[libreoffice-marketing] Re-energising the LibreDrink discussion
A little tidbit of information I found: Drupal and Joomla, the two behemoth players in the open source CMS arena have just launched new and incredibly well updated products. Congratulations to the Drupal community for the launch of Drupal7 and the Joomla community for Joomla 1.6 they both represent a giant step forward in terms of usability, security and scalability. One item which stood out in terms of marketing was the Drupal Drops drink: http://atendesigngroup.com/blog/drupal-7-and-seven I know we have discussed this before, but I would be interested to hear any new ideas people have had.

I have also been considering the slogan. The concept that I was thinking of was to reflect the transition from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice into the slogan. At this point in time I might suggest: LibreOffice, the document evolution This would reflect the culture change that LibreOffice has come to represent. ...Later, as LibreOffice becomes mature and new features and interface is introduced: LibreOffice, the document revolution The implication of this is a 'new way' to create documents. I don't think LibreOffice is a revolution yet, but there are ideas out there, such as the citrus interface which would warrant such a statement.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [us-marketing] I'm back in the game.
Dave, After our chat I fully support what you are doing. LibreOffice does not have a trademark policy yet, hence it is not against the rules to use it, and you have not bypassed a system which gives authority to use the trademark because it does not exist yet. I second Ben. You are doing a great job and although there are some in the community who communicate aggressively I am sure the bulk of the community will support anyone with good intentions and motivation to get stuff done.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [Design] Design team needs and Drupal site development
OK, Sorry this has taken a little while, but I have been busy with paid work over the last week more than normal. I have created a workflow summary from the information gathered from this thread. In addition to this we can build a 'exhibition system' which would allow people outside of the design team to see examples of projects that the design team have completed, but that is the next step, we need to build the groundwork first. See the design workflow summary here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal/Design Can you please make any comments regarding the appropriateness of the workflow and project states. Any additional functionality of the Request-Develop-Feedback-Approve-Launch sequence and inputs and outputs to the system should be built now. I hope this satisfies all those designers out there who are hungry for a taste of what is to come. My questions: Should we also allow people to post unauthorised design resources (Only within the design group) as design ideas? Italo, I am sure we can do both with the Drupal site. It will be a great resource for initiates as well as very pleasing and functional to old hands. It can be hard at times to trust another group with something you are dependant on, but I assure you that the system will be very functional and easy to use for non-technical people.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Mailing list des...@... for Design Team
Yes. The Drupal website will be a fully integrated communication system. Forums talk to mailing list, News Server, XML RSS, we can integrate essentially any system you want. Extreme example: we can even send all of the messages to you via SMS if people want to pay for the service. Automatic Translations will occur on forums so when you visit a forum or sign up for a mailing list you will get all of the posts that everyone has posted in your native language, and can reply in your native language which will in turn be automatically translated for others. This will be an all singing, all dancing website. I suggest trying not to branch out to too many different systems in the mean time as this will just result in delays for the launch. I hope this helps clear things up.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [Design] Design team needs and Drupal site development
I found it very hard to follow this conversation. Can we take a step back. The marketing list should not be the place for discussing website infrastructure. Quote of Initial email Needed: Please feel free to add any individual team requirements for the final Drupal based website. All requirements should be non-specific. ie. Instead of a wiki to upload documents to try a web based document control system. We care about detailed requirements here rather than proposed solutions. Thorsten's email reply was greatly detailed and something we can work off. Again. If you have a requirement, such as 'Draft work being private' please let us know about the requirements for a task, not the infrastructure that drives it. If anybody wishes to get more involved with the discussion about the infrastructure, can I suggest subscribing to the website mailing list.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Ubuntu Artwork Team
Hello and welcome to the wonderful people at the Ubuntu art team. Firstly may I recognise the efforts that the whole Ubuntu community has performed so well as to propel linux to the forefront of stable, user friendly operating systems. I myself am a dedicated Ubuntu user, that being the reason I joined up with the LibreOffice community. Clearly there are very strong bonds between the communities which will assist both Ubuntu and LibreOffice become one of, if not the primary choice for desktop computers. One thing that springs to mind immediately is the use of icon sets and colour schemes in what has been OpenOffice.org and the way we could significantly improve both operating system and LibreOffice integration and consistancy by working together to ensure the LibreOffice interface reflects the modern, professional operating system that Ubuntu has become, largely due to the Ubuntu artwork team's efforts. I would be more than willing to contribute in any way I can with the inclusion, integration and cooperation between Ubuntu and LibreOffice. Could I suggest, being 'customers' of LibreOffice, the Ubuntu community should have a discussion regarding the 'ideal outcome' of this type of integration and the ways we could go about affecting this change. Again, Welcome and thanks for your support.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Templating Teams
Andrea, Is there a design specification, say on a wiki, of the OO.o template site ODF processing of template thumbnails? I am not well versed in command line ODF processing, but once we have it set up it should be reasonably easy to integrate with the system I have setup. On the licencing front, there is still debate in the steering committee as to whether an enforced licence within the community should take affect, so I will wait until this discussion has concluded before launching efforts on this front. My time on this will be divided, so it might take a few weeks to setup the thumbnail processing.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] [DESIGN] Do we need a separate mailing list for artwork/usability/branding...?
David, As a part of the website development team I thought I might share some info which relates directly to what you were saying. Further to the discussions during to the conference call, my POV concerning communications channels is that lists don't make a good information storage medium. People quote badly, people go OT, people rant, and ideas and info easily get lost in the noise. They *can* be good for brainstorming. But very soon after each important thread reaches a natural conclusion, someone needs to collate and summarize the results and then post them to the wiki. We found exactly the same thing within the website team that too many rants were getting in the way of progress on many topics. With the steering committee's decision to move to Drupal within 6 months, the team who are currently working on the implementation had to tackle these exact issues. We have come up with a way to satisfy all (most) of our community with forums which would also allow mailing list functionality for those who would actually still choose to use it. For those interested the official Drupal development site is located at: www.libreofficeaustralia.org (sorry about the localisation, but I plan an Aussie group setup after it goes live on libreoffice.org) P.S. Anyone with Drupal theme experience would be greatly appreciated. Until the Drupal site is setup this kind of functionality will not be 'officially' available, but in the meantime the website team has been chatting through the mailing list, tracking the ideas and progress on the wiki and turning great ideas into reality. See: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website (Google Wave is also great for brainstorming, in many ways, but takes some getting used to, and also demands posting discipline.) A 'Wave' is an open source federated communication protocol. In 'non-geeklish' we can install a wave server on our server and use either a web based client or desktop clients to access the server. This is a great idea. I will float the idea in the website mailing list and see what kind of response I get. -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Templating Teams
Andrea et al., I love your enthusiasm towards templating. As a professional end user of the software I find that more often than not I am either using or creating document and presentation templates that I use over and over in the course of a year or so. I believe that templates are an essential part of the branding and marketing of LibreOffice as a professional level product. Personally I would love to see some more graphically intensive presentation templates and highly professional document layouts being presented within the LibreOffice Brand within a few weeks of the official template website/repository launch. As a part of my Drupal website structure development this was envisaged as Marc has mentioned, sitting side by side with LibreOffice extensions and Themes (icons and interface colours at the moment). The importance of a unified community within LibreOffice will become more important over time as the requirements of extensions, themes and templating/layout design pushes the boundaries of what the product is currently able to achieve. In integrating the community in such a way it becomes very familiar to approach a different section of YOUR community rather than having to introduce yourself into another community or a functionally separated branch of the community. https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0Ad3nEslnhQO_ZGZzZjUzYmpfNzZjd3pycDc1eghl=enauthkey=CJ7D4fkE As you can see from the Drupal website design brief the structure will allow for the complex categorisation and searching of templates as is the case with the OOo repository. I would be interested to see if anyone has strong views for or against the website structure that I have proposed from a marketing or templating point of view and as you can see from the vibrance of the Drupal development wiki there is endless possibilities when it comes to implementing the Drupal website infrastructure. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org The Drupal development site before it launches as libreoffice.org in around 4-6 months. - it is not themed yet, but some of the structure is there.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Website online - question on main structure for art / branding / marketing
Stefan, My name is Michael Wheatland and I am working on the Drupal Website development team. In case you are unaware we are currently designing a fully integrated website for the LibreOffice community which will replace the existing site in around 3-6 months. On the aspect of project sub-domains and localised sub-domains, the question remains, if we functionally separate the community into individual groups we may not have as rich interaction as we would have with one, unified site which caters for all aspects of the community. There will of course be areas which deal exclusively with a working project team such as the artwork or marketing teams, however in integrating the community we will encourage participation across specialities which should enrich the community with both a wide range of views and new idea generation in many areas. A good example of this type of unity is the KDE community: http://www.kde.org/community There will also be geographical groups, however the Drupal Website Dev Team is currently working on the framework to eliminate the language barrier using a combination of manual and automated translation systems. In many cases you will be able to communicate directly with another member who you do not share any language with, yet still have the ability to discuss, conceptualise and develop ideas together without a third party involved. I would suggest that if you have views about what you want from the website I would suggest getting involved with the webs...@libreoffice.org mailing list or visiting the Drupal Website Development Wiki page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal We have already been consulting with the documentation team on workflows and their requirements, and we are about to start to develop the other project teams infrastructure. I am sure you will be hearing more of us very soon.
