[libreoffice-marketing] A report on LibreOffice India community Ideation meet up - Marketing event

2014-05-19 Thread chandrakant dhutadmal



A report on LibreOffice India Community Ideation Meet-Up

 Date of the meet: 16-MAY-2014
   
Time: 03.00 P.M.-05.00 P.M. IST.

Venue: Red Hat 
Office, Tower 10, Magarpatta City, Pune, India.


irc@freenode: libreoffice

   event 
hashtag: #libreofficeindia



Background

LibreOffice is one of the flagship products of a movement called 'FOSS'. It is 
one of the best office application suite which is available free of cost for 
most of the platforms and in many languages across the world. The application 
is useful for everyone from a student to a researcher and across various 
domains. Rajesh Ranjan and Chandrakant Dhutadmal were in a discussion for quite 
some time about the promotion and proliferation of this beautiful product and 
were not quite sure about the reach of this product in India. Hence, we had 
started a thread on marketing list of LibreOffice. After discussions with 
Charles-H. Schulz and Prof. Kannan from IIT Mumbai, we thought of having an 
Ideation meet up in India to discuss the current state of penetration of 
LibreOffice in India and how to increase the reach with the help of the 
Community.

Agenda of the meetup

1. Get to know each other
2. Introduction about LibreOffice marketing movement in India
3. Raise brand awareness on LibreOffice in India
4. How to attract volunteers to contribute to LibreOffice
5. Plan of Action


1. Get to know each other

Initially we thought the response to this event would be poor as it was planned 
on a short notice and also with small budget, but there were around 14 people 
face-to-face and one online who participated in the event. Thanks to Red Hat 
for hosting this event. We all got to know each other as well as the areas of 
interest where the participants could contribute. The members were from 
literally all aspects of LibreOffice community Viz. Development, Localization, 
Marketing, Testing and Documentation. Hence we can expect good contribution 
from these members in future. Participants of the events : Rajesh Ranjan, 
Chandrakant Dhutadmal, Keral Patel Anish Patil, Krishna Babu, Ankit Patel, 
Shankar Prasad, Shantha Kumar, Saibal, Shubhra Joshi, Sangeeta Kumari, Vishakha 
Dhutadmal, Ani Peter, and Manoj Giri. We discussed the agenda and background of 
the event through one small presetation [1].  

2. Introduction about LibreOffice marketing movement in India

By the time we met for the discussion, we knew that though LibreOffice is being 
used by many in India, the penetration level is too low. There are efforts done 
by individual organizations like C-DAC [2], RedHat [3] and IIT Mumbai [4] on 
individual basis, but there is no collaborative effort in this direction. C-DAC 
has been involved in training (face-to-face) various Govt. offices and 
educational institutions on how to use LibreOffice since quite some time now. 
Prof. Kannan and his team has also put good efforts in terms of creating large 
number of self-instructional audio video tutorials on LibreOffice, in English 
(about 60), and with audio dubbed into many Indian languages (a total of about 
500) [5], SELF workshops on LibreOffice and to a lesser extent on Linux, Tamil 
Nadu Govt switching over to BOSS[6] and  some more offices are switching to 
Fedora and other distributions which is good for LibreOffice. Prof. Kannan’s 
team is also trying to come up
 with print edition of LibreOffice Manuals (500 copies) to promote LibreOffice 
in colleges, who need a printed book for the software to be included in their 
curriculum. 

Having localized version of LibreOffice is important from promotion point of 
view. Currently, there are as many as 16 Indian languages where Localization 
teams exist[7].  Chandrakant Dhutadmal has already requested to create new 
teams for all those Indian languages that are currently not present.


3. Raise brand awareness on LibreOffice in India

Discussion amongst the members present on how to raise the brand awareness in 
India took place. Following are the point in nutshell which participants 
thought would be helpful.

*Introduction of Swags, T-Shirt, Sticker, Badges is very important.
*Conduct demo sessions in various colleges/ schools.
*Conduct LibreOffice development oriented Workshops.
*Using the social media extensively.
*Contacting SMEs/ Start-ups/ System Administrators 
*Try to add LibreOffice in school/college curriculum 
*Conducting various small events across the country.
*Help community members in participating in International events to interact 
with other contributors and learn more from them to replicate the model in 
India.
*Create Success stories and highlight them 
*Organizations like C-DAC are already using LibreOffice. Can we target more 
such large 

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] A report on LibreOffice India community Ideation meet up - Marketing event

2014-05-19 Thread Charles-H. Schulz

Chandrakant,

Waow, impressive news and events. May I suggest a follow-up from my side 
and a couple of ideas.


* set up of an Indian mailing list for marketing and advocacy (do you 
want it? Do you need one?)
* I need to get more familiar about the Ambassadors Programme from 
Fedora, and it needs to be adapted for LibreOffice (also, we need a bit 
of input from the board of directors): Action Item for Charles.
* Question: do you foresee the need at some point to set up a dedicated 
NGO for these operations or is one of your agencies carrying the 
administrative workload?


Please let me know, and thank you so much for this brilliant meeting. 
And thanks be given to Red Hat!


Best,

Charles.

Hi Charles, I think we should produce 5.000 stickers for Community
Leadership Summit and OSCON in Portland (I will attend both, and
Robinson will be there as well), the Boston event (Joel and Robinson)
for the launch of LO 4.3, and LinuxCon in Chicago (I will be there).
Spare ones can stay with Robinson and Joel for other events.

If you approve this, consider it already approved from my side using
Robinson latest quote.



Sounds good to me too. Just to be clear: we're talking about Document
Liberation stickers, as shown here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/DLP/Badges

Robinson, please go ahead - this will be a separate order from Cor as we
need to span several geographies and several events.

Best,

Charles.



Could the same be arranged for some LibreOffice stickers?

For all of the people who have looked at my LibreOffice North American
DVD Project DVDs and their .iso files, I have been a little late in
getting the latest versions done.  Soon they should be ready to upload
to the server.

I am currently using Linux Mint 16/MATE on my production desktop and
for some reason K3b is not doing its job proper.

Today, I figured out a sequence that works.

Copy the 4.2.3 DVD data folder to a flash drive

copy it onto my laptop with Ubuntu 14.04/MATE

use K3b to create a DVD disc, since that version creates an ISO file
that fails to burn, due to a fatal error on the last 1% of the process.

Use Windows to make an ISO file from the working data disc

[test the .iso file for burning]

THEN copy it back to the flash drive and place it back on my
production desktop.

At that point I can do the finishing work that needs to be done before
it is uploaded to the server.

So sometime in the next few days, I hope to get both the 4.2.3 and 4.1.6
NA-DVD .iso files uploaded to the server.

[now if only my health stays good for a few more days to complete the work]

Tim L.

Don't need them soon, but if we are going to distribute some Liberation

supply members with LibreOffice stickers at the same time.

Just a precision, I request the DLP ones for tomorrow because I still

Actually, 4.2.3 is online, and 4.2.4 is going to be uploaded in the next 
day or so.

Certainly... Do you need some soon?

Cheers,

Don't need them soon, but if we are going to distribute some Liberation
stickers to some of our members for distribution, we may as well also
supply members with LibreOffice stickers at the same time.


Just a precision, I request the DLP ones for tomorrow because I still
have LibreOffice ones, that's why I didn't ask for them. But of course,
I'll distribute both :)

Cheers
Sophie





I was suggesting distributing both DLP and LibreOffice stickers to North 
American members at OSCON (Postland) and LinuxCon (Chicago).


Cheers,

Yes indeed. I think we'll have to order another batch unless someone
(Robinson? Cor?) already has a batch of them remaining.


There are still thousands available.
Roughly
  Large I Love LibreOffice : 2600
  Large LibreOffice + TDF : 2500
  Small I Love LibreOffice : 1200
  Small LibreOffice + TDF : 1000

So happy to ship some if desired.



Is it more efficient to ship stickers or to get some printed in the US 
at the rate quoted by Robinson? He had quoted the following:

Hi Charles,

As promised, I've dug up quotes and put some of them here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US/Vendors#Stickers

The 1 x 4 are the closest sticker to the 29mm x 110 mm size that's
commonly available here in the US:
1000 - $253 (@ $0.25)
2500 - $306 (@ $0.12)
5000 - $395 (@ $0.079)

I think these are pretty good prices, as $395 US is approx. 286 Euros.

Best,
--R

If it costs a lot to ship EU-US, then it may be best to print a batch 
in the US and distribute/ship from here in NA. The DLP/LibreOffice 
stickers can be added to the US marketing kit and then given out to 
members at conferences.


Cheers,

Marc

I suppose there is no option to have two different headers for mobile

Hi,

I see you updated the twitter page. Ah. The problem, if it is one, is on
the mobile app. The avatar is right over the fellows head - I could redo
the crop and shift him to the right, or left, as to not have that happen.

 White boy...hmmm, well the shot is from the latest libo hackfest. Anyway I
 see your point.

 Otherwise, if you can use great.
 If you would need it tweaked I'll do so.
 If you want something totally different, no problem.

 Best wishes.

 Yet another white boy.  Surely there are women and non-white people using

  Surely we could copy some of the big companies and hire in actors,
 actresses and maybe even models to show off the kind of diversity we find
 every day in any of the lists or forums but seem unable to capture on film.


 It is a nice shot of the back of the chaps head.  Can't really see what

 Put a submission, from a photo found on same, to the google plus page:

 Note this is sized at 3000 x 1000 px, per a couple of best practices

If you want say 400-800 of each, shipment will be much cheaper.
Maybe 25-35 Euro.
If you want huge amounts, order on your own :)

Will leave that image as is then
Just finished a deep search for LibreOffice Hackfest and found some good
stuff from Europe, Brasil, India and Cambodia. Male y Female. Will do two
things;
Put together a collage image.
Get in touch with the individual rights holders asking for permission to
use. I think the only person I don't know personally is Allan Day at Red
Hat, but I suspect he will be amenable.

Will post up, after I hear back from these folks.
