Hi Cor, Le 07/04/13 12:33 PM, Cor Nouws a écrit : ) but they offer the standard categories based on Interests: Music, Education, Computers Software Programming, Food, Outdoors, Home Improvement, etc. As it was suggested earlier here I'd like to go for the Education category. Why do you prefer that over 'Computers Software Programming' ? thanks, Cor It was my suggestion. We have attended many conferences with the intention of attracting devs to the project and are still well organized for more such conference attendance but we have had very little in the way of trying to work on user/membership growth which has led us to critical shortage of membership help in many areas of our project. There are just too few of us trying to contribute for the amount of work. We are great at initiatives, but, maintaining these initiatives needs a volunteer workforce of contributors (i.e. wiki page maintenance, website page maintenance, events maintenance, marketing, design ...). Some of our most prolific contributors are now helping with maintenance whereas they should be (ideally) working on projects they are more interested in. We need more user/member contributors to help upkeep our project in areas other than coding. These are all the arguments for which I proposed we go for education as we will get a larger spectrum of potential user-volunteer-types in this category.

Hi Charles, Le 24/03/13 01:05 PM, Charles-H. Schulz a écrit : Hello, I'd like to revisit the Facebook Ad project, and I'd like some feedback on the approach. Let me summarize how a Facebook Ad seems to work: * you base yourself on a Page (Product Page, Fan Page, etc.) and the ad will bring people who click on it on the page (This is not an online Ad leading you to www.libreoffice.org ! ) * you set a maximum daily amount you want to spend: I suggest 30$ for about one month, and then let's see where that takes us. I understand Facebook provides metrics, but if anyone knows more about this, please feel free to share/help. * you target an abstract population of Facebook users that has specific interests listed: we could go for the Computer/Software category, but perhaps there are better ideas around. * Finally the goal of this: While we of course love to have more people coming to our LibreOffice Page, the point is twofold: have more people download LibreOffice, and attract new contributors. The way Facebook ads works is not by pushing a banner or a sponsored link but to insert their ads on the sides of the Facebook interface to a certain number of people leading them to our LibreOffice page, and from there on to us. Feedback welcome, but please, if you are against Facebook, which I can totally understand, do abstain: Facebook has about 1 billion profile and we want to reach out to people. Thanks! Are you still going through with this? If yes, then, re: targetted groups, I am not sure going for the Computer/Software category will yield many positives, I would suggest we rather focus on user groups, IMO, we should try groups in the domain of education where we are likely to get more interest. Devs and coders are usually covered with our participation at conferences, meets, hackfests etc. and these are well covered. We are not advertising to groups in education at all.
