehicles of making money through convenience
and advantage of the services.
I hope this email works as a kind of manifesto on what we are trying to
achieve here and I will gladly create our first wikipage on this route.
