[libreoffice-marketing] Further increasing my contributions to the LibreOffice project
Hello everyone, TLDR; I'm now working around one day per week for Collabora as a part-timer. In more details, for those who may know, I have been present into this project since the very beginning days. The story started when I saw on NextInpact (called PCInpact at that time) an announcement mentioning that some motivated contributors, fed up of the situation of the dying OpenOffice project, decided to fork and create a new independent community called LibreOffice. Back at the time, I was a Microsoft Student Partner and decided to see how this LibreOffice fork was going in order to compare both worlds, so different. That's why I joined the very first LibreOffice conference in Paris in 2011, learned to know Sophie, JB Faure and Michael Meeks. I still remember the first day of the conference, where I asked Michael whether the seat next to him was free. He was coding gradient cell backgrounds in Calc and was stressed to bother him as he was coding. How impressed I was to be part of quite influential tech developers whose I saw interview in the media just a few days before, especially as I needed to express myself in a language I was only starting to learn at that time. The time passed and, as a volunteer, my position in LibreOffice has changed throughout the years. I reported some translations issues with French, contributed to some code fixes, tried to put in place a project called LibreOffice Weekly News. Now, I'm in charge of helping newbies on #libreoffice-fr (IRC Freenode), managing the @LibreOfficeFR community Twitter account (posting news, helping users, and forwarding issues/reports to the person in charge of, engaging with the community of +3600 followers with 15K tweets published in 1.5 years), answering questions on the Ask instance, translating article on the French blog, and promoting the use of FOSS and LibreOffice. I have been trying to be the buffer between the community requests and the persons guiding The Document Foundation. Satisfying both sides and all the partners of the LibreOffice ecosystem is not as easy as you may think. For example, in order not too loose a LibreOffice user, I had to redirect him/her to the mobile version being called Collabora Office on iOS and Android. When people asked me to get auto updates on Windows, I redirected to LibreOffice by CIB on the Microsoft Store. Explaining the differences between MS Office, repeating several times a day that you are likely to loose your files with Apache OpenOffice, promoting ODF etc. was my daily life for 2 years now, still during my free time. Trying to find the time to do it, every day, at least 2h a day, is even harder. In 2016, as I had my own company at that time, I get to know the Mattermost project, where I'm still involved as a contributor. I completed the French translation, crafted the msi installer for Windows, made a bunch of other fixes and maintaining the stack for some GNU/Linux distributions. I got more and more responsibilities there, still as a volunteer. At the second to last FOSDEM edition, I put Corey Hulen, the Mattermost CTO in contact with Michael Meeks in order for them to work together and bring the ability to read LibreOffice supported documents directly into Mattermost. This is was highly requested among people wanting to get away from GAFAM owned solutions. In 2018, I left my 6 persons company and decided to take back my studies to seek other more thrilling goals in the future. The COVID-19 situation that stroke us put me in difficulty as my student situation risked to be extended. Mattermost wasn't hiring students anymore as the situation was too risky and small jobs were out of question as well as everything was closed down. Cor Nouws recently approached me in order to provide some help in translating the Collabora Productivity website to French. Strong of my experience managing the LibreOfficeFR Twitter account, and understanding to know the French speaking market, I decided maybe this was the opportunity to leverage that experience and to contribute to this rich and circular LibreOffice ecosystem even further. This is why, on April 15th, I joined Collabora Productivity, the driving force behind LibreOffice in the cloud, in order to prove FOSS projects can be successful thanks to their partners. As a student, I'm only working around one day per week as a part-timer. Sorry for not having updated the community sooner, I only take the time to write it down now. Last week was a really busy one =) I'm deeply convinced that the success of an FOSS project is determined by the success of their certified professionals. That's the spirit I follow and will always be following for any of the FOSS project I participate in, LibreOffice included. Thanks for the help of people who helped me to grow over the past 9 years. I'm looking forwards for the 9 next ones. Have a nice week ahead, -- William Gathoye Hypertive volunteer for LibreOffice Proud member of The Document Foundation Member

[libreoffice-marketing] St Pauli + skeleton image on the blog
Hello everyone, The t-shirt of Leif-Jöran is showcasing a "St Pauli" + skeleton. While St Pauli is a football team in Germany, it is also an activist/political movement in that region. Also, the skeleton in this covid-19 period may be perceived as inappropriate by some people. While we are trying to be perceived less as a "geeky" community, the skeleton may also again put an emphasis on the "hacker" word.

Forgot to mention in the previous mail, when I got an original question not asked on Ask, I write it myself on Ask and answer to it in order to don't loose track of it. Nowadays, people wants an answer ASAP. Heiko tends to agree with me on this topic. Even if the answer has been answered multiple times, asking them to go on our Ask instance will lead to discouragement, and redirecting to Ask is the same work as copy-pasting a previous tweet :) It's not about finding an answer. The issue is the amount of questions. I already have a answer for *nearly all* cases on Twitter. After one year, I know exactly what to search for in previous tweets to do a copy paste, tweak it a bit and publish the answer :) If I was better at machine learning, most of the question could be answered by an AI :) > Today I've received around 20 call for help > on my phone, after a quick discussion on who we are, I've sent them to > Ask, otherwise, my answers would be lost.

I checked by myself by buying the app on the MS Store and installing it on a fresh Windows 10 Pro 1909 (November update) VM. I can confirm only English (South-Africa, UK, and USA) and German (Germany) are being installed. :/ > Yes, that's on purpose. We're currently offering _one_ version there, > and there's still quite a few users only able to run 32bit software. Any technical reason to this? I have reread the doc and it implies that the app can only contain one bitness as Target Processor Architecture. If we want 64 and 32bit support, we need to define 64-bit and bundle the 32 bit version in it as well. This is how I actually understood the concept with this sentence which may be a bit unclear though: `If the Target Processor Architecture for your app is x64 processor type, the app package must contain x64 binary or image type files. Note that in this case the package can also include x86 files, but the primary app experience should utilize the x64 binary` [1] I don't know whether specifying Target Processor Architecture to 64 bit is only limiting to 64 bit devices... *But*, unless I'm wrong, with the bunch of the users I helped via the LibreOfficeFR twitter account via TeamViewer, I never saw a Windows 10 S in a 32 bit variant. In my opinion, Windows 10 S has been built for 64 bit chips only IMHO, so supporting 32 bit *seems* irrelevant here. Unless we are supporting the MS Store from Windows 8.1? > Heh - that's the initial release date of the product - the version > currently available is 6.3.3.2; 6.3.4.2 is sadly stuck in the review > queue. Ok this is indeed a limitation of the MS Store. I can confirm this is indeed version 6.3.3.2 that is installed on my side. Unless I'm blind, the latest version available can only be seen *after the installation*. How stupid is that? ;( > With regard to general feedback - I wonder how the community would > feel about various options, e.g. directing users to askbot, or > bugzilla, or telegram?

Most if not all users I have advised have disabled the S Mode. Most of them are students whose apps they need are not on the Microsoft Store. Not all companies can afford providing a specific version for stores. This especially applies for technologies blacklisted from stores (e.g. Java, electron, etc. for the Mac App Store) and apps with anti-piracy features. Hopefully, TDF and TDC will fix this situation in the very near future.

FOSDEM meeting below. # New accomplishment I'm very pleased to announce that today LibreOfficeFR overtook LibreOfficeBR in terms of followers on Twitter: reaching nearly 3000 followers and 12 000 tweets published. LibreOfficeFR is now the first native language community on Twitter just behind @LibreOffice. :) I know they are just numbers and this is not a race, but this is a big accomplishment taking into account no Growth Hacking method have been employed to virtually increase this number. The French community has been working hard over the past few weeks and months. Trying to know and respect as much as possible the special way TDF was working, attracting new contributors (or people having interest in bringing help), trying to get old ones on board since the OO.o days (contacting them via convoluted PM on forum instances is hard), organizing hackfests, having a modern and welcoming visibility via our French Twitter account and blog instance, helping via our French mailing lists, etc. # Breaking eggs I'm conscious I gave *trouble* to some of you by adopting daring tweets, taking stance on multiple positions especially wrt. GAFAMs (even while MS was sponsoring COSM), maybe giving too much visibility to some LibreOffice certified professionals compared to others, and having a perspective different from what TDF has been used to have. I *apologize* for that and am truly sorry. Even if the Twitter experience has been incredibly positive (wrt. the bunch of gratitude we receive), of course, making omelettes without breaking eggs is impossible. You will always have unsatisfied people no matter what you do, but that number is really low, hopefully :) At least, we can now say we know what kind of public we have and can reach via LibreOfficeFR. After 12k tweets, most of the time, we can detect some questions are always the same as so could answer patterns. We have now answers nearly ready to use, if you know what to search for in TweetDeck in previous conversations. This could even potentially be automated by an AI :p # FOSDEM meeting Repetitive questions on Twitter is helping to showcase problems and rooms for improvement I would like to expose to you. These are not related to the software, but rather to the project structure. The solutions are not hard to implement, and I even propose to help in these. The solutions consist in just changes here and there that would help everyone, I'm sure[1]. :) This is why I was asking if at the FOSDEM hackfest, I can give[2] you a 25 minutes public presentation about this and *WHEN* during the 2 days?[3] Having as much person of the current board and board elected people would be nice to have (since the next board is taking office on Feb 12th after FOSDEM IIRC). # Who am I ? During that meeting, you will also get the opportunity to know me better, my failures (mostly my own) and occasional successes (made possible mostly thanks to other people's goodwill). Having read all the mails in all mailing lists for a bunch of years, I now have a clearer overview of the project as a whole, even if I know I always get new things to learn :)[4] When you will get the opportunity to know me in person rather than from what other people have reported about me, you will see it's not in my nature to try to be purposely mean to someone, even if the way I sometimes answer in writing may appear as clumsy/tactless or even arrogant/harsh. :/ Looking forwards to still be able to serve LibreOffice interests the way I used to be[5], having joint goals and shared ideals. :) Regards, [1] That's not arrogance, but just the eternal optimism I have :) [2] Unless you don't want me to and want me to leave. In that way, I'll commit to TDF's decision and quit completely the project meaning cancelling my membership and stop contributing. Being a dev/sys admin, I don't like UX stuff wrt. apps :( [3] Do we have a projector available ? [4] I'm not new at TDF/LibreOffice. Have been there since the very first days at the LibO Conf Paris and am active in other communities as well.

[libreoffice-marketing] Tips of the week for LibreOfficeFR Twitter account
Hello everyone, I remember having asked the questions back in the days (2016), but as the answer is now looking out of date, I'm asking it again. I would like to port on the @LibreOfficeFR, the idea of LibreOffice tips like what we have on the @LibreOffice account. Back in the days, the tips were available on our marketing pad. [1] I don't know whether they are still up to date. Also do we have the translations (in French) for them? Since tips are now included in LibreOffice itself, it would be great to take benefit of this without having to retranslate everything. Also what tool do you use to auto publish these tips on the English @LibreOffice twitter account? Thanks for you answers.

[libreoffice-marketing] LibreOfficeFR has reached a new milestone
Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that our LibreOfficeFR Twitter account has reached a new milestone: 2000 followers :) This has been quite a long journey since I took back that old account [1]. The start wasn't that easy and bad reactions towards us were quite common. Nowadays, things have changed and most of the people we answer to are launching with us rather than towards us :) Our design team can be thanked for this, because our new interface played an important role in this regard. I am proud to be part of this community and am delighted to contribute at my level to the rebirth of the French community. We want to grow higher than the old days of our previous project [2]. Feel free to retweet our announcement [3] :) Regards, [1] I'm curious to share the statistics we have with the "official" @LibreOffice account.

Super work Mike, indeed. Thanks a lot this will definitely help me when having to redirect users to LibreOffice when doing some marketing proselytism via our LibreOfficeFR account. Just a remark though. Would it be possible to do another set of pictures (even a smaller one) in order to showcase our new tab based interface? The latter is very much appreciated and when the end user is reticent to switch to LibreOffice (because too used to use MS Office or for other reasons), this new interface plays a key role in convincing them [1].

[libreoffice-marketing] Add notes about LibreOffice Vanilla on the TDF/LibreOffice website
Hello everyone, Since we have been the target of fraudsters trying to repackage/resell LibreOffice (for those who know these kind of issues have been reported to the board), we are receiving more and more questions wrt. LibreOffice Vanilla on the Mac App Store. Some people are asking if this is fake or not.[1] And this is normal and we are proud they are questioning themselves before downloading. This means our previous campaigns (tweets) have had some success [2]. While I obviously know the answer to such a question (otherwise I would be a bad at being a modest community manager for LibreOfficeFR), some users are reporting this piece of info is quite hard to find especially as for more internal details, no article has been officially published (AFAIK) on the TDF/LibreOffice website.

Hello everyone, On 04/30/2017 02:13 PM, Cor Nouws wrote: > Sure - it all depends on how the final mascot is designed. That may even > be more relevant than the creature we choose to start with. I have seen this topic a few weeks ago and kindly asked Nicolas, my coworker, who is a graphic designer specialized in advertising content working for Pixinko, to think to a mascot that could suit LibreOffice needs. He checked the whole thread to see the propositions you made. However, he thinks birds should be avoided as most of FOSS software have such a similar logo and important companies have mail applications whose logo are basically representing a bird. So he came up with the idea of "beaver" (castor) [1]. Here are a few advantages for this kind of animal that could match both LibreOffice vision and the way the LibreOffice community works towards this project. * Beavers are ingenious builders who can change the course of rivers. LibreOffice contributes towards changing mentality and provides an alternative to the go-to Microsoft's solution. "Changing the course of rivers" can also be an analogy to build up dreams. The Document Foundation marks a milestone with this project: the dream to have a complete independent foundation has come true on February 17th, 2012, an idea grown from the OOo old ages when Sun was still the parent/sponsoring company. * The beaver is a builder who has real power to change his environment, change the course of things and life. Quite related to the previous idea, but LibreOffice, more than ever, can make this happen. LOOL (CODE) has shown great progress. * Beavers are nibbling wood all day long. LibreOffice nibbles as well, but market shares. In September 2016, according to a survey from Collabora[2], LibreOffice reached 120 millions users, which isn't negligible. * The beaver is small but powerful. Compared to the work force big companies like Microsoft can put into practice, despite its size, the LibreOffice community hasn't to blush from the comparison. Look at the way TDF forced (in some way) Microsoft to offer the ability to install Office Web Apps on our own server, just because Nextcloud + LOOL was a quite powerful free alternative. * Despite its size, a beaver can modify its living space in depth within a few days. Look at the way the LibreOffice project can move things on rapidly. On the infrastructure size for example. You need more Tinderboxes VM for deeper tests? This is a task done in a few hours. * The beaver does not ask questions, he simply acts. LibreOffice is a meritocratic project. Don't wait for other to fix the issue for you, just solve it and everyone will benefit from it. This is the way community and paid developers are working for the project. * Patient work, but effective. This took some time to refactor the LibreOffice code, but we can say this task is mostly behind us now. We can now focus on more interesting stuff like the UI. * Trees are the base of paper. LibreOffice is a tool to craft our paper/letter to our needs, the same applies for beavers, he craft the tool to his/her needs. I remember you had a NextCloud instance somewhere for design related stuffs, but I can't find it any more. This is why I hosted the propositions to my Google Drive account [3]. Please note the possibilities are endless, the eyes from proposition 5 can be mixed with the pencil from proposition 4 for example. I'm waiting for your reviews. If you have any questions wrt. communication and advertising or need more explanation towards the choices regarding this animal, I'll let my coworker, Nicolas, answer as this is basically his job :) Looking forward to see a work designed by Pixinko used by such a big open source community :) NB.: Please put me in cc when replying as this email address is not subscribed to the mailing lists.

On 04/15/2015 03:54 PM, Charles-H. Schulz wrote: Meeeh. True enough. Then we have a problem. William, do you feel like putting up a small brochure in French? Using the Discover section of the website should do it. As Pierre Yves updated his version, do I still need to create a small brochure? Not to undervalue Pierre's work, but according to the advertisers and marketing specialists I have here in the company I'm working, a 3 folds brochure like this with so much text in it is likely not to be read. Except maybe by nerds, but end-users won't, if we have to distribute such brochures outside IT conferences. Also according to the feedback they have, I wonder if a brochure is the best format. Maybe flyers would fit better and would be cheaper to print. When printed the text on Pierre's work is rather big, reducing it would allow us to reduce paper size and cost. I think LibreOffice needs a consistent and greatly designed marketing campaign across languages about its flyers. Providing the same consistent brochure/flyer in different languages for UK, DE, NL and FR would reinforce our branding. On 04/15/2015 03:30 PM, Charles-H. Schulz wrote: Again, we are not so interested with a co-sponsorship but I would need a ballpark estimate of how much we're talking about. Do you need a ballpark about the price or the number of brochures/flyers you need? If this is about the price, read on. Here in the company, we need at least 1.250 prints (lower than excepted) in order for us to have preferential prices. Based on Pierre's work, for A4 colourful brochures (recto verso) with 2 folds (already folded), printed on 135gr glossy paper (traditional paper for printer are 80gr so this is a great improvement compared to the brochure we have now) + free redesign from Pixin'ko with sources is 319€ (VAT excluded). (372€ for 2.5k prints). Lowering the price is possible if we play with paper quality and print delays. If after compression, you find it still too expensive, like I said, co-partnership is possible with our small mentioned logo below the flyer/brochure. But for Brussels, we will need to have the final version before end of week in order to have them printed before 24th April. If you need to order as a company, or in the name of TDF, I don't think you need to add VAT, because this basically consists in intracom exchanges. The delivery price depends on the location where we need to send the package.

Hi everyone, I already answered Cor tonight, please thus find hereby an inline copy of my answer. Hi Cor, Thanks for the forward. Dear Agnez, Unfortunately I'm in internship until the end of May, I cannot so participate in his event, but can help indirectly. Marketing material for LibreOffice is quite absent, this is even more true for French[1] and a fortiori for Belgium[2]. Gonna ask the French team on #libreoffice-fr on IRC if they have material to give away. I have my self bookmarked some contents for free formats, etc. I think particularly to this content [3] made available by arc, another ASBL. While the document looks fine it is way from being complete. I made some suggestions to the author on Twitter [4], but he never found the time to implement them. But yes, we need well designed French marketing content. It's on my to do list but on very low priority for now. You can also send en email to one of the French mailing lists. Maybe they have more suggestions to make[5]. Hope this helps.

For LibreOffice, the graphical development will be free, but *only if* TDF needs 2000 brochures. If you want to compress the price, which will depend on the format/print quality you want, Pixin'ko can make a discount if the logo you can find at the centre of their website[1], is printed below the brochure as a small strip.

I'm just wondering whether we could tweak this a bit with successive posts and links on separate topics. Tagging and separate topics might just fit within such a platform. Let develop this feature in the near future, I mean as soon the new planet has been released ;-) I'm gonna put LOWN on the wiki on the evening and will create a new page in the header (according to sophi, no need to ask other teams, excepted if it is related to developers). To keep a hierarchy/organization, the page will be subclassed like this, : LOWN\1 LOWN\2 LOWN\3 ... We keep this easy I think; Wordpress if we use wordpress, another backend if we use another. Ok I see your Wordpress instance does support image inline [1]. Illustration images can be inserted easily then. Note that I'm unsure whether Wordpress is the best solution here. I don't have something specific in mind, so feel free to suggest something else. I've no other solution in mind, so let's go for the wordpress. hold on there, I only trust a wordpress post once I've taken a look at the post about to be published and how it fits visually within the page, so no cron job for me :-) Ok let's do (you :P or me if I've credentials) this step manually, then ;-) - Use a cron to extract the text version from the wiki and post it on the mailing list. yes the cron job here would indeed be very useful. I'll execute the cron on Sunday evening, in that way contributors can review the subjects if needed, and correct my poor English ;-) The WordPress publication should be made on Sunday too, to keep consistency.

This being said, there could be other options but we have to at least list our needs first. As you said, we have to provide 2 LOWN versions: a web one and a text based for the MLs. Let's thus define our needs by considering this situation: - - We use the wiki where we will put our full web version: allowing contribution from the whole community. My question: Where are we gonna upload the images/screenshots (if any article needs illustration?): on Owncloud or on the wiki itself? This could have issues for next steps. - - Use a cron to export the web version each week from the wiki to the TDF Wordpress. Do we need to use absolute links to the images (hosted on Owncloud or the wiki itself?) or do we need to reupload the images on the wordpress instance? Maybe I could have a look how to implement such a cron using PHP with MediaWiki [1] and WordPress [2]. - - Use a cron to extract the text version from the wiki and post it on the mailing list.

This is what I thought. It's really a pitty our Twitter accounts are so much disparate. Like MS Office does, we should federate around a only account.

I think the @AskLibreOffice was created for that reason: boths types of tweets were mixed. This account has now lost its main purpose. But now it is well implemented, we should keep it.

[libreoffice-marketing] wget is back - Membership committee application
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys. I'm a silent LibreOffice contributor/advocate since the beginning of the project. I'm an IT student from Belgium, currently finishing a computer science bachelor degree. I know most of the LibO team (I can put easily names on figures) as I attended the first LibO conf in Paris [1] and FOSDEM each year. Also, I subscribed most LibO mailing lists and I usually take the time to read ALL the messages posted there ;-) Now, I'm gonna stop to hide in my bush and be more active in this community. I mean don't hesitate to post when I've an idea / found a bug, etc and apply to be part of the Membership Committee [2].

[libreoffice-marketing] Please tweet about Hybrid PDF + several Twitter account managers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys. I'm back [1]. Since the exam period started a few weeks ago, I see a lot of students complaining on social networks about the eternal DOCX/ODF format interroperability problem. Indeed, students (I'm still one) usually share course summaries between them. One of their solution would be to use Hybrid PDF [2]. It's unfortunate that community managers haven't tweeted about it. I know Charles is still the main @tdforg and @libreoffice maintainer, and @asklibreoffice has a new maintainer since a few months [3]. Sometimes it can become rather difficult to manage all social networks. As explained in my previous mail, I follow the LibO community since the beginning, read most ML messages, and I sometimes tweet myself about LibO [4]. I'm able to put some tweets in the name of LibreOffice. If you need me, I'm there. I'm not asking to become a full time community manager, but be part of the team. AFAIK, Twitter doesn't still allow to have several maintainers for a corporate account. In that usecase, only one email address is allowed. I don't know how you are managing such a limitation, but having several community managers on a single Twitter account is possible. It would be nice to have a kind of mailing list, Twitter community managers will subscribe. In that way, all community managers will receive a notification and not only the one manager like it currently is.
