Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice events on the wiki - cleaning up duplicated content?

The wiki can be a convenient way to keep track of information for an event, coordinate people at booths, etc. For example, here's the event page for SCALE conf: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2015/SCALE The wiki has some handy features that I'm not sure are available on the calendar yet: - Universal edit access (event volunteers, etc..) - Version control - Markup features Perhaps all events should start as an entry on the calendar with date, time, location, title, and a blurb. If we need to keep track of any additional information for an event -- e.g. for a hackfest or conference with volunteers -- we can create a wiki page for it, and link it with the event on the calendar. The top-level Events page on the wiki currently displays a handy overview of all the events for the year, broken down by region. If that table could be automatically generated from the calendar entries, that'd be really slick!

[libreoffice-marketing] Planning ahead: Software Freedom Day is right before the LibreOffice Annual Conference
Hi all, I'm sure you're all getting started on your plans for Document Freedom Day (DFD), as it's just a month away (I'll have more on that later), but I wanted to touch base briefly re Software Freedom Day (SFD). Software Freedom Day is Sep 19th, and our Annual Conference starts on Sep 23rd. For anyone travelling/preparing for the conference, these two events are so close together that it might make it difficult to do everything by yourself. If you can, I suggest talking with your colleagues in Free Software in your local area over the next few months (perhaps at the end of March, after DFD events are done?) and working with them to get stuff prepare ahead of time. In that fashion, you will hopefully be able to avoid a mad scramble come September. My method? I'm adding a reminder to my calendar for April 2nd. That way I can ignore SFD until then.

[libreoffice-marketing] Marketing ideas for SCALE in Los Angeles (and beyond)
Hi all! SCALE (the Southern California Linux Expo) is coming up in a week in Los Angeles, and if it's anything like last year, we're going to see a few thousand people come through the expo hall during Fri-Sun. Apart from OSCON, this is probably the biggest event that we attend on the West coast (and perhaps in the US overall), and I thought that all of you might have some good suggestions regarding marketing strategies. Of course, brainstorming new ideas is relevant for other upcoming conferences as well :-) Each of these topics is probably worthy of its own discussion thread, so I'm going to send out 4 emails. I hope your inboxes can take the load... :P Topics: * ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS * LIBREOFFICE FOR ANDROID * UPGRADING LIBREOFFICE/OPENOFFICE * DOCUMENT FREEDOM DAY --- ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS At SCALE I'm going to be collecting names and email addresses for everyone who's interested in - Contributing to LibreOffice in one of our teams - Participating in a Hackfest or LibreFest - Corporate sponsorship of events (e.g. hackfest) - Marketing/outreach of LibreOffice in their local community - Helping to represent LibreOffice at a future conference = Are there any other categories I should include on the sign-up sheet? As I've mentioned previously, I think that some kind of tool for helping to keep track of LibreOffice/TDF-associated people would be great (CiviCRM?). This structure would also be helpful for coordination with our local TDF chapters/partner organizations around the world. --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qu...@libreoffice.org -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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

Even if you don't live in LA, perhaps you have a FOSS-loving friend who does? If so, please forward them this letter and tell them to join our merry band of volunteers. SCALE is one of the largest Linux confs in the US, and is an amazing experience! --- But you'll want details, right? Well here you go: WHEN: The booth will be open: Fri, Feb 20, 2PM - 6PM Sat, Feb 21, 10AM - 6PM Sun, Feb 22, 10AM - 2PM (times approximate) SKILLS: Experience with LibreOffice and other FOSS products like GNU/Linux is a plus, but a helpful and positive attitude is much more important! In addition to talking about LibreOffice, we'll be showing-off our printed user manuals, demoing LibreOffice to interested users, juggling fire, and handing out stickers. Maybe one of those was a lie. We'd like people to volunteer for at least 4 hours during the event. PERKS: As a member of the booth team you'll get an Official LibreOffice T-shirt, a Full Conference Pass, and the glory of joining the elite ranks of our LibreOffice conference volunteers!

It also makes it possible to guess an event page -- for example OSCON in 2015 is going to be at Events/2015/OSCON. Hackfests are under their own Hackfest/, but could move under Events/year/ as long as the devs are supportive of the switch.

Speaking more generally than just this contest, having the Design Team give feedback or help to improve templates would be a great idea! ... We all come from different origins so we will all face the same issues and these can be adapted by users or by native lang projects to match their own standard. Let us not create difficulties.

Perhaps we can do more to make sure that work gets re-integrated back into the original version, or is made available as a derivative.

On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 9:47 AM, Charles-H. Schulz charles.sch...@documentfoundation.org wrote: 1. Public Marketing List ShutDown The marketing list carries little of our current workflow; in fact, most of it has gone to the RedMine issue tracker already. On top of this, the marketing list is not read by most of the people concerned by marketing activities, namely the native-lang projects worldwide. PR coordination happens on the private list and to a lesser extent on IRC for meetings. The marketing list, just like any list, requires administration work, i.e. moderation. There's a lot of spam arriving, usually in waves, and it requires the approval or refusal of incoming mails (spam, unsubscribed posters, etc.) How public is the marketing project in Redmine? Right now people can easily join or review what's going on in marketing by subscribing to or looking in the marketing archives. Would the same public nature carry-over into Redmine? anything else, such as discussions, would happen on the discuss list and for cross-project awareness on the project mailing list. So let's say someone want to discuss marketing strategies in schools. Would that go to the tdf-discuss list, or? 2. New Wiki I am personally not entirely sold on this one, but we are in a situation where the marketing wiki pages are quite numerous, yet completely chaotic, and often outdated. We can think about cleaning these wiki pages, but given their amount we may consider to start a fresh with a new wiki. I'm not suggesting that we open twenty new wiki pages on RedMine tomorrow, but that we use it for a month if we need it. One of the benefits of having a single wiki is the ability to easily cross-link between teams, etc. Plus we do have a ton of content up there, including event pages stretching back multiple years. If the Marketing pages on the TDF wiki are hopelessly unusable, we can always move them all under /Marketing-old/ and start from a blank slate, but I'd expect that some heavy editing might be more productive? ** Expected results: - increased efficiency - less maintenance (for us, not necessarily for the infra team ;-) ) - increased clarity in terms of resources, contacts, etc. Could you explain a bit more what you mean re: resources/contacts? - task-based workflow (partially achieved already) A big +1 to a task-based workflow. I've been experimenting with redmine a bit myself, and I think that it has some potential for anything that's specifically encapsulated as a TODO item. I'm a bit more cautious about using it in lieu of existing infra for other purposes.

[libreoffice-marketing] Join-the-community flier for conference swag bag?
Hi all, The Fossetcon organizers have graciously offered to include a LibreOffice flier in the swag bag for attendees. Do we have a recent 1-page flier inviting people to join the LibreOffice community? I think that something a bit less verbose than our current tri-fold design would work best for us. Because it's in a swag bag, something short and pithy that grabs their attention could work well. e.g. Interested in working to make LibreOffice better?

[libreoffice-marketing] OSCON: Conference wrap-up + big thanks to our volunteers!
Hi all, OSCON -- the O'Reilly Open Source Convention -- wraps up today in Portland, OR: http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014/public/content/home The expo hall closed yesterday, but there are still some sessions and other activities continuing at the Oregon Convention Center until this afternoon. In the expo hall the LibreOffice booth was flanked by our friends at the Software Freedom Conservancy on one side, and Wikimedia on the other: http://sfconservancy.org/ http://wikimediafoundation.org/ Italo and Simon Phipps were both present at OSCON, as were two amazing local LibreOffice booth volunteers, Robin Haberman and Scarlett Clark. Having a solid team turns booth duty from a drudge of long days into a much happier experience. Between the volunteers, Italo, and I, we talked to hundreds of visitors, gave out dozens of brochures, taught people about some new LibreOffice features, and even did a little bug triaging! I held a BoF on Tuesday regarding collaboration between FOSS projects and FOSS-friendly orgs, and got a number of different people from different aspects of FOSS and event planning to show up, including the ever-helpful Bill Wright of LinuxFest NW. We'll continue our discussion on the Community Leadership Forum, as well as planning BoF's at Fossetcon (Orlando, FL) and SeaGL (Seattle, WA): http://www.communityleadershipforum.com/t/collaboration-among-foss-projects-and-foss-friendly-orgs/347 http://fossetcon.org/ http://seagl.org/ This was the first conference where we had a projector at the booth, and it worked out really well. It was small, portable, easy to set up and tear down, and versatile in what it could display. I tried a few projection surfaces, but one of the best visual choices was a matte white shower curtain (grommets included). With such a large projected area, we could quickly display a new message on the back wall of our booth or demo some features of LibreOffice like Hybrid PDFs to a conference attendee. When the UK government announced on Tuesday that they were standardizing on ODF and PDF, we quickly typed up that information in LibreOffice Writer and had it displayed for all to see. Visitor after visitor to our booth would ask Is that true? or Wow! Is that the entire country?, giving us the perfect opportunity to engage with both existing and potential new users in a more personal, one-on-one fashion. I took this opportunity at OSCON to promote the possibility of holding a LibreOffice hackfest in Portland, OR next year, and to collect names and email addresses of individuals interested in participating. All told, we have about 30 people on the current list, with a handful of people connected with universities or programming labs who expressed a desire to invite multiple people from their group. tl;dr - OSCON was great, our volunteers are awesome, and we'll be back -- possibly with a hackfest -- next year!

I believe that brochures are not really important. People don't read them and throw them away. So we should not divert the little resources we have on them especially for corporate brochures as companies do not get convinved with them. Same goes for pens. All this is swag, not marketing per se but people think one amounts to the other. Now I am not saying pens are a bad idea: they are only a small detail. Thanks for the feedback! I agree that we shouldn't focus just on swag, but I think that physical items we can give away can be a very effective part of our overall approach to outreach and marketing. When we're talking at conferences or staffing a booth for LibreOffice, having some desirable items like pens and stickers available can encourage people to come talk to us, and can be a good way for us to have a ripple effect when we give someone who runs a LUG or someone who is a teacher a few stickers or a couple pamphlets. For example, when I was at LibrePlanet I gave out a lot of stickers to people who wanted to put them on their laptops -- many of whom proudly pasted them on immediately. Having the sticker on their laptop is good for us, but I think that the positive relationship that we created by giving them an I (heart) LibreOffice sticker is even more important to the overall success of the LibreOffice brand and visibility of the product to non-users. Regarding corporate people, I met a few company founders/leaders when I was at SCALE, and I desperately wanted to have something more than stickers and a generic brochure to give to them, especially when they expressed their admiration for us and our product. I now have business cards I can give them, but from just a financial perspective, I think that it would really be worth our while to have some strategy (whether that's a brochure or website or whatever) to help us gain them as sponsors. The slogan ought to remain the same one we have. Let's not blur the message. :-) Sorry, blurring what message? My second comment is this: we need videos to demknstrate LibreOffice and we need web materials such as buttons, banners for online use. We have a very little choice of them. I believe this would help a lot in the US and elsewhere. I am happy to help if the design team or anyone else woants to contribute. * Online videos, badges, etc... sound like a great project to me. We've listed a QA EasyHack to create a video 'Intro to QA'. * Regarding buttons/banners, I just made some web badges for the Document Liberation Project, and would love to see badges for TDF and LibreOffice as well Cheers, --R -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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

Some ideas for improvements: * Consider rack cards as well as tri-folds -- both can be effective in their own right. * A brochure with all of the team mailing address on the back, so one can circle the team, write the name of a good contact in that team, and hand it to some interested in joining the community * A brochure for corporate sponsors is REALLY important[5].

Speaking of which, we're going to have our first meeting sometime between April 9-14, so for any of you in the US/Canada, please indicate your preferences[1] here: http://framadate.org/wa4wgsj74a97e1i5 I try, but I am in a small farm community area and no longer can travel more than 10 miles from home [due to the pain involved]. I hope to revamp the NA-DVD project so it look better, and more like what the LO site has become, vs. what it looked like since the last time I changed my DVD looks/feel. I look forward to the new look on the NA-DVD site! Your help with US marketing is really appreciated. From where I'm sitting, small farming communities need LibreOffice and Free Software just as much as NYC, London, and Tokyo do. The fact that we have community members all over the place is something that projects like MS-Office and iWorks just can't match, which puts us in a really unique position for both marketing and for project involvement. So keep on truckin'!

Excellent question. The Statutes of the Foundation are legally binding and the rules to amend them are precise -and contained within the statutes. The bylaws were drafted first, served as a blueprint for the Statutes but were for a long time some sort of internal community rules for the LibreOffice project. They are still a very clear document describing the initial view of the Founding Fathers, if you'll excuse the US History - related pun. ...I believe we should point directly to the Statutes then, and perhaps, when we have the time (there's no urgency in that matter), see what can be rewritten or drop the topic entirely.

[libreoffice-marketing] Opt Out! Conference, Barcelona, June 4-5
Hi all, I met Mallory Knodel at LibrePlanet in Boston, and she sent me information about an un-celebration of Snowden's leaks that the APC is running in Barcelona at the beginning of June. If anyone is interested in organizing a session about LibreOffice/FOSS for the conference, or otherwise being involved, please contact Mallory at the address below. Perhaps we have some local individuals who would like to trumpet the benefits of LibreOffice to the attendees? :-) Cheers, --R -- Forwarded message -- From: Mallory Knodel mall...@apc.org Date: Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 11:54 AM Subject: Re: Hi from librePlanet! To: Robinson Tryon bishop.robin...@gmail.com Hey Robinson! It was so great to run into you at Libre Planet. I was not expecting to meet someone from LibreOffice or we would have reached out long ago, in fact. I'm attaching a bit more about the event. It's an anniversary un-celebration of Snowden's leaks. We're calling it Opt Out! because in addition to policy changes, we also think that civil society groups need to make hard decisions and take action, even if it's not easy. If LibreOffice wants to partner on the event, you could help us by: - Sending a participant to the event - Helping to get the word out about the event to your networks - Sitting on the programming committee - Organising a session - Helping us fundraise by including your partnership and endorsement on our letters of inquiry to donors. If you want to do all or some of those things, I can take your logo and put it on our outreach materials. Our first big public push is next week so this is good timing.

It's important to highlight it I think. I agree. Here's a quick update to the language of that page that (hopefully) addresses the points we've raised in this thread. (I wish that there were a way for me to submit a 'patch' or otherwise provide a diff against the current website so people could see the changes side-by-side) --- --- --- --- --- Who are we? LibreOffice is community-driven and developed software, and is a project of the not-for-profit organization, The Document Foundation. LibreOffice is developed by users who, just like you, believe in the principles of free software and in sharing their work with the world in non-restrictive ways. At the core of these principles are the [four essential freedoms](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and the tenets of The Document Foundation's [Next Decade Manifesto](https://www.documentfoundation.org/assets/tdf/pdf/tdf_manifesto.pdf). We believe that users should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software that we distribute. While we do offer no-cost downloads of the LibreOffice suite of programs, free software is first and foremost a matter of liberty, not price. We campaign for these freedoms because we believe that everyone deserves them. We seek to eliminate the digital divide and empower all as full citizens, support the preservation of mother tongues, and avoid proprietary software and format lock-in. We work to attain our goals by * providing unfettered access to our office productivity tools at no cost * encouraging the translation, documentation, and support of our software in one's own language * promoting and actively participating in the creation and development of open standards and free software via open and transparent peer-review processes Though the members of our community hail from many different backgrounds, we all value personal choice and transparency, which translates practically into wider compatibility, more utility, and no end-user lock-in to a single product. We believe that free software can provide better-quality, higher-reliability, increased-security, and greater-flexibility than proprietary alternatives. The community behind LibreOffice is the heart of the project, without which we would not have the resources to continue developing the software. The passion and drive that every individual brings to the community results in collaborative development that often exceeds our own expectations. With dozens of different essential roles in the project, we invite everyone to join us in our work and help us to make LibreOffice known and accessible to all. The Community Bylaws, developed by our own community members, guide the way we work and encourage new members to contribute in a way which benefits both the whole community as well as themselves.

[libreoffice-marketing] SCALE 12x .... and beyond
Hi all, SCALE 12x went very, very well. I met a number of enthusiastic supporters, handed out many pamphlets and stickers, and talked so much that I became a bit hoarse by Sunday. I've started to follow-up on a number of the contacts I made during the event, and I've pointed a number of people who were interested in becoming contributors towards the appropriate teams of LibreOffice. I also chatted with students from Cal Poly and a couple of other universities, and enquired about possible interest in hosting a hackfest or having some other type of LibreOffice/FOSS-related event on their campus. I got a chance to speak briefly with the OpenHatch folks, and think that their experience w/Open Source Comes to Campus could serve us well as we look to higher ed for new hackers and other contributors to TDF/LibreOffice: (https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/In_a_Box) I spent a bit of time thinking about our NA Conference Box, and thanks to financial support from David Eisenberg, added a few items to the current set of supplies, including - duct tape - sharpie - power strip/surge suppressor - scissors One person who stopped by was a reporter with LWN who is an organizer of the Texas Linux Fest and who was interested in us having a booth at the event this year. Texas Linux Fest will be June 13-14 in Austin: http://texaslinuxfest.org/ That's all I can think of off the top of my head. It was a great conference, and LibreOffice got a lot of praise from exhibitors, speakers, and other users. I wish some of you could have been there to hear the praise first-hand! Cheers, --R P.S. Many people loved the t-shirts, but wished that we had larger sizes (What I brought from FOSDEM was mostly ladies' sizes).

[libreoffice-marketing] Libre(Office)Planet
My calendar tells me that it's 1 month and 2 days until LibrePlanet, so I have 3 questions for us all: 1) Who will be there? - I'll be there - Italo sounded like a no? - Perhaps a contingent from the frosty North? 2) What shall we do at the conference? Having a number of us in attendance, all wearing LibreOffice apparel, would be really slick in and of itself. Other ideas: - Lightning talks - Passing out some swag - Anything else interesting/fun for us and for the attendees of LP2014 Conferences are a great time to recruit new volunteers. LibrePlanet is always filled with free software enthusiasts, plus a few students that got lost in whichever University is hosting the event (or were brought along by their friends). Recruiting those students and having them start out their free software experiences in LibreOffice would be great for us and for them. 3) Would people like to meet up outside the conference? If there's interest, I'd be happy to organize a brief excursion out to grab a bite to eat or a drink together.

One nice thing about doing it this way is that it can be also marketed with an emphasis on Purchase yourself a set and store them at your local library so all can enjoy emphasizing they are of course available to the person who donated them as well in the case of Public Libraries. My local LUG has its own lending library, but books would get a lot more use at the local public library. If everyone chipped in a few dollars we could probably purchase a set of docs.

[libreoffice-marketing] Upcoming Bugzilla Migration
Hi all, As some of you already know, QA is migrating the project's bugtracking activities to a separate instance of Bugzilla: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal All user accounts, data, etc... will be transfered-over, and we expect that our users won't notice a thing, aside from the name and url change. In preparation, I'm working on updating all of our internal docs and resources to point to the new domain 'bugs.libreoffice.org', and replace references to 'FDO' and 'Freedesktop.org Bugzilla' with more generic 'Bugzilla' or 'LibreOffice Bugzilla' references. The domain bugs.libreoffice.org has been pointed at bugs.freedesktop.org, allowing us to change references today and then have a transparent switch-over on the day of migration. It doesn't appear that there are any FDO links on the wiki, but there might be links elsewhere -- e.g. on some of our social media pages/profiles? Any assistance in tracking-down and updating these references would be greatly appreciated.

Le 2013-11-12 09:50, Charles-H. Schulz a écrit :
The Owncloud storage was opened based on a big and loud demand during
the Milano Marketing session on a simple file storage service. The wiki
was deemed a PITA, hence we ended up with OwnCloud.
So a little backstory:
When we did the site redesign (for 4.0, IIRC), I procured a number of
source images of all-in-one computers under a permissive license and
wanted to put those in some shared space online (for the
Design/Website teams). When I tried to upload those files to the wiki,
I encountered a couple of different issues including
- The wiki couldn't consistently handle files 5MB+
- Image preview/thumbnails were flakey for larger images
- I had to upload one file at a time
I did a bit of digging for a while and, encouraged by Florian, tested
out a few options and finally decided that ownCloud was a pretty
decent option for storing a bunch of files in a shared space online.
Based on my notes, Florian put ownCloud into service. The application
wasn't perfect, but it had a pretty simple interface and allowed us to
upload even big files (100-200MB was no problem), so it suited our
immediate needs quite well.
We'd done some preliminary testing in the month leading up to the
Milan conference, but hadn't used the system very heavily. By chance,
Charles mentioned that Marketing really, REALLY wanted a simple system
to store files, and we told him that we had just the thing...
This still seems to blur the lines of wiki and OwnCloud use. Are we still
using the wiki for marketing work? I viewed the LibreOffice OwnCloud as a
temporary file storage area where people would upload their work for the
mailing list members to view, BUT, the wiki would remain as our official
file repository tool. Or are we now changing this? If we are, this would
have a large impact on marketing, design and documentation. We store a lot
of docs on our wiki.
Good questions!
I largely see ownCloud as a general-purpose place to store stuff for
the project. This includes drafts and papers and images and videos,
big files related to particular bug reports, and basically anything
that we want to share with one another. I generally view the wiki in
the same way.
I know that there are a few things that are a bit more formal on the
wiki, like the Trademark and Branding guidelines:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Policies/TradeMark_Policy
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding
Those wiki pages are a couple of things that I think might more
appropriate live on a separate website or in a separate namespace to
help demarcate them as being Policy pages, rather than a part of the
anyone-can-edit wiki space.
BUT, the wiki would remain as our official
file repository tool.
So where would you suggest different families of files live?
I think we all see a difference between
computer_image_file_01_of_20.jpg and
finished-draft-of-whitepaper_rtryon.pdf. Thinking off the top of my
head, one option would be to put all of the source files and drafts of
papers/presentations on ownCloud, and then copy just the final
versions of files tosomewhere (I'm reticent to say the wiki).
I believe the way that Documentation handles things is to put all
drafts up into a common folder (ala ownCloud) and then final versions
get published in various places (including on the website and on the
wiki). Would it make sense for Marketing to push final versions of
documents up to
libreoffice.org/marketing/{whitepapers|presentations|(etc..)}/ ? That
could be our way of saying we consider these documents to be
polished, final versions.
Cheers,
