Hi All,
This mail is to inform you on marktering activities (and to do's) in The
Netherlands.
Note that the Dutch language project covers both The Netherlands and
Flanders. However not all materials can be used right away in both
countries.
A few lines about myself, to start with.
- At the beginning of 2004 I started a enterprise dedicated to support
OpenOffice.org and StarOffice. The name is Nou&Off: www.nouenoff.nl.
It's a tough job, to get business running, but progress is there. Before
that, amoung others I worked as professional in supporting MsOffice and
developing in VBA.
- I joined in Berlin, together with Arthur Buijs, the Dutch co-lead (who
is on the MarCon list, togehter with Simon, our lead).
- It is clear that, because of both enthousiasm for the programm, the
project ánd commercial interest, I do invest some time in marketing
So what else is going on here reg. marketing:
- Halfway 2005, I was one of the people that took the initiative to
start BsOOo.nl, which stands for Business Support OpenOffice.org
Netherlands. See http://www.bsooo.nl/english.html BsOOo.nl started at
July 6th 2005.
- We (BsOOo.nl and others active in the Dutch project) translated the
page with features for 2.0 (http://nl.openoffice.org/nieuw-in-2.html)
and are working on the full 37 page document.
- Arthur and Simon took the initiative to organise a OOo Regicon, which
was held at November 23 last year.
http://nl.openoffice.org/regicon/regicon.html
- Press releasees reg. 2.0 and 2.01 had been send out.
On our to do-list:
- more martketing materials, obviously mostly translations from the
main-sources;
- a list with (reference) projects;
- informing our press contacts on a more regular base;
(see my recent note on this:
http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=22199 )
I think it is good to find as much paralells with the international
marketing project so that all can benefit.
Keep up the good work,
greetings,
--
