[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Additional Platforms - 3rd Party Support Pamphlet
Hi Drew Le 2011-05-24 11:26, drew a écrit : Hi, Alright, I really thought this was a subject worth a flyer (brochure) so took another pass and this time pushed it to the wiki, not close to done - NEED lots of feedback form everyone..I think it should make sense as to what the subject is.. I've added the text, mostly unchanged, from Italo's blog post on the timed release model - BTW. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibO-Pamphlet-platforms-support.pdf or for the ODF file... http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibO-Pamphlet-platforms-support.odt Thanks Drew Nice! Here are my comments: Maybe in p.1 panel 1 "Operating System Distributions - User Supported->To name but a few" we could add something like "Check your distribution packager for native availability of LibreOffice" or something like this. Or some statement that LibreOffice may be already available through user's distro packager. BTW ... I would probably move p.1 panel 2 to p.2 panel 2. Reason: p.2 panel 1 lists the modules, so, it would seem to make sense to then have the modules' description on the very next panel. p.1 panel 1 ... bottom. Is there anyway to fade the motif a little more? I find reading the text a little difficult to read. p.1 panel 1 ... the titles are off-set on the left-hand from the regular text but not the same on all of the pamphlet. I prefer the left-flush look rather than off-setting the titles. I think it looks more professional. Just my take. BTW ... I am not sure if I like the dark black outline around the letters in the titles. It looks like a try at 3-D but the effect is not working. I like the look of a softer line such as the LibreOffice tm on p.1 panel 3. p. 2 panel 2 ... small correction: "LibreOffice is thez" <-- remove the "z". Also the Libre in "LibreOffice" is larger than "office" p. 2 panel 2 ... I like the "LibreOffice uses a time based release schedule" ... maybe shorten up the title to "LibreOffice Time Based Release Schedule". I would also steer away from mentioning OOo. There is no need to do this anymore. OOo is no longer a consideration and most people will have had no idea that OOo was not on a time base release schedule. Better, if we could provide a windows software example being developed on a "time based release schedule" (I don't know if Firefox or Chrome fit this ... I think Firefox does) -- KDE and Gnome really don't mean anything to our Windows users which are the majority of our users. Thanks for doing this.

Hm, I do *not* think that the same-time translation of the original announcement is needed in general, because it means an extra step required for delivering security fix. But sooner translation can be desirable if, e.g., the message contains description of procedures which users have to perform to avoid the vulnerability, instead of the software upgrade. (Anyway this may be rather off-topic in this list.)

The only thing you need to do is register, then once you log in the left hand menu on the wiki has the option "upload file"..you could either upload the photoshop file, or export a jpg (or PDF or PNG) formatted for printing - 900px is nice for web, not so good for printing IMO. The wiki is set to accept files up to 30 Megs..so no "real" limiting factor in that regard. We could use a copy of the jpg file on the wiki for display and a link to the PS file, perhaps?
