Just thought I would pop in with really a few questions relative to the strategic marketing plan. Like some others on the list, I've been going through it recently and trying to figure out where things stand with the project.
The first thing I would note, is I agree with some comments relative to a lack of details regarding implementation. Some good high level vision and it even moves down the chain a bit. I would also say making the connection between the higher level objectives and some of the lower level strategies is not the easiest. Anyway, a few questions about the strategies section from the end of the document: Item 1.16 - "improve packaging" to make it easier to migrate to OOo versus upgrade to MSO. Anyone know exactly what this means? Does this have to do with the installer - making sure it is easy to install on Windows? Or is there some other packaging this is referring to? Item 3.8 - Making OOo available in public libraries. Do we have any statistics on this project? Items 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 - all have to do with marketing to different target groups. Has there been any work to develop marketing materials for these specific targets? I found the brochure on the web site - are there others? Any instructions anywhere on what might best resonate with the different target groups? Item 4.16 - has anybody setup a database of speaker's or maintain a list? Item 4.22 - supplying statistics about users. I've seen comments both inquiring as to whether this is going on and some discussion that the data is perhaps being collected, but no is analyzing it. Is that correct? Finally, I know there has been some discussion regarding a specific marketing site ala spreadfirefox.com or what some others have done. I don't know whether I agree that needs to be done, but I do think the marketing.openoffice.org could be improved to provide more guidance to help those who want to "evangilize" for OOo.
