A quick update on how we're doing with social networking.  This is an
important way for us to engage with the users and the broader
ecosystem.  We have a lot of enthusiastic fans who enjoy hearing about
our activities.

Comparing numbers from a month ago (May 28th) I see a 21% increase in
Facebook followers.   We're now over 7000 "likes" there.

https://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO

These are the real users of OpenOffice.  They are not the insider open
source fanatics, but just ordinarily users of every walk of life.
They like getting updates from us, especially graphical, fun updates.
They like sharing with their friends, so if we give them something
interesting they will help us promote it.

For example, this recent post was not profound, but was a little fun:


https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=545186758873539&set=a.428697917189091.98579.185963401462545&type=1

It received 213 likes and 46 shares.  5419 people saw that one post.

I should note that Raphael has been doing a great job here as well,
responding to questions and helping to keep the content "fresh".
Yes, the facebook fan page is cool. It is realy active, and sametimes we get
also realy good feedback. We groing a load in the past months. The only bad
part is, that we have mainly english speaking Fans. So maybe we should
sametimes write News in other Languages

The top languages and their counts, for our Facebook fans are:

English (US) 3,046
English (UK) 702
Spanish 468
Italian 328
German 275
Portuguese (Brazil) 267
Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) 170
Spanish (Spain) 165
French (France) 127
Indonesian 84

So it is certainly mostly English-speaking.  We could try putting in
some more translated posts or original content in other languages, but
that may confuse the English speaking users then.

Another approach is to have an AOO-German page, an AOO-Spanish page, etc.

If you look what others do, you can't see a load of multy lingual pages. The moast of Facebook pages are only in one language. International Companies have different pages for different languages. So probabily this would be the better choice.

Greetings Raphael
