Re: Two current articles
Hi everyone, I just wanted to suggest that negative points made in these articles can be turned around and made into good public relations by addressing these points as separate blog posts. Several positive blog posts linking back to OpenOffice would be easier to read than one article addressing too many topics. I also noticed comments on these articles describing what people like and that is a peek into features some future customers might desire. Maybe that needs to be implemented, or maybe not. Maybe a feature people like can be the platform to something no one has thought to develop yet. I really believe in open source freedom to dream big. I know that there are marketing volunteers and writing volunteers. At one time there was a usability/ui/ux start. Unlike coding jobs that can be done independently, what do you think about creating a way to work together on some of the marketing/writing/usability/web design jobs? I can think of one way to do this - but I bet you can think of better ways. One beginning idea is to devote one page to addressing the facts that need to be presented, the ideas that need to be surveyed, the features that are desirable, anything else that can be used by the marketing team and the writers to post in blogs. Focusing on the things that can be accomplished and the direction that needs to be broadcast. I know that having this focused information would help me develop the infographics I still would like to create for this project. I would also like to work on any html5/css3/seo/web design and usability project and brainstorm on any marketing ideas. But I don't know what is needed - what the priority is. Ever since I started following the development list, I have seen an increase in downloads for every version that is developed. I have also seen amazing support between the developers. Obviously Apache Open Office developers are doing a lot of things right! I think this is a creative, fun and positive group with a lot of passion for coding.

We always knew that other projects would take our code and won't give back, we always knew that there would be a dirty PR game against us, and to be honest, none of that ever stopped us from considering the idea of Apache OpenOffice as a TLP in the ASF and it didn't stop us from doing code that we like. That obviously hasn't stopped people from downloading the code either. To make this absolutely clear: the brand for Apache OpenOffice cannot be assigned to a non-ASF project, it will stay here and we are not merging with anyone else. Apache OpenOffice, under an Apache License, will live on as long as some one finds value in taking the code and use it for whatever purpose they want. This was what we wanted to do and this is what is still happening. The liberal licensing has already benefited other Apache Projects, and that alone was a great reason to have OpenOffice within the ASF. This said, there is a crisis, but crisis is actually an opportunity to change the way things are done. In a project where no one is getting paid to do anything, crisis doesn't really mean much of anything. Concerning the lack of Release Manager, I took the chance to check the Apache documentation about the role (it appears the httpd case is as authoritative as it gets): http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html The release is coordinated by a Release Manager (hereafter, abbreviated as RM). Since this job requires trust, coordination of the development community, and access to subversion, only committers to the project can be RM. However, there is no set RM, and more than one RM can be active at a time. Any committer may create a release candidate, provided that it is based on a releasable (non-vetoed) tag of our current subversion repository corresponding to the target version number. Personally I wouldn't have the time to spend on this, and I feel better writing small pieces of code (I am not as active as I used to but now we have a new state-of-the-art random number generator in Calc). I am pretty sure there are capable committers that have the same time availability issue. I would suggest that the PMC, as a team, takes over the Release Management role. Any committer (and the PMC is full of them) can do the tasks. IMHO, at this time only reason for making a release is signing the Windows binaries, so hopefully the task is not too big for the PMC.

Clark Howard hosts a nationally syndicated radio show advocating ways for consumers to save money and stick to budgets. A search on his website shows he has mentioned and favored OpenOffice in many other articles from the past several years adding GoogleDocs when cloud computing began. http://www.clarkhoward.com/news/clark-howard/technology/free-microsoft-office-app-ios-and-android/nh3Rd/ Nancy Nancy Web Design Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

In short: I was trying to place only the image and that didn't work, but wrapped in a div with a short text as per your latest proposals it will probably work better. Remember, there is also a 125x125 image at http://www.apache.org/ads/ApacheCon/ if this can help. In FF 31.0, the ApacheConEU in the bottom left corner is not showing up at all! So thanks for these images, or I wouldn't have known it was there at all despite Andrea mentioning it. (yes, I do see it in the actual code however.) Strange. Can some HTTP/HTTPS paranoid security measure get in the way? But feel definitely free to copy the image to the main site and server our local copy instead, in case this solves the problem. We normally use the Announcement banner -- the first blue line -- for announcements That will need some rework sooner or later too. That space would be for project announcements, while ApacheCon is a foundation-wide event that we must surely promote, but not an announcement (I mean, this banner is supposed to stay there until ApacheCon, 17-21 November; so it shouldn't take over our announcements line).

So I implemented the above solution, and you'll see it in the site footer. If anyone can do better, just improve it, no problem.

If we use a specific class for those headers we won't conflict with the h1's on other pages, which are styled differently. The only other error we have on the home page (and the other templated pages) is the lack of the language identifier, and it sounds like Dave had a good solution there.

Re: Looking forward to 250 million users
I want to throw out an idea that might bring in new users. The open source android market and dependence on mobile technology are quickly increasing in the number of users. Why not have a mobile version Open Office suite ready for all android devices? I can't help but think of all of the PC's that are bought with MS programs already installed - and the people that are less technically inclined never change browsers or programs - especially if it will cost money to upgrade. If a device is produced with OpenOffice already in place, especially if it is optimized for mobile users - I think that would certainly introduce this software to a growing audience. I am trying to think of ways that Open Office could be more mobile, and so far: 1. Voice to text could be utilized 2. Cloud storage for easier access between devices including mobile to PC 3. Slick interface that is easy to read, not a tiny version of the desktop format - but designed specifically for mobile usability I started researching what android office suites are being used and came across a 2013 article by PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2419589,00.asp The 5 best android office suites they mention do not look that great - except maybe polaris office (the first example on their slide show: http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0,3253,l=311949a=311948po=1,00.asp ) I also came across AlwaysOnPC that does use OpenOffice http://www.alwaysonpc.com/aboutOpenOffice.php The more I research, I see that all of the above are in place, just not all of them easily found without research and many in more than one 3rd party product not tied together - which most people will not do unless they are looking for a specific answer to a problem. Does this seem like a productive direction? I am still thinking about ways to help Open Office grow, and this was my first thought. Nancy Nancy Web Design Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

We should penetrate deeper into the Windows world, I have always the impression that we are too much in the pool of former users of OpenOffice.org. +1. Each time we upgrade, it's a new download but it doesn’t mean that there is a new user. Same when I upgrade my xubuntu distro: sometimes I don't download AOO again and sometime I download again the debs. I wouldn't focus too much on the counting methodology, which is imperfect. Think of the question as: How do we triple the number of users of AOO? On my blog last year [1] I discussed a model of market share based on three factors: 1) Customer awareness == what % of the target market knows about your product 2) Customer motivation == what % of people who have hard of your product have tried it 3) Customer satisfaction == what % of users who tried your product continue to use it. Market share is the product of these three factors. Some needs to hear of OpenOffice, try OpenOffice and continue using OpenOffice before they are really a user. In the blog post I discussed one approach to estimating these factors and came up with the following for OpenOffice: Awareness = 30.7% Motivation = 67.4% Satisfaction = 77.8% Given those figures I'd expect the greatest growth would come from increasing awareness. If fully 70% of internet users have not even heard of OpenOffice, then that is our biggest opportunity for growth. We could triple the number of users, if we tripled the number of users who are aware of it. Note: I bet the most savvy computer users are already aware of OpenOffice. We need to reach out to the masses who know very little about open source, people very unlike ourselves. That's what makes this challenging: marketing to people not like us., supporting them, writing documentation for them, and ultimately designing software for them.

Why not a portable version by language entirely preconfigured with templates and cliparts that could be distributed on customized USB keys by companies to their clients ? Everybody could have an office suite ready to use on his/her USB key, lipstick tube, pocket knife, etc. People could use their own free office suite on
