Nice, thanks!
At a first reading, I see only two things:

xxx = 100+

"companies that switch"

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] First steps guide for new Marketing Team contributors

2016-05-30 Thread Paolo Debortoli 
Hi everybody!  Paolo from Italy, i work in a high school and am in contact with 
LibreItalia and a number of IT professionals (both from the public and the 
private sector).   Italo Vignoli and LibreItalia are making a very good job 
here and gaining successes (like the project LibreDifesa for the Italian army). 
 LO (and other free softwares) is also used here in public schools and offices 
of my region, but we have still a ratio of 50%.  My aim is mainly to provide 
info material, brochures and so on,  especially to teachers and students.

[libreoffice-marketing] Idea: script for general purpose LibreOffice marketing video

2016-05-30 Thread Mike Saunders 

Hi everyone,

We have various videos talking about new features in LibreOffice 5.1, 
but I was also thinking about making a general purpose video explaining 
what the software is, what it does, how it's developed, why it's 
important and so forth. Here's a script I've put together -- any 
feedback would be welcome!



THIS IS LIBREOFFICE

LibreOffice is a fully-featured office suite including all the tools you 
need to get your work done quickly and efficiently.


Writer, the word processor, lets you create complex and attractive 
documents with its powerful styles system.


Calc is packed with professional features and built-in functions to help 
you manage spreadsheets with ease.


Impress is an outstanding tool for creating rich and effective 
presentations, to really get your message across.


Draw lets you produce anything from quick sketches and diagrams to 
complex plans and leaflets.


In addition, LibreOffice includes other valuable tools like Base, a 
database front-end, and Math for editing equations and formulas.


LibreOffice is built around the Open Document Format, a fully open and 
standardised file format that guarantees access to your data forever. 
But it can also open and save proprietary files from other office 
software.


And even with all these features, LibreOffice is completely free to use, 
share and modify. It's open source, so anyone can help to improve the 
suite and add new features.


And thousands of people have done so: LibreOffice is developed and 
supported by a worldwide community, and it's available in XXX languages, 
helping to bridge digital divides across the globe.


Tens of millions of people use LibreOffice every day, in homes, schools, 
workplaces and government departments. And for companies that want to 
switch to LibreOffice, commercial support and migration assistance is 
available.


So try it today: join us at www.libreoffice.org, download the latest 
version, and get productive with open source, open standards, and full 
control of your data.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/First_Steps

All feedback welcome! If people are happy with it, we can put it as 
the

first link on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing and spread
it around social media to (hopefully) bring more people in to the
Marketing project.



Thanks for doing this. Always nice to give some direction to 
new-comers.


The list looks good and not complicated. Nice!

Perhaps letting new comers know that helping out does not necessarily
mean a large contribution of time, and that any amount of
contribution, no matter how much or little time involved is most
welcomed. Many people think that you have to promise hours of time but
really, even if all it involves is about 5 minutes/day or 20 minutes
to help proof messages or fix wiki pages, then this is also welcomed.

One other aspect that I usually think really important is that people
should have fun contributing ... it is not a job, but volunteered
time. If it becomes a "chore" helping out and no fun, then they could
try another section with LibreOffice and see if they could contribute
elsewhere -- it is amazing how one's talents can be put to good use on
the project!

Cheers,

Marc
