[libreoffice-marketing] Changes in announcements of LibreOffice Betas and RC's
FYI, On the latest TDF blog post[1]: Today we are announcing the fifth beta release of LibreOffice 3.4. In a slight change of communication strategy for our releases, from now on we will use the “announce” mailing list only for announcements of final and stable versions. LibreOffice 3.4 Beta 5 is being announced on “projects”, “development” and “localization” mailing lists, in order to allow volunteers to perform the QA process. Also, the beta has been pre-announced on the community mailing lists for a first round of QA tests, to avoid the quality problems of the earlier 3.4 betas.

[libreoffice-marketing] photo of the temporary DVD, Case, and insert
For the North American Community DVD project: Linked below is a photo of the temporary DVD, Case, and insert. http://libreoffice-na.us/the-dvd-picture.jpg This shows the disc label using LightScribe media, the Case cover, and a temporary 2-sided How to use this disc insert. I made up four of these so I could hand them out on Monday. The insert has my contact info, so the people I give it out to will be able to contact me if they have any questions about the DVD. The actual case insert has not been finalized, yet, but it is being worked on. Right now it look like it could be 4-sided to get all the stuff that people want on it. Maybe we could make a small booklet instead of a brochure style, but it will need to cut down to the size that will fit in the case [4.90 x 7.35]. We shall see what it will be like when we get it done. If I have the color brochure/pamphlet printed professionally, it will cost about $1.20 each starting with 40 units. The DVD cover will cost about half as much. The BW double sided insert will cost about $0.50 each, since it needs to be cut down to the proper size for 7 inches tall. The cover has to be cut down as well to fit in the case sleeve. -- 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
[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Donation website - how to name it ?
Hi all, as neither the international nor any local marketing team seems to prefer any of my proposals, I'm going to request the website team to create the structure for the third proposal. It seems to be the most natural and easiest to remember approach for our users - and Christian's comment shows, that it fits better with Silverstripe's way of handling translations: Bernhard Dippold schrieb: [...] Now we should have a more generic URL for donations, and I propose http://donate.documentfoundation.org [...] If we try to ease the access to this page for localized users, a third possibility comes to my mind: http://translation for donate.documentfoundation.org e.g. German: http://spenden.documentfoundation.org French: http://donner.documentfoundation.org Spanish: http://donar.documentfoundation.org Italian: http://donare.documentfoundation.org This would be the shortest version without the necessity for sub-pages.

This looks like a good choice. Thank you for owning the issue.
