I am currently working on a blog post for DFD. 3) Use our social media accounts to promote DFD on the day. I've created a placeholder for a landing page that can be shared via Facebook/Twitter/Google+. This is based on the work Samer did for the download page. It has no content, and I probably introduced some bugs. But it is full of potential ! http://www.openoffice.org/social/dfd.html Anyone interested in helping? Again, time is running short if we want to do something for Document Freedom Day.

Re: Document Freedom Day 2013 -- March 27
On 1) Can I suggest we make the graphic change maybe 3-5 days before DFD. Make an earlier blog post letting people know its coming up. We should go viral before the day. I could create a small page about AOO and DFD and what it means to us. Much like the download page, we can assign the social platform meta-data image and text to the one we're promoting AOO with. We could then link it to the early and day-of blog posts. - - - - - PAGE META DATA [Image=AOO-DFD-Doodle.png] [Title=Apache OpenOffice celebrates DFD, learn more here.] [Text=AOO is committed to support ODF standards so that everyone can access their information independent of the tools and suites they use.

Even though the actual even is on a specific day we'll get more notice if we start a few days ahead of time. I could create a small page about AOO and DFD and what it means to us. Much like the download page, we can assign the social platform meta-data image and text to the one we're promoting AOO with. We could then link it to the early and day-of blog posts. So the idea would be that visitors could like or share that page to their social network? I like that idea. Anything that we can do to turn it into a two-way engagement/sharing will be more effective than simply broadcasting information in a single direction. For example, with IMLD, the actual blog post did not get much of a response, but a simple Facebook post asking the question How do you say 'free software' in your Mother Language? got 45 comments, 44 likes, and 2 shares. - - - - - PAGE META DATA [Image=AOO-DFD-Doodle.png] [Title=Apache OpenOffice celebrates DFD, learn more here.] [Text=AOO is committed to support ODF standards so that everyone can access their information independent of the tools and suites they use.
