Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Drafting Conference 2012 Call for Locations
Dear All, I hope it's not too late jumping in this train :) We, or more precisely our company organized the OOoCon2010 which I hope was a place worth to be. Peter Szakal was the main organizer so if you have any question please don't hesitate contact him. He is very engaged recently but I'm sure he is happy to discuss any conference related issue, so do I.

Quoting from http://conference.libreoffice.org/pr/: The location for the LibreOffice Conference in 2012 will be decided by the Community in an open Call for Locations process, details about which will be announced soon. Anyone wants to start a draft? We should also discuss this during tomorrow's marketing conference call, so I'll add it to the agenda. We should embed some information in this, the latest CfLs for the OOoCon that John and I drafted might be helfpul. We tried to make clear this is a community event, where some active community on the location is needed, and what is required on infrastructure, how much work it means etc. - and we should do so for the LibreOffice conference as well. This definitely helps to avoid proposals like we received a few years ago, where some commercial event organizers wanted to host the conference, without any connection to the community, or where someone wanted to do this on his own as one-man-show.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Who has issues dialling in?
Hi FLorian but do you intend to keep using Skype even after the Microsoft purchase? *Helmar Fernandes *= Ubuntu user #33596 Maverick Meerkat 10.10 www.penguim.net/pocosdecaldas On 16 May 2011 13:51, Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.orgwrote: Hello, I received feedback that dialing in to our conference calls is a problem from some countries, either as the number is busy all of the time, or as there is no direct dial-in. As noted previously, the Skype gateway has limitations. We're currently investigating in improving it, but we cannot promise anything right now. You know, proprietary software... ;-) What I would like to ask all of you is to send feedback if you have problems with dialing in, so we can evaluate the problematic numbers, or take care of getting local dial-in numbers. So far I know about issues with the UK and Slovenian numbers, and about a missing number in India.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Abbreviation for LibreOffice?
Hi, Joe Collura wrote on 2011-05-09 18.02: 0) i think 'LibO' abbreviation is confusing to me as it sounds like the name of a programming library. whenever i read 'LibO' i think library-O (truly my nerd bias) but in that respect maybe 'LibreO' is a less confusing abbreviation alternative? hm, just from a gut feeling, I'd say that LibreO might be a bit harder to pronounce than LibO. I'd avoid LO though, as it sounds like loo. :-) i understand the programmers/contributors feelings about oracle but still think that in the long run that IF the 'openoffice' trademark would be TURNED OVER to the document foundation that it should be put to use as it would reinforce the continuity of my entry/mid level users. it took me like 5y to get them to stop calling it 'ms word' for petes sake and identify the bird logo. I think that LibreOffice is a good brand already, with a good reputation. In terms of business, OpenOffice.org surely might be widely known, as it has been in existance for ten years already. However, in terms of community, LibreOffice is the much better brand, as it explains we're not open, but free (libre) now, and it marks the start of a new era. That's of course just my personal take, comments welcome. :) Florian -- Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org Steering Committee and Founding Member of The Document Foundation Tel: +49 8341 99660880 | Mobile: +49 151 14424108 Skype: floeff | Twitter/Identi.ca: @floeff -- 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

Hi, Helmar wrote on 2011-05-16 18.59: but do you intend to keep using Skype even after the Microsoft purchase? I never liked Skype. It's proprietary, and while it can get through most firewalls with basic features, calling behind firewalls can be a real pain. I had to open a dozen ports to make it work at all, and sometimes, the sound quality isn't what it should be. I am much in favor of using a real phone or SIP client, but I see there are countries where Skype is the only cheap solution.
