Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Mascot-Logo for LibreOffice/TDF
I took the image and made the larger one with the text an 800 pixel wide image. http://libreoffice-na.us/mascoteLibOLF--edited-1a.png It is not as sharp as it should be, since I had to blow up the original one and smooth out the edges of the image. But it is large enough to see how it might look. If you find the original image file - Inkscape .svg would be nice - then it would be easier to make a larger image to use. .

But there is something about the character's smile that might be seen that way. I think maybe having some text saying that he is the mascot for LibreOffice would help it. Using something like Join me in using LibreOffice, the best free office suite around, LibreOffice is a suite deal, or LibreOffice, liberate your office suite from the big bad MS giant, under the mascot would get the message across about what he is the mascot for. Right now people would not know that Libo could be short for LibreOffice. I would not mind getting a larger version of this mascot and see about making a tee-shirt with an iron-on media. I would have to get an image that is at least 5 or 6 inches across [whatever it would be in millimeters or pixels. Maybe a full page Inkscape .svg document [letter or A4] would do as well. I would use Inkscape to create the document to print on the iron-on media. If it look good, I could see how much it would cost to have a few made up at an online company out of New York City that does this type of printing and does embroidery as well. Their minimum order is 4 pieces, so it would be easy to get then. Actually having a tee-shirt would be nice, but having it printed/embroidered on a polo-style shirt at the pocket area, maybe 2-3 inches across, would look more professional for shows and events. Larger is not always better, just easier to see from a greater distance. SO Lucas, would you mind sending me a larger copy of the mascot, but not the ones with the background colors. It would need to be off the list. Eitherwebmas...@krackedpress.com orwebmas...@libreoffice-na.us would be a good email address to sent it to. I really like to see what I can do with that mascot and some text to make an interesting shirt with it. . -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail tomarketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems?http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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 -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Helping out with the Document Freedom Day

It takes place every 31st of March all over the world. This year, planning will start soon, and it would be good to have a strong LibreOffice presence in terms of volunteers and actions. Feel free to engage on the website directly: http://documentfreedom.org or set up an ad-hoc team who will work on concrete actions for this celebration. Best, Charles. Hi, Thanks for the reminder. Other than handing over LibreOffice (in DVD or else) and flyers on that day, is there anything specific we could prepare with regards to LibreOffice ? In Quebec province we've recently put together a LibrePlanet group and this is among other activities we're promoting locally. See: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Quebec This group structure has the advantage of being inclusive of all Gnu/Linux distributions and other OSs as well, while pushing for broader tech freedom advocacy in other bubbles that are not always exposed to such information (including arts, agriculture, etc.). I encourage other local advocacy groups to check the LibrePlanet groups structure and start one if appropriate: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Form:Group Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez //http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:MagicFab -- -- Fabián Rodríguez -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Getting occurrences of OpenOffice.org changed to LibreOffice - suggestions ?
Hi :) I assume that they probably don't take much notice of individuals especially if the individual seems tooo keen on their product. After they have had differently worded requests from a large(ish) number of people they might start to look into it. It would be great to have a standard thing to copypaste (and perhaps modify a little) instead of risking being too much like Richard Stallman or too polite. Richard Stallman's approach does seem to get things done but it's good to give people a fair chance first.
