Hi :) Ok, as i keep saying it's fine to list BSD along with the other platforms without giving any further details nor instructions nor a section about BSD. Just including it in the lists is plenty.
Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: drew <d...@baseanswers.com> To: marketing@libreoffice.org Sent: Sat, 21 May, 2011 15:17:47 Subject: [libreoffice-marketing] Apples - Oranges, Chickens - Eggs, and BSD ( was: Updated (EN) tri-fold brochure ) On Sat, 2011-05-21 at 09:12 +0100, Tom Davies wrote: > In the same way i don't > expect the American Team, or any other project, to change everything > due to > someone's personal opinions especially if it has been discussed > before. > > Hi Tom, Long email follows (I assume, one pass) Apples - Oranges: A quick note on physical items: There is two pamphlets at the moment that got kind of mixed together in some of the other emails. There is the General Mktg piece that this thread dealt with. This piece is not tied to the disc project at all. There is a second tri-fold piece that is for use inside of the case on the project Tim, myself and others are working - you can see that here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/8/86/Na-dvd-insert.pdf Chickes - Eggs Well, certainly there are some BSD distro's that are already flying the LbreOffice colors - a google search pulled up DragonFly BSD[1] and PC-BSD[2] with LibreOffice available from the respective repositories and FreeBSD has since Feb IIRC. There is also, recently, chatter on the mailing list about BSD packaging. Sure also this list will grow, for instance I stopped by the web site for Illumos[3] this morning and packaging of LibreOffice is a line item in their list of desired (planned) work items. So Tom... back to an earlier question - how about some more help on wording a section, in a pamphlet, regarding the benefits of cross platform, by showing what other platforms support us. The General Tri-Fold brochure has lots of space, so I went ahead and tightened it up, added BSD to the list of platforms, now just need to have some good wording about these, third party supported ports - think about it Ubuntu, OpenSuse..etc are also third party supported ports, shallow forks if you will - there is a full 1/3 column of blank space here.. What shall we say? Seriously, that is how the others were put together, a few lines at a time or a few format changes...I bet we can fashion a piece, perhaps that is appropriate for someone that wants to promote LibO on BSD..want to try? (of course it may mean adding a wiki page or two also..) There is lots of empty space ready to be filled: http://lo-portal.us/temp/LibOPamphlet-BSD-may-19a.pdf //drew [1] http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2011-05/msg00089.html [2] http://my.opera.com/semin/blog/libreoffice-pbi-now-available [3] https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/wiki/Project_Ideas -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
