Re: [libreoffice-marketing] making the confcalls more attracting

Those who did not attend, I would like to ask, on why. :-) Calls occur too often? Too rarely? Calls are too long? Too short? Boring content? Language barrier? Wrong time(zone)? Calls just don't fit our way of working? I'm not blaming anyone, I just would like to get information on why the participation rate is so low. If we end up with calls being useless, that's okay, but I would like to avoid planning and organizing such calls, when the interest is rather low. We might end up with solely using the mailing list, or IRC, or Skype - that's what I want to find out. So, I'd like to ask for your humble opinion on that. If you prefer, you can also reply offlist via private mail. Just came at a bad time for me with pressure of work. But I will try to participate more :-) -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.

Yes, I agree on a central tracking tool for marketing actions, which would make it easier to share best practices. And, of course, I agree on a more structured marketing organization, because we badly need to increase the visibility of the project. -- Italo Vignoli italo.vign...@gmail.com Mobile +39.348.5653829 VoIP: +39.02.320621813 Skype: italovignoli -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-marketing] fixed-time marketing calls
Hello, during the last call, we decided we want to try out fixed-time marketing calls. I.e., we have one poll, and in the future, every month, calls will be at the same weekday and time. I've set up a Doodle poll at http://www.doodle.com/pdsx39rueycptpeu and would welcome your feedback. Let us know which day of the week and time of the day is best for a marketing conference call, and then we will try to plan accordingly. This will remove the burden of having a poll every month, and might help in better planning. Looking forward to the results :-) 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...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

We can work out some action items for the project as we go along. People will also need the URL for the DVD LibreOfficeBox site.
