[marketing-dev] Why TDF should be the place for one united Community
valid reasons? Let's leave out what happened in the past -- a lot of bad words have been said, but digging into that does not help. What compelling reasons are there to not work together again, in one Community? TDF is there, TDF is open, and to me, it would be the ideal home of a united Community. The decision about that requires no leader, but you, anyone of you, can make it on your own. Our future can be bright. Let's make it together.

[marketing-dev] Re: Why TDF should be the place for one united Community
Hi Louis, Louis Suarez-Potts wrote on 2011-05-25 14.33: Thanks, Florian for the long message :-) But, can I request that we have such advocations (not sure that's a word) presented in a more neutral space? My reasoning, besides the obvious, that this is OOo-land, has to do with simply having a suitable forum for what is likely to be a protracted and contentious discussion, and that sort of thing calls out for neutrality. I also tend to think that having focused and if possible in-person meetings is immensely helpful. as the topic was raised on this public mailing list, and as it concerns the OpenOffice.org Community, I thought it is indeed the right approach to reply publically to the discussion. The question I raised was not rhetorical. I don't want to say take TDF as is, but I am open to feedback and criticism. If there is anything that needs to be changed or improved, any criticism that is justified, I definitely will not ignore it, but rather try to work on it and improve things. However, I will also take position to criticism that from my point of view is simply not justified, and I think, that combination is a good basis for a discussion. So, again, my question to all of the OpenOffice.org community: Is there any particular reason on why working together, jointly, united, is not possible? Is there any justified reason on why working under the umbrella of a different foundation, or even setting up another foundation in parallel, makes sense? I am open to discussion on any channel -- and although I think that the OpenOffice.org mailing lists are indeed the right channel to discuss the future of the OpenOffice.org community, I am happy to discuss on any other channel. Needless to say, I prefer openness and transparency, whereever possible. Face to face meetings are of course an option, but it will exclude those who cannot participate, so why not initiate the discussion on the list here as I did?

Hi, Louis Suarez-Potts wrote on 2011-05-25 16.55: There are many good reasons to have any discussion as proposed by the TDF—Florian and Sophie—on a neutral ground. I've mentioned the compelling ones. And I also think we need to proceed very carefully here. Not only for community reasons but also because a lot is at stake beyond our narrow concerns. I still do not understand why a discussion on the future of the OpenOffice.org project should *not* belong on a mailing list of that project, at least as long as it concerns the community directly. That being said, if there's a wide interest to have it elsewhere, I surely will not object, as long as we can have as much open and transparent as possible.

[marketing] Wind of Change
Dear Community, Dear OpenOffice.org marketing contacts, Dear OpenOffice.org marketing project members, this e-mail is to inform you that I hereby, effective immediately, fully step back from all my roles and duties within the OpenOffice.org project, including those as marketing project lead and German marketing contact. I would like to take the chance to say a few very personal words to all of you. I had the honour to be a part of this project for six and a half years now -- serving as German marketing contact since March 2005, as marketing project co-lead since July 2007, and as marketing project lead since January 2010. Not only did I learn many things for life, have been part of exciting times (remembering moments like the long anticipated release of OpenOffice.org 2.0 back in October 2005), and had the privilege of being part in one of the largest open source projects worldwide. Even more, I also experienced wonderful teachers, brilliant colleagues, and -- most important and above all -- made true friends for life. It's not a secret if I say that this project has given me the busiest but also the most exciting moments in life so far, and I am proud and thankful for the time I had the honour to spend here. No matter where my future ways will lead me, my time in the project always will be a very important part of my life, something I look back to, being very proud and very thankful. We now have exciting times again. Many of you have seen the recent announcement of The Document Foundation and LibreOffice, a so very important step and major initiative that I am proud of being a part in, helping to shape the future of the Community, to bring not only our software, but also our project to the next level. I fully stand behind this step, and I envision a future even brighter than the past has been, a next decade even more successful than the previous one which passed by in, it feels, just a moment of time. I leave with no bad feelings at all, and I still feel being a part of this Community, not leaving you alone. It comes with great sadness to hear the concerns the step we've taken has led to for some people, that there is the fear of conflicts of interest, thinking about two different projects and products. I don't share these feelings at all, but even if I did, we, after all, have so many things in common - independent from any name, to me there is one joint vision, one joint goal, and there is one Community. Differences are in the way we want to achieve these goals, in how we would like to have the project governed - but all powers we invest to fight each other right now can much more wisely be spend with doing good and positive things, and so I want to move on. These last weeks have been extremely exciting, exhausting, busy and interesting. Many of us need time to relax, to think, and to understand what is happening, what is going on. My last wish being on duty in this project is an invitation to all of you for next year, to talk about where we stand, and what options we have. Even if right now it doesn't look likely, I am deep inside absolutely convinced that there will be chances and options of working together, united. Call me a dreamer, but remember my words next year. ;-) I hereby would like to hand over all of my duties in the marketing project to my colleague Peter Junge, whom I propose for the role as marketing project lead from now on. Talking of Peter, there are dozens of people who I personally would like to express my deepest thankfulness to. Counting and naming them would be an undoable task, as there are so many, and chances are that I forget someone - so, let me take this chance of thanking you for what we have achieved the past years. For what we have shaped, formed, created, for what we have enjoyed together, and for all those wonderful moments we spent together. I will not make a recommendation on which mailing lists you should subscribe to in the future, which project you should join. Instead, I would like to quote something I read on the German lists: Look at both, ask questions, be critical when it is necessary, and decide for yourself. In whatever way, I invite all of you for cooperation, and I am very sure that our paths will cross in the future. I am very much looking forward to that.

Re: [marketing] status of certification and training
Hi, also a short update from my side, to make handing over the tasks easier. There have been discussions with Mike and Paul from ALISON. They have been in touch since 2009, and Mike also had a talk in Orvieto. As you can imagine, in the current situation, I cannot work on the topic of OpenOffice.org certifications, so I just wanted to keep you in the loop and remind that there's a work item. If there is anyone who wants to work on the topic, Peter has a proposal by ALISON and has been in touch with them.

They have the required framework as well as lots of expertise in their area. Many of you know that I'm not only buried in work :-) but also that certification and training is not my area of working. I know Mike has been in contact with Alexandro, and probably Louis, and we all know that the certification issue has been idling around for a very long time. Can someone bring me up to date on what's happening in that area currently? Is there already a group working on it that likes to get in touch with ALISON? There is a group in the certification project that includes Alexandro, Evan, myself, Gabriel Gurley and Manfred Reiter. We have already put the unit assessment criteria on the project Wiki and we applied for an EU grant to support development. Unfortunately that was not successful but from the feedback it looks like we can fix that for next year. (We have been successful in two other similar applications in other areas) I have approval from the UK Sector Skills Council to develop a version of the ITQ national vocational qualification for IT Users to fit OOo - It will be called Award in IT User Skills (Openoffice.org) and be accredited in the UK National Qualifications framework. This framework is one of the first to be referenced to the European Qualifications framework so that employers throughout Europe will recognise its value. Once we do this in the UK, we will apply again for a transfer of innovation grant to transfer this to other EU partner countries and should be able to get a grant of around 300,000 Euros to pay for training, travel etc. In addition to the EU links, we have established contacts in Malaysia with a joint project with UPSI, the biggest teacher training university there. We have a pilot in Kenya, and established links in USA through the National Center for Open Source in Education, South Africa and India. Our target is to have the qualification fully accredited through the UK government regulators by January, then we can start training assessors and apply for a supporting transfer of innovation grant to support and accelerate that work next year. We need to agree with the community how to provide revenue to the project from accredited certification. In the UK, courses leading to accredited qualifications are funded those that are not aren't so it is important to be accredited. I'm sure that details on certification and training have to be determined -- I'm all for having things in community hands instead of at a single corporation -- but I guess that having some external support and input is highly welcome. I'm currently talking to a large UK exam board with a 200 million Euro turnover. If this works out they are an exempted charity focused on education so there will be no need to worry about single corporations. Let me know if you are involved or interested.

[marketing] Who can speak publically for OpenOffice.org
Hi, although being not on duty, at least at the moment, I feel responsible for sharing this discussion with you. I know that some of you are also involved with The Document Foundation and LibreOffice, or might be interested to do so. I don't want to start a discussion here, nor blame anyone - we all know these are not easy times. I also don't know if that discussion from the Council session affects MarCons - but anyways, I wanted to share this with you, should there be discussions regarding MarCons roles in the future. Basically, during the council meetings, there have been concerns that those having a strong relationship to TDF should not speak on behalf of OpenOffice.org. As stated, I'm sure things will turn out well for the future in one way or another, but to prevent surprises, I wanted to share this with you.

We will have blue flying discs, white about 13cm big gulls. As I mentioned before I need the gfx that we put onto the discs. One good piece of news we do not have to pay deposit. So that means we only pay upon arrival of the discs? Also is it possible to write out invoice for a company in the EU, and it is possible to pay in HUF or in Euros. For this I need the name of company, and other financial data such as EU VAT (or tax) number. Thank you for your attention. The budget authorizers for the marketing budget (Cor, Italo, Peter and me) have agreed on reserving 1.000 € for the flying discs, so anything up to that amount can be paid. I'm Cc'ing Matthias Hütsch, the treasurer, who can provide details on how to proceed.

Hi, Rosana Ardila wrote on 2010-07-28 18.39: I added a last proposal whit the dates 2000-2010 next to the URL (see the wiki [1]). I chose the blue one because white is an uncomplicated color and there isn't much time to loose. I talked to the provider today and even if we have a decision by Friday morning (CET) it isn't completely sure that the discs will arrive the 31rst in Budapest. So I don't want to force a decision, but if we want to have the discs for the Conference the decision should be made as soon as possible. There's still a small risk that the discs aren't on time in Budapest. I think that if we don't have a decision by tomorrow 12:00 CET, it might be better to drop the idea, or try to realize it for a different date than the conference. I wasn't able to find someone in Budapest who could produce the discs. sorry for stepping in so late, but my exams kept my quite busy, today I had an OOo interview and over the weekend I'll be in Stuttgart, doing an OOoDeV meeting - so I can't look into anything before Monday. Thanks to everyone for their contribution, and thanks to Rosana for driving this! If we can have flying discs for the conference, that would be great, and I guess Peter and I would be happy to authorize the budget. If, however, we are too short in time, we can't change things - our day has only 24 hours. :( Anyways, would be great if we could have the discs! ;) Florian -- Florian Effenberger flo...@openoffice.org OpenOffice.org Marketing Project Lead Tel: +49 8341 99660880 Fax: +49 8341 99660889 Mobile: +49 151 14424108 Skype: floeff | Twitter/Identi.ca: @floeff - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

[marketing] staying up to date during OOoCon
Hi, we just want to inform you on how to stay up to date during OOoCon. For short-term announcements, important notices, spontenous gatherings and other needs of communications, two platforms are available 1. the ooocon-discuss mailing list If you haven't done so already, you can do so by sending an empty e-mail to ooocon-discuss-subscr...@marketing.openoffice.org and following the instructions sent back to you. We strongly recommend any organizer, attendee and speaker to subscribe to the list, as it will be our primary source of communication and sending out individual e-mails to all participants during OOoCon will *not* be done. 2. identi.ca/StatusNet Last year's Twitter bot unfortunately is *not* available anymore, but instead, we've set up a group at identi.ca/StatusNet. If you dent yourself, use the tag !ooocon to add your notice to the group. You can have a look at recent postings by opening http://identi.ca/group/ooocon in your browser, and if you have your own account, you can also subscribe to it to receive messages automatically. Please note that you can *not* feed the group via Twitter, but need an identi.ca account for it.

Hi Liz, Elizabeth Matthis wrote on 2010-07-16 04.12: So I'll jump ahead here and respond to the point you make in your PS below about the name Frisbee. Since it is a trademarked name, we wouldn't want to get into trouble using Freedom Frisbee in writing, even if we call it that at the event and in private mails. I see that official sites selling merchandise stay away from the name Frisbee, instead using flyer or flying disc or just disc. I just checked a mini version of the item in question that is on the table here at my parents' house in the USA and it is labeled a mini flyer on the back. So my suggestion would be Freedom Flyer or Freedom Flyers. Not as obvious because the word flyer can mean many things (frequent flyer on an airplane, or a brochure, for example), but in context (i.e. you have just been handed one of the plastic discs) just as cute and memorable. Jens had a great idea yesterday. He said there are flying discs where you can actually put in a CD/DVD. That would fit. :-) Let's see what they cost...

The sooner we can move to open standards, the sooner we can make participation more open by offering a wider range of clients and platforms. For some of the proprietary systems, like Skype, I have to fire up OS X and would prefer to instead have the option of staying in one of the FOSS systems if that's what's on my screen at the moment. well, let's look into this after the summer vacation, probably. I'm still against SIP, because it has much more problems on the firewall side than a normal phone call, but if it's prefered by many of us, we can look into it, of course. However, be aware that e.g. people joining from companies need to use a regular phone as they cannot use outgoing SIP in many cases, so we need a solution that fits both.

Maybe when school starts the is a group that wants to take on setting up Asterisk for us. The problem is not the Asterisk server. Can do so in 10 minutes or so.

Hi Liz, Elizabeth Matthis wrote on 2010-07-12 13.43: +1 I like the frisbee idea. They are good for kids and adults alike. I also like that one size fits all. indeed - frisbees are unisize, unisex, and nobody complains about colors. ;-) The question I have is what kind of frisbee: fabric with wire in rim, plastic disc, plastic/rubber ring (flat like the ring of saturn)... I think the most impt thing is that they be light weight and compact size to transport. Then they are a big improvement over heavy t-shirts and any other give-aways marketing folks otherwise have to drag around or in Florian's case, carry on their backs. ;-) Hehe. :-) Well, I'm open up to anything, I didn't research yet. I guess it will also depend on the costs.

Hi Rosana, Rosana Ardila Biela wrote on 2010-07-06 11.49: I'd like to propose a way of celebrating the 10 years of OOo. We print frisbees with the OOo symbol and distribute them at the OOoCon. The frisbees are our Freedom Frisbees (Thanks Florian for the name :) ) and would be handed (or thrown) from one community member to another, in the same spirit of the free and open source software. I really love this idea! I don't know of any other community who has done so before, and Googling reveals that no one has used the term Freedom Frisbee before, so we might be the first ones for both. :-) Let me know your thoughts on this, I posted it to the wiki also. I'm definitely for it and think we have marketing budget for it. This idea, apart from the stamp proposal, is one of the ideas I really like to pursue for our 10 years anniversary.

And I would like to know what is the difficult barrier, if it's clear. We're working on the SMP, and we already have a rough timeline for it (a first brainstorming in Budapest). At the moment, however, Peter Junge is very busy with the OOoCon organizing, and I am very busy with learning for my exams, so neither of us finds time to work on the SMP. Give us a few weeks, so we can start with the topic hopefully soon. :-) I am conceiving the idea based on JA activity.

I unfortunately did not find the time yet, but I've added a reminder to the wiki for myself. ;) I didn't add the item to the wiki by now, because the thread here on the list was quite negative [1], while discussion on the phone conference was much more positive [2]. If this idea should work, we would need contacts in several countries as well as the approval by Sun/Oracle to use the new OOo logo for that purpose. I think we should try.

So we discussed some view points at recent confcall. thanks a lot for joining the confcalls! It's great to have you on board, and I hope I don't talk too fast :-) First of all, I illustrate three points. I feel these are important point. - It cooperates all over the world. Who will cooperate? Community Council, NLC, Projects, major contributor corporations, user corporations or organizations, ... I think the major stakeholder is the marketing project, but of course, support from all within the community is important. We then can include externals as needed. - It keeps regularly exposing media. What and How and When, expose media? Community, Product, Standards, UseCase, ... and PRWeb, Press Lecture by telecoference or F2F, Media Interview via online, Social media,... and Twice a week, a week, every two weeks,... Right. The more, the better, because we can reach people on various platforms. - It is based on the new SMP following start of next 3 or 5 years. Where is the new SMP special project wiki? :) I guess the 10 years celebration will be done earlier than the SMP is ready. :( Let's make a best way to reach best marketing target and pass.
