[libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice (hackers) event at Dutch congress, March 24
Hi, This is to inform you that I have been able to organise a LibreOffice (hackers) event at the Dutch congress NOiV, March 24. The congress is focussing on open standards, open source and mainly public administrations. https://noiv.nl/actueel/evenementen/congres/noiv-jaarcongres-2011-2/ There will be a room where LibreOffice will be present the whole day, with some developers working on features or bugs and people explaining about the project to the people passing by. Thanks to Jan Nieuwenhuizen (janneke) who has developed OpenOffice.org some years for Novell, and Ben Engbers, who is experienced java-developer, who will be there that day working on code. I will be there for some simple assistance, easy hacks and helping the audience, raising awareness and bringing over the enthusiasm of our project. And maybe we will be ebale to attract even more developers to join for that day and afterwards.. Of course thanks to NOiV for being so kind to invite us for the event.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] The LibO developers need input from former users. A proposal.
Hi Riemer, Thanks for posting, but pls, have a look at how it shows up in my mail. Would you pls be so kind to post again and try to get a decent formatting? That really will help to read and understand what you offer. Thanks a lot, Cor Riemer Thalen wrote (19-04-11 15:40) Hi all,My name is Riemer Thalen and I am not a programmer. I'm a marketing guy. For the last couple of years I have been wondering: how come so many people pay hundreds of dollars for MS Office when they can have OOo/LibO for free?Apparently, many people feel LibO does not match MS Office. Maybe they are missing functions MS Office has, maybe they think LibO behaves oddly, or maybe... we don't know.And that's a real problem. Because if we really want LibO to become the number one office suite in the world, we need to find out what keeps people form switching to OOo/LibO permanently.I am not an old hand in the OOo community. Maybe some market reseach into former users has been done in the past. I searched the Internet and I could not find any reports.At present, the LibO developers are guided by community feedback. But for our purpose, that will not do. It is like asking iPhone users if they need a keyboard. No, of course they don't. If they thought a keyboard was neccessary they would not have bought an iPhone in the first place.The same applies to the OOo / LibO community. The members are dedicated LibO users and by definition they are not representative for former users.As it happens, my daughter who is business student needs to do a marketing survey. That's no big deal nowadays. All you have to do is open an account at a survey site. Then you compose a three question questionnaire.The questionnaire is posted and tagged on Facebook and LinkedIn. "Did you use OpenOffice in the past? Please, help us improve it. Answer just three questions." If only half of the subscribers to this mailing list would post the link, we probably will have more than enough respondents.The questionnaire could read like this:Yes, I used or tried OpenOffice.org in the past and I do not use it anymore.1) The main reason I dropped OOo concerned (tick as many boxes as are applicable): O Writer,O Calc,O Impress (presentation)O the whole suite2) What made me drop OOo was the following. (Just the one big problem. What was the show stopper for you?)3) What else needs to be fixed in OOo in your opinion? (Name as many issues as you like.)Thank you for your feedback!Indeed, this is a qualitative survey. We need to know how former users feel about OOo/LibO. In what terms do they describe their problem? How strongly do they feel about it? That is more important than the exact percentage thatencountered the issue. (Of course, the responses will later be categorized and counted, but this will result in quantative indications only.)Once the results are in and processed, two importants things can be done:1. the developers can prioritize issues, fixes, modifications and new functions2. the marketing group can create a "switchers guide" based on real-life feedback. Not all functions in LibO will be and can be the same as in MS Office. Knowing the differences and how to deal with them will greatly improve user satisfaction.OK, this is as far as my proposal goes. I would like to hear from you guys what you think of it. Personally, I feel it is very important to get feedback from outside the community. Moreover, IMHO it is crucial not only for the success of LibO, but also for the Linux desktop. Without an office suite that is considered state-of-the-art, Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Fedora and the likes are fighting an uphill battle...Hope to hear from you soon.Riemer Thalen -- - http://nl.libreoffice.org - giving openoffice.org its foundation :: The Document Foundation - -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi, IMO the current download page is OK, and the best that could be done in the current time frame. Offering both versions on page, prevents that people easily oversee that there is a choice. Especially since the point-zero is for early adaptors, that would be bad. One remark though: IMO it ís necessary to also state in words that the 3.4.0 *is for early adaptors*.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] 3.4.2 - "will target enterprise deployments" - is limiting the market?
Hi, webmaster for Kracked Press Productions wrote (04-07-11 15:48) The LibreOffice download page has the following statement: Safely for production need by most users - LibreOffice 3.4.2, available at the end of July, will target enterprise deployments. Since I am going out to promote LibreOffice locally, should I promote 3.3.3/3.3.4 for businesses/schools/etc., or should I wait for 3.4.2 to come out for these businesses and schools? Since many will run on Windows, do the 3.3.x line. In the release notes, there is a link to fdo#37488, that will make the use for quite some users not so handy yet. Also the "will target enterprise deployments" part of the statement is rather "limiting" to me. Some people could think that 3.4.2 is not appropriate for the personal use or small business use. [...] I think it is a search for the right wordings. Many people, and also smaller business, will work very well with 3.4.1. For others, it is a good moment to start learning/testing in their environment. But for larger enterprises/many users with varying skills, it is not handy to work with 3.4.1. I guess over time, we will find the right attitude to make it as clear as possible. You may have noticed the work Christoph et all are doing on the new download page? (See the blog). Very important in this respect. So the question really is, once 3.4.2 comes out, should I/we start promoting it to businesses or continue promoting the 3.3.x line? We will know by then...

[libreoffice-marketing] Preparing announcement of the 3.4.2 release
[ Adding libreoffice-dev for _one_ time, so the guess there know we talk about this subject and can jump in if they so like ] Hi all, Soon there is an announcement for the 3.4.2 release to be expected. So it is time to decide how we can make that version known, also for use in enterprises. To help this, I start with a little looking back at the past months and then explain how I look at the 3.4.2 version. And my ideas about announcing. With the various previous releases, we were involved in the discussions choosing how the announce the release. It was obvious that 3.4.0 was a great step, but not ready for use in (larger) production environments. As is the case for any point-zero release. (And apart from that, it was due to a series of reasons, not only the time-based release process). 3.4.1 brought many bug fixes, but still it was not good enough to advise to larger deployments. However, users and companies are eager to profit the many improvements of the 3.4-versions. So with the announcement of 3.4.1, we stated that the 3.4.2 will target enterprise deployments. Now, we look at the coming 3.4.2 release. There is a large number of 60 bugs (or more) fixed in this version. (See this draft page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Nnino/Drafts/bugfixes3.4.2) So from the issue gathering the most annoying bugs, many have been resolved. (See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35673 ) Still, there are some issues that I would have to advice my customers about (in my work providing professional support for enterprises), since they could have effect on their specific work. For me this does not mean that 3.4.2 does not 'target for enterprise deployments'. But it does not apply for any enterprise deployment too, IMHO. In general that is no problem, since any serious enterprise will test and evaluate any new version for their specific use. Our lists of open and fixed bugs will be helpful to them. The time that enterprises spent on this check, also allows for others to give feed back on issues that might be important for others. So, how could this all be reflected in the way we announce 3.4.2? Basically, the situation IMO is that we can advise enterprises to look at this version to deploy. In cases where specific bugs block the use, there is a good change - looking at the current speed of fixing bugs) that the 3.4.3 release (in another month) will be the right one, so the preparations companies do, will be time spent useful.

Sounds interesting to have that, but would very difficult too: what to include, and what not, etc etc. So indeed the word "Ideally" is chosen right, IMO. I don't think any release is likely to meet an open-ended set enterprise-ready criteria. That supports the view that each company should make the judgement for its own situation, isn't it? There is no sharp line between OK and not yet OK, no black-white situation. Of course we should help enterprises by giving proper release information and such. Especially as, as happens with "blocker bugs", there is a tendency for but reporters to naturally attempt to escalate a bug which matters to them to the top priority to try and get it seen above the crowd. So enterprise-ready would just gets hijacked. Hmm, I do recognise that: in #35673 there is at least one annoying bug listed that was submitted by me, but that should not be considered a blocker for enterprise use ;-) Therefore the eyes of many are needed to get a balanced opinion. From the open issues in #35673, IMO some should be looked at (*) by enterprises, when preparing the upgrade, though some of them are present in 3.3.x too, I guess.

Since we say that a point-zero release definitely is not to be used in enterprise environments, that also hold the expectation that we can advise a later version as such. and if it is to be used as an argument for release blocking, schedule changes, criteria for release, argument for defining one version as stable and another not, etc. then surely it has to be accompanied by an objective test. If you see it as exact science: yes. But I do not see labelling a version as 'enterprise ready' as that. The smoketest.sxw macro using test is a possible model for scripting up some high-level test cases, e.g. there's been a bit of foo around mail merge. It should be possible without any super-dooper development knowledge to knock up a mail merge (non-email) test based on the basic database smoketest section of that. That'd give an objective "enterprise mail-merge requirements pass" test for example. Well, that should be attractive for part of the users at least!

There's the tangled-up concept of blessing 3.3.X as enterprise-ready and 3.4.X as not. So if an above bug exist in 3.3.X as well as 3.4.Y, then it presumably isn't relevant as a basis in selecting one LibreOffice version over another or as a blocking criteria for the next version, right ?. Yes, that is the logic behind it. The other side is, that 3.4.x offers much new and improvements to, that can well outweigh then some particular 3.4 bugs. And since that can easily be an individual choice, it can never be exact science drawing a sharp line. But based on current information, I would say 3.4.2 can be considered by most enterprise users.

I thought you'd never ask Oh, sorry if I missed a prior suggestion from your side. Quick comment: IMO the way the Marcons structure was at OpenOffice.org was passive, you setup a list of individuals as contacts in local areas and then they waited for something to happen. That is how it worked out mostly. Anyway, eventually. I have not been involved in the early years, but from what I remember there has been exchange of / demand for (year) reports in the early times. What the Ubuntu Local Team approach does is say, you must demonstrate that there is: 1 - more then one person in an area as a contact 2 - these people are actively engaged in local activities 3 - REQUIRE feedback from these people on a regular basis [This has to be both a carrot / stick approach, heavy on the carrot] in other words, and I realize only my POV, it seemed that the Marcon model was passive, where as the Local Team approach is pro-active. In any case I recognise that there was activity from our local Ubuntu group. But the Dutch language group was not completely inactive either ;-) Whatever it may be: I support the idea that a pro-active approach is what we need. So we definitely need to learn from the good examples that help to build such a sustainable community. A good visibility, as the list that Warrens refers to, is one important thing of course. Fabian Rodriquez made what I thought were good points along these lines a few months back, I think on the fr mailing list (discuss?) and I'll go look for that for a reference for this thread.

Hi David, all, David Nelson wrote (13-09-11 09:05) As a general thing in the LibreOffice project, I think we need to think seriously about a determined recruitment drive, for Base and for various other areas of the project. Just waiting for people to volunteer does not seem to be enough to cater to our needs for contributors. Marketing guys, can you give this consideration? Looks a good idea to me. The goal is to make it attractive for developers, isn't it? Of course those people are not attracted by a just mail base list for their own. They can be attracted when the work is considered cool, technology wise interesting, some area they user for themselves, maybe important. At least, that is my first thought.

Hi Charles, Alex, Great survey already :-) I have some little points I want to add. Charles-H. Schulz wrote (14-09-11 21:32) 1) Users typology - platform - modules that are the most used (list all LibreOffice modules and allow the responding person to select each of them from 1 to 5) 2) About Base: If using Base, do you use : 1) builtin (native) HSQLDB ; 2) another database engine (e.g. mysql, postgresql, H2, firebird, DB2, etc) 3) if the answer to (2) was "Yes", which kind of database engine ? 4) if the answer to (2) was "Yes" which kind of connector (JDBC, ODBC, MySQL C Connector extension, postgresql connector extension, some other driver etc) ? If using Base, do you : 1) need it for personal/domestic use only 2) need it for small scale professional use 3) need it for large scale, multi-user, business or organisation use I would insert the fourth (non-exclusive question): 4) do you use it as a replacement for MS Access? I would add "(possibly in combination with other applications)" - how would you rate Base? (choice between "it's bad, it's very buggy, it's okay but it could be much better, I really like it"). Scale of 1 to 5 (as in 1 for total agreement through indifferent (3) to 5 total disagreement with the statement) ? In general, it is better to avoid an odd number. By having 1-4, you force people to chose the better or worse side. "What single feature or functionality would you most like to see fixed rapidly ?" (like I said, I'm not too happy with this kind of reasoning, especially where there are several issues that vie for popularity in my own mind ;-)) The reason I deliberately inserted this question (I agree with your rephrasing) is that I am interested to see whether we actually may find one or several patterns in the answers. There are chances we'll get noise, but it'd be telling to pick some trend. And it will show what hinders users most in the current situation. Also handy to know. 3) Base in the future - do you plan to use Base more or less in the future? - do you plan to use Base as a front end to external DB or do you plan to use it as a front end to the embedded HSQLDB? - do you think LibreOffice should get rid of Base? - If LibreOffice were to get rid of Base, what would you be using as a front end to databases?

Only the project's leading devs could really give you a satisfactory answer. But, certainly, the lack of developer documentation is something that is a real brake to people wanting to ease themselves into a position of being able to hack code for the project. AFAIK, a lot of the Java is being replaced with Perl. This is a very disappointing development. You react on an assumption from David and Robert, who state they not know exactly what is going to happen. From what I saw at the developer list, there will only be some replacement of Java in the wizards, if possible. The developers will not choose to make the life harder.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] List of OOo bugs fixed in LibreOffice
Hi Charles, all, Charles-H. Schulz wrote (23-12-11 18:19) Since we're entering the bughunting season, Eike and Cor have come up with a list of bugs that were reported in the old OOo bugzilla and that got fixed inside LibreOffice. It might be good, marketing wise, to have this list and share it. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=i%23 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=%23i Thanks for posting this, but Eike and me were not yet ready with our work. The queries list all commits that involve some issue from OpenOffice(.org). But among those, there are also issues that have been fixed in OOo, or issues that represent features that were developed by OpenOffice-developers. So all, please clean up the lists before spreading as if it are all old bugs, fixed in LibreOffice. That's only true for part of them. Sorry that I omitted to finish this earlier / expressing myself clearly enough in advance.
