[libreoffice-marketing] LibOCon CfP topics

2012-06-10 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

I'm right now drafting the CfP for the LibreOffice Conference, which is 
to be sent out soon. I currently have the following topics on my agenda:


Open Document Format (ODF)
Interoperabilität
LibreOffice - Entwicklung und Zukunft
Community-Track
Best Practice und Migration

This is just a very quick draft, so I'd like to ask for your feedback 
and input. ;-)


It looks like we can host four tracks in parallel.

Thanks,
Florian

Hi Marc, I am updating quite regularly the following page:

Thanks!

I wonder, does the Scoop.it! account take a lot of management time to 
maintain?

Hi Italo,

You do a really fine job with the scoop service, not to mention helping
generate the content..

On your blog:
http://www.italovignoli.org/2012/06/tdf-infographics-may-2012/

the scoop TDF is embedded, looking at the actual TDF page at scoop I can
see how to share it on a per post basis with fb and g+ but not an option
to embed it in a player, such as your blog. I think it would be very
good if that embedded player could be made available for other
supporters sites, perhaps somewhere in the official web site(s) also.

Anyway - thought I'd ask.

Best,

//drew

[libreoffice-marketing] Content for the YouTube channel ( was: Is there a better YouTube video collection setup . . .)

Howdy,

That would be great, putting it on the agenda for the BOD meeting,
Charles. SPI could indeed work I would think, as the benefit which
requires the Tax number derived from the non-profit page status is the
ability to run our own ad piece on videos published from the account,
linking back to a donation site for the registered organization.

Personally, I would take the time to explore the possibility of having
Google accept the TDF German tax ID - certainly worth an email to
someone I think - but if not, then look at SPI. 

In and of itself however this doesn't really address the original
posters question though - which is how to make better use of the UTube
channel.

I haven't done anything much, really, with it - and by that I mean, I
haven't produced content, either directly or by actively seeking content
out.

So - - the account is there, it is there for the foundation's use and
control. Available to anyone that wants to make use of it, some can
offer to create content certainly, and I hope there is a person or two
out there interested in managing the site also, I have no problem
passing along the login credentials and setting the email account used
to register the account the forward account emails to your inbox.

Still though the real work is content creation?

Charles,

As I understand the situation, the main issue is that the criteria for a non 
profit page on YouTube include US non profit status, so someone from TDF will 
need to get in touch with someone at YouTube and find out if a German non 
profit will qualify.
