Hello!
BTW, this is a public list...
Hello,
We know. We thanked you personally because the link was really interesting.
In this respect, we made a simple OO thesis template, a video tutorial
on how to use it and we give once in a while a crash course on how to
customize the thesis template (see links below).
That's pretty good. Have you considered giving the template to our Docs
project? It houses templates, among other things, in all languages--or
at least links to those other languages. See http://
documentation.openoffice.org/ .
Yes, someone has asked for permission to publish it there. We welcome this
of course.
Regarding the Free Software Day and a presentation on OO, we can offer
a promotion channel to reach students at Stockholm university. In
particular:
1) advertising space to promote the Free Software day and OO lecture on
our announcement board (right in front of main SU library)
2) access to a well equipped lecture room at SU for a presentation/
lecture on a OO topic that is of interest to students from SU
3) participation in the ProFun games (with soccer) to promote "OO
Sweden"/Free Software day among sport loving students (e.g. team OO
Sweden wearing t-shirts with the logo of OO Sweden or the Free software
day >>> participants should be students from either KTH or SU because
the university pays for the hours at the sports facility)
(possibly, depending on the deadline) 4) announcement of the event in
Gaudeamus (the official student magazine delivered to the homes of
people)
The proposals above are the things that we can offer at any rate. If
you have other ideas how we can help, dont hesitate to come forward.
Well, we don't spend money on advertising. We do accept contributions
from the community to further the community's goals--and that could mean
your goals, too. I mean: if you want to donate the space and time and
energy, super: we will all benefit. Or did I misinterpret your message?
We dont expect money for this. If there is interest in giving a lecture at
SU (can also be about copyright laws, GPL/GNU v3), we can assist in
providing the room and make some promotion etc. We hope that there is some
co-operation (feedback and constructive critisism) regarding the template
and video tutorial we prepared. Before we translate the audio track of the
video tutorial, we would like to have some expert opinions on the content
of the video tutorial.
You should really consider then having this discussion on
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'm cc'ing Frank Peters, co-lead
of the project, to assist you.
thx for the info.

Well, getting back to promoting the use and development of OOo among
university students, I'm quite interested. Use is easily accomplished,
or at least making OOo in SV available, is. Development is more
complicated, and requires commitment and real interest. But it's a lot
more rewarding. I'd be happy to discuss with your team either angle. We
want to bring in students from around the world to help develop
OOo--including extensions, templates, core code.
Our efforts focus on the template and the production of multi-language
tutorials regarding its use. However, we believe the template is general
enough (basically for any paper requiring a table of content) as to be of
interest also to non students.
Coming back to the promotion, we believe the ProFun Games are en effective
way to promote OO/Sun in student circles and associate performance with
OO/Sun. In addition, participation of a Team OO/Sun in the PFG would also
do away with a common misbelief that OO is a hobby driven project. In
particular, we can offer to approach good soccer players (who use
OpenOffice) wearing looking T-shirts with the OO/Sun logo. The highlights
will be recorded and put on video platforms. If there is interest in this
respect, please let us know.
