Re: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012
This note was posted by Drew Le 2011-12-12 09:22, drew a écrit : Howdy, Recently there has been interest in getting a calendar, listing events an items of interest to the LibreOffice community and I would suspect it would be of equal interest to the OpenOfice community as well. I've tried to be pro-active in this regards and have setup a web based calendar for just such a purpose. I'm looking for help in assembling calendar entries focused on Free Open Source office tools supporting the OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard. Anyone can post events, comments or messages to the calendar without registering at the site - new posts from non-registered individuals will need to be moderated before being added to public access views. So, I'd also be interested, quite, in anyone that would like to help maintain the calendar with me. The calendar events can be added to your web sites via RSS feed, our any iCal and other client. The calendar web interface is found at: http://lo-portal.us/cal/ Details (more to come) including syndication links are available at: (yet another new site that went up this week) http://lo-portal.us/oucv/node/3 Thanks in advance for any help and I'm looking forward to any questions anyone may have about ways to utilize the service. Best wishes, //drew While I feel appreciative of this, I am a little disappointed that you have jumped the discussion thread on this and gone ahead without discussing it with the list where we are in fact discussing setting up a LibreOffice calendar. Maybe you missed this discussion? We really need to include people in on the discussion who are interested in working on a calendar solution. I would think that your calendar could be taken up as an example that we could adopt. I will post this note on the thread where we are discussing the calendar. You may want to read through the post to familiarize yourself with the discussion.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012
Hi :) I like the proposed page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events for the short-term. It neatly deals with most of the issues.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012
Hi :) I think stick with the categories that were in the 2011 calendar but only create them for 2012 as and when they are needed. There's no point in having an empty category. If we had a proper calendar rather than a wiki then more categories might be a good idea but on a wiki it seems best to minimalise headings a bit.

Hi :) My vote would be for MariaDb. Is anyone on this list also on the Web-design List? I think it would be best to ask them to set-up the Database? Errr, MySql is run by Oracle so it might be worth avoiding using that one!

RE: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012
01:19 Friday 25 November 2011 Dear Tom: I agree that MySQL is not a good choice because of Oracle. There are some other databases that may be worthy of consideration besides MariaDB. I understand that MariaDB is intended as a dropin replacement for MySQL and that there is value in this compatibility with the LAMP and other implementation paradigms from the link at: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-versus-mysql. What about considering PostgreSQL? While the following link, http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL is not directly applicable to the MariaDB fork there are many valid points for consideration. The same with this other less recent link: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Why_PostgreSQL_Instead_of_MySQL_2009. Drizzle is the other fork which got my attention because of its addressing modern CPU architectures, see: http://www.drizzle.org/content/about-drizzle-project and http://docs.drizzle.org/brief_history_of_drizzle.html for a quick overview. From their home page the positive affirmative statement that it is ACID transactional is worth exploring further. My focus comes from a hardware view and what will be the most efficient for processing and then the ease for programming and future scalability. When I think of scalability I also think of being able to include Unicode along with different regional data representations. The idea is to be able to design so the model can be used for other purposes as well. Until you wrote about MariaDB I was not aware of the fork or that of Drizzle.

Is anyone on this list also on the Web-design List? I think it would be best to ask them to set-up the Database? Errr, MySql is run by Oracle so it might be worth avoiding using that one! MariaDb forked off and is a drop-in replacement for it in much the same way that Libreffice is a drop-in replacement for OpenOffice (ie MariaDb has developed a lot faster than MySql recently) Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 24/11/11, Stefan Weigel stefan.wei...@bildungskreis.org wrote: From: Stefan Weigel stefan.wei...@bildungskreis.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012 To: marketing@global.libreoffice.org Date: Thursday, 24 November, 2011, 6:50 Hallo Andreas, Am 23.11.2011 21:21, schrieb Andreas Mantke: could you fix that please (it's a wiki ;-) I am not sure, how to fix that in a wiki. :-) There are several types of events in different regions of the world, some of global interest, some only for some native languages, some both.

However, if we can manage, right from the start, an organized way of inputting our events, then all people inputting events would follow the same template; events would be categorized; participants would be noted in the events data. This would allow us to go back and evaluate our success at event participation and show LibreOffice users that we are organized at inputting events. I would favour a website-based calendar for inputting events rather than a wiki page. There are enough of us now with admin rights to Silverstripe to input the events as they come up. And, even better, maybe some member(s) would take the initiative and input future events where a call for participants could be made on the lists. There would be no need to keep making up different wiki pages, the calendar database take care of storing the events. If we can do a website calendar-based events registry then there is no reason to do it now. We just need someone to put it on the site and let us users who are interested in filling it start using it. No need for a wiki if we are using a calendar. Otherwise we are constantly trying to update too many pages.

Although I don't think the regular meetings should be added tot he calendar, for recurring meetings, a dedicated page that lists the weekly or monthly schedule is more appropriate. If we are to be transparent, then we should have ALL meetings showing on our calendar. New visitors and prospective members will have an easier time seeing the frequency of meetings for the different sections of the LibreOffice project and, yes, I think the TDF SC meetings should also show on the calendar. It should be a place where all people are served. It would also show how much of a vibrant and open community that we are. We need to get more people involved in the project as there are still too few of us trying to manage it. Having all of the events at a glance on a calendar month, for example will keep each section appraised of each other's schedule and avoid double booking on some days, and, may encourage our users to join our membership and help out in a more active way or maybe even listen in on the meetings. Listing meetings on a dedicated page just makes it harder and frustrating for users to find these pages. It's just one more hurdle for users to handle when we could just add these to the calendar and tag them as weekly meetings or monthly meetings once. I don't see the reason for making it more difficult for people to see when meetings are occurring when it could easily be done through a calendar. That leaving the choice for categories - what categories would you like to see? Are there really that many events that filtering by category is necessary? Categorization normally starts on a small scale and will eventually grow as more people get involved in a project. Having the ability to categorize/filter is what we should aim for. It would also be nice to have this ability for the marketing purposes so that we could better analyze the breakdown of dates for marketing plans. So, categories would then include (at this point): Conferences CFP or CFA deadline dates (Call for papers/articles) Reminder dates for various events where a nudge to users/members is necessary Seminars (for example: LibreOffice help sessions at LUGs, Colleges, Universities) TDF SC meetings Voting dates/deadlines Developer meetings Plugfest meetings Design meetings Documentation meetings Marketing meetings Other or Miscellaneous (where an event does not fit in any category) OR -- able to add other calendars into a master calendar where a user could switch on/off the calendar view. This is done extremely well with Google Calendar. This could be realized via the ics/rss imports/exports - although I don't really think it is necessary. Looking at the wiki page we have less than 40 events in 2011, and 2012 currently is at 4. So I don't quite see the need for categories. The conferences where LibreOffice participated and had some presence in 2011 should be pre-filled for 2012 and left open for members/users to sign-up. Most conferences are announced at least 1 year in advance and we should fill these in, if possible, a year or months in advance so that members can plan on participating. We may be able to man more conferences if we post them on the calendar thus allowing more time for members to plan to attend. The calendar then also becomes a booking tool for conferences. Same for sectional meetings.

I would also favour a website-based calendar as this is the landing point for most users. About the Silverstripe calendar: when I checked into it a while ago, it did not seem to fit some of the criteria that I thought would be important for a useful calendar. A useful events calendar, as well as being able have all the regular input fields for an events calendar, should also offer one of these two abilities: -- able to categorize events -- when inputting events, we should be able to choose the language and/or various other categories such as TDF Board meeting, conferences, Plugfests, etc. Users could then filter their calendar views as needed. OR -- able to add other calendars into a master calendar where a user could switch on/off the calendar view. This is done extremely well with Google Calendar. Having one or the other of these abilities would give the project all the flexibility it would need. At this point, I would favour embedding a master LibreOffice Google Calendar and the various other sections of LibreOffice (TDF SC; Developer; Design; Documentation; Marketing as well as the other language groups) would create their own calendars and the main international calendar could add-on the calendars the other section calendars. Then same could be done with the other language groups. One of the advantages of using the Google Calendar is that we can make the calendar public and other groups would be able to embed our calendar into their sites. This, from the point of view of marketing, would also help us disseminate on a larger scale, any of the LibreOffice events. This, to me, would permit the needed flexibility in events calendering needed by the project. Google Calendar also permits the admin of calendars by many individuals. I don't believe we would have any problems getting help with getting administrative help from our membership as many of us would have enough experience at inputting events into a Google calendar.
