[libreoffice-design] Re: The purpose of Impress
Le 2014-01-22 16:16, Mirek M. a écrit : I knew this was going to be brought up -- the word complement was chosen deliberately. Again, this is a question of focus. I'd really prefer to focus on creating the best speech complements rather than speech replacements, as, when given in conjunction with a speech, the latter tends to take focus away from the speech. If the slides are a full-on replacement, why is the presenter even there? Why not just autoplay the slides? That's not to say putting up only slides is worthless -- they often provide a good overview of the speech. That said, it's always better to provide the slides along with the talk (video or audio, or even transcript), and that tends to be the norm nowadays. I believe what you are describing is an outcome ideal and not a functional use of Impress. IMO, we have to be careful to not purpose Impress to a narrow definition as it may lead to a tool that is rendered of less use for those who use it for what it essentially does best, and, that of slideshow presentations. In education, we start school children experimenting with presentation software and later following with teaching them to complement their slideshows with speeches. It is only at the very end of their academic highschool years where we try to hone students skill sets at creating speeches that are in fact complemented by their slideshows. What you are basing your present ideal of the tool is the outcome of all of this training. Till now, Impress fits in well with this type of training and it would be sad to see Impress being given a design purpose that sits only well with an end outcome goal. IMO, giving Impress too narrow of a design purpose may result in having the very people who use it now to train early years students to look at using a different tool in primary/secondary school systems. It is pretty obvious to classroom teachers that tools used to teach young students are often times the tools they will use later on in life. I see no purpose in moving the design of Impress away from what most people see it as being a good standalone slideshow tool. However, I see every reason to see Impress given an added design emphasis of not only being a good quality slideshow tool, but also one that helps in ways to complement speeches, for example, add some way to store presentation notes that may be read off a second screen, while the first screen runs the slideshow; or a way to store notes that accompany a slideshow, and where these notes may be pulled later to read along with the slideshow etc.) We should be careful in giving any of our software too narrow a purpose definition, as we risk designing it for too narrow a slice of users/niche. Therein is where I would worry.

[libreoffice-design] Re: The purpose of Impress
Hi Mirek, Le 2014-01-19 08:45, Mirek M. a écrit : Hi guys, In order to be able to effectively design and shape the future of LibreOffice modules, it is imperative that we define what these modules are for. Knowing the purpose of each module will help us focus on doing one thing well and avoid counterproductive feature creep. Since, out of all the modules, Impress's purpose might be one of the clearest, let's start with it. My rough draft: The purpose of Impress is to make it simple and quick to craft a slide show to perfectly complement a speech. Please comment on this. I'd like to have the purpose decided on by the next IRC chat. Sure, it can be be this, however, it should stand on its own merits without the speech as well. In reality, most people will use it to complement their speeches but also usually post it on some form of media storage (cloud, website etc.) for people to download and to view themselves without any accompanying speech. So, sure, it can complement speech, BUT, it is usually intended to stand on its own merits for other people to read. As for having this discussion on the marketing list ... we can make of the Impress module whatever we decide, whether a fancy slideshow, support for speech, entertainment package, photo repository, etc. IMO, for design purposes, defining the Impress function discussion is fine on this list, but for the outside public, the marketing team should be putting on the descriptive face of Impress -- advertising as a one function module would not be in our best interest as it can serve many functions.

[libreoffice-design] Re: Design resource page
Le 2013-06-28 15:18, Oskar Olsson a écrit : I found that the marketing department had a page with resources they can use in their development process. How about a similar thing for UI design? I just made a little SVG with default LibreOffice colors by typing in the rgb values. This kind of palette in a svg format would be great to have as an asset. Same thing goes for svgs containing UX elements for rapid mockups: ubuntu (the default?) UI elements, Windows 7 UI elements, Android UI elements etc. where the elements are things like button, slider, dropdown etc. It feels stupid to redo what others have already done. Regards/Oskar Just to be clear on the Resources page, this is the same page listed on the Design wiki page menu that reads Artwork Resources. I have changed the name on the Marketing menu line to show Artwork Resources to match the same as on the Design wiki menu. The Visual Elements page is a Design/Marketing collaborative page where are posted artwork that have gone through an approval process by the Design/Marketing teams. When the marketing team requests for a design element, it normally asks the design list for their suggestions and when there is a design that is voted acceptable by both teams, then it is normally posted on the Visual Elements wiki page. We do not use if to store any design in the process of being worked on. However, we do keep our older design elements on that page, just in case we ever need to refer back to them. But yes, that particular wiki page, the Visual Elements wiki page, is really for elements that are used in marketing but also applies to some website design elements as well.

[libreoffice-design] Need a small graphic for the General Information brochure
In our General Information brochure[1], we (the marketing team) break some sections of text with a line that is made up of ≈ (tilde's). However, when we go to print, some printers interpret this line as a group of tilde's separated by micro-blank-space between each tilde OR other printers interpret this line as a group of tilde's but grouped together as one wavy line. We should really be using a nice graphic to separate these sections. Would anyone on the design team have a good graphic that we could use instead of this line? We could then use the same graphic in all of our brochure-types that we are planning to write up. The marketing team would really appreciate it if you could take a look at the brochure and see if you would have any suggestion(s) for a graphic replacement.

[libreoffice-design] Design list and UX-Design list purposes
This is a note to all of the regular contributors to this list. I was wondering if we could just do a quick defining of the Design list and its purposes. The reason I ask this is that I find that often people will post more UX related questions that would be better debated on that list. I see the Design list as really being a list where LibreOfice design members are asked questions or asked to help out with designing icons, logo design, VI requests, designing of any parts of the LibreOffice suite elements ... essentially all that pertains to designing objects using a paint/vector programme. This would also include discussions re: needs of the marketing people. The UX-design list, I see more a list where the discussion of extending or modifying the actual look and feel of LibreOffice and not the actual re-drawing or drawing of new elements using a paintingg/vector programme. The list is more concerned with discussions and examples of these new modification to the programme which would lead to some coding changes. I am not sure if I have described the differences in these two lists enough for people to understand ... feel free to add your interpretation. If we could ask people to respect these two differences, then we would then have a clear difference of the type of work expected on these lists and perhaps we could then advertise the fact that on the design list we are really looking for people who are merely interested in the drawing aspect of design and not that of the true design aspect of the distro. We may then be able to be more focused on our contributions on these two lists? I find that we sometimes are in the middle of getting some good contribution done on this list when another post arrives and distracts enough to lessen the previous contribution and leads to less focus of the items. I don't know about the other UX-designers, but it looks like the UX-members need to constantly watch the design list as well as the UX list just in case any UX questions are asked on the design list. We (on the design list) could do more moderation and ask that any posting of UX-related items should be re-posted on the correct UX list rather than allow it to be taken up on the design list. And, the UX members could do the same thing on the UX list. Would this sound reasonable to the UX team and the design team?

Still, feel free to show us a modified brochure. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOfficeV.4.0.x-CommunityBrochureTemplate-A4-modified.odt And comments on changes, the only somewhat noticeable change is the front page which I like better with more white: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:2013-05-05-Note-09-21.pdf Regards Mattias Thanks for the samples. Here are my comments: * panel 3 -- front page: I am not sure I like this design. From a marketing point of view, IMO, the white at the top of the panel, gives the impression that someone forgot to add some text, I don't think we are too concerned with the panel 3 focusing on the OS's as this is what we actually want to do ... we want people who have picked up our brochure to realize that we are on these 3 OS's (and eventually Android and possibly more). * frames ... great! I love the fact that the green bar is now tied in with the frame. This will cause fewer problems with community teams. * LibreOffice white logo in the green bar, yes, great the spacing is equal. Thanks! * I printed up a sample of the included text in your example that you set at 120%. I am not sure that I agree with this spacing. It makes the brochure look unconventional and too metric. IMO, if we are to tweak anything, we should try to tweak the size of the font to make it more readable. We have gone through this exercise before with sample text and IMO this should be left to the decision of the marketing team who will be creating the text and basing it on their own impression of readability and how it fits into the brochure -- IMO, the spacing is more of a marketing decision and less of design decision. The marketing team will be creating content for about 15 types of brochure and they will all have different content, but use the same community template design. ** Don't forget, this thread is all about creating a community template without any text. So IMO from your suggestions we could already: * adopt the logo and the green bar (frame) changes into the template * leave the sentence spacing to the marketing team, as it deals more with marketing issues and less of design issues. * wait for other people's opinion on your suggestion for the panel 3 (front page) design ** I would vote -1 on it, I prefer the original design. *** We could change the panel 3 (front panel) design to the one that you suggest if some of the contributing designers on the list agree to the change. I would like to see Charles, Italo, Issa and Tim's comments on your panel 3 suggestion before accepting it as they have been contributing their comments the most on the designs. Thanks for your help with the design. We really appreciate your help.

[libreoffice-design] Re: Brochure template design - green community logo with testing content included
Hi Mattias Many thanks for your comment, Le 02/05/13 03:03 AM, Mattias Põldaru a écrit : I took a look at these files. Please don't take it as much of a criticism but friendly notes on how to improve it. Here are my remarks: The logo on top green bar is vertically aligned to nothing. It would be pleasing on the eye if at least the paper icon looked vertically centered. And if possible, center text vertically as well (as done in previous versions). If you are talking about the logo itself, we do not have any choice. We must follow the design for logo external use as outlined on our wiki design page[1]. The logo is centered on each panel, if it is not, then, yes, it should be centered. As for goodlooking professional texts these usually have slightly smaller text with greater line spacing. IMHO 10,5 pt with 120% line spacing and 0.14 cm spacing below the paragraph looks fine. Although I don't think I would ever use Liberation fonts myself. We are trying to use fonts that are easily accessible to our members. The brochure is for external community use and the Liberation font is only a design suggestion. This is not the case with the official brochure where the font is specific and should be used. Right now we have 3 different greens on the page (front page logo, front page text and border). We should reduce it to one (or two, if one has to be pale). As for the white first page, saving ink is a good reason. But right now it looks kind of dull. Maybe if we would add a colorful image with all the icons flying out of LibreOffice box or something slightly fancy. Or use even more white (see linked file). Not sure if adding more objects on the brochure would make it print friendly. During our tests, we found that keeping to the LibreOffice design colors (greens) gave the best result as far as balancing the look and being easy on ink. These brochures will be printed on home printers for community, LUG, or small print runs. The panel positions on A4 doesn't exactly match, the positions from left should be 0,6 (was 0,51), 10,5 and 20,4 cm (was 20,48). And since you use panels the page text column gutter is not set, otherwise it should be double the border, 0,51 * 2 = 1,02 cm. Or was it to match up for the space lost when folding? (29,7−8,71⋅3)/6 = 0,595 (29,7−8,71⋅3)/6⋅3+8,71 = 10,495 (29,7−8,71⋅3)/6⋅5+8,71⋅2 = 20,395 We could play with the margin settings to make them better, sure, but in the end, the folding of the brochure needed enough space to allow for , as you say, space lost when folding. These will most likely be folded by hand. Feel free to modify the margins if this will make it easier to fold. We have to be careful as not to leave so little margin space that the folding will get harder to do. Again, these are community brochures. Since you use panels you could delete the bottom bar images and color the panel bottom border, which would make the problem of hiding images go away. I think I tried that, do you mean making the page itself green and the frame would then sit on the top? Maybe you could make a sample brochure of all these changes and show us? If you would like to do this, could you show us a sample before uploading it to the wiki brochure space? The design on the wiki page has already gone through a lot of discussion. Still, feel free to show us a modified brochure. Thanks for the comments and the help.

Maybe we should think more of modifying the template so that there are cells on each panel. This would allow us to make panel3 background black. We need to make the template a solid version so that any nl team who wishes to use it does not need to look for a fix to it right from the start. They need to start with a working template. Would anyone have any other suggestion? Otherwise we could just add a comment to the template explaining that if the black is on the wrong panel, the user should: * make sure that the Open Sans Condensed font is installed * add/remove blank lines until the black background text is forced back to its position on panel3. BTW ... we could also move the panel2 text (the links and text) to a comment note as well. FYI, by default, comments are NOT printed when the pamphlet is sent to print, there is an option window that where the user can change this setting in the popup print-window.

[libreoffice-design] Re: need branding approval[?] for the flier/brochure
Hi Tim and Issa, Le 03/04/13 07:09 AM, Kracked_P_P---webmaster a écrit : Here is my feelings about the logo for the brochure[s]. First, the full logo cannot be used if the brochure does not pass the branding requirements. So if there is someone who wants to make a brochure and does not want to submit it for branding they cannot use the full logo. At that point, we should have a brochure template that could be used that takes off the TDF text from the logo. So they can make their brochure and use it. Then they can change the logo to the branded one and submit it for branding. So the user can have a brochure that looks good and only need to have the branded version of the logo substituted for the non-branded one. The original brochure I/we use for the NA-DVD project went through the branding process, as far as I was told by the guy who originally created it, and who no longer on the project. If it did not go through that process, we could not use the full logo. I would think that it would be a good idea to give our users/marketers the option to download a generic brochure that has been made and branded, or give them the option to download a non-branded version to play with and edit it for their regional needs. So I feel we need to have two brochures, or four if you add the A4 and Letter paper size issue into the mix. Tim L. - LO NA-DVD project Just so that we are all on the same page on this. Our branding rules are this: * use of the official logo (the LibreOffice logo with subline The Document Foundation is ONLY for official and approved use. It MAY NOT BE USED for any other purposes. TDF will ask for its removal if it has not been approved for its use. This logo is used for our official notices/official articles/use by members who have gotten permission from the TDF Bod. In all cases, permission must be gained by the TDF for its use. * use of the community logo (the LibreOffice logo WITHOUT any sublines) is for community/personal/outside use and does not need any permission for its use. For example, a native language community may use if for a newsletter, a magazine may use if to report on a LibreOffice article, you may put this logo on your webpage etc. The marketing team is in charge of keeping track of any abuse of the official logo and to report of any abuse, which, we have done and are still doing. We generally report this to the BoD, who will normally report and ask the entity or person to remove the logo and to use the community logo instead. This is done to assure our brand and trademark worldwide. You can read the notes on this on our branding wiki page, as well as examples of our accepted official and community logos.[1] Cheers, Marc [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Logos -- Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com http://www.parEntreprise.com parEntreprise.com Supports OpenDocument Formats (ODF) parEntreprise.com Supports http://www.LibreOffice.org -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@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/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-design] Re: how it this brochure printed?
Hi Tim et al, Thanks for the 1st looks. IMO, we should just work on getting an agreed design for a community pamphlet template. We need the design team (in this case Issa has graciously offered his help to us) to help us get an approved designed template. After this, the marketing team does not need to bother the busy design team. We are already using approved designed icons included in our text, which does not need to be re-approved a second time by the design team, and, unless we have any new design elements, there would not be any reason to bother the design team. So, IMO, we should just be working towards: * an official pamphlet template design and get it approved (this has been done as there were no objections -- Arabic font forthcoming). It can be found here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/archive/5/54/20130402094207%21Brochure-lo-4---A4-paper-size--v4--websitelike.odt * a community pamphlet template design and get it approved.

As per Tim's request, this template should watch out for ink bleedthrough and shadow from the printing process and should also try to minimize the use of ink; this will allow members who wish to print on their home printers to do so at minimal cost.

I have corrected it and you may see it here[2]. It looks like Tim may prefer the print from your example with all green[3]. Perhaps we should adopt this one then? I wonder if Tim has had time to try out the suggestions that I posted? Also why should this use the community logo? Or are you suggesting another template for community brochures? In any case the logo is slightly different according to this https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Logo_resources_for_community_members_and_external_use (The text should be bottom aligned with the symbol). Yes, we have two logos, we have an official logo with the subline The Document Foundation and the community logo without any subline.

We then need to discuss the font for the pamphlet, as well as the background colour for the panels (I say this as you seem to have included a grey-ish colour to the background). Therefore these are the elements that we would work/suggest: * designed header -- half-circle * 1st panel design * font * panel background color I added the background color to match that of the website's Discover page (as with the font and colors). I would add font color(s). How does this sound. This would give us an agreed-to template for the marketing team to work with. The marketing team could then fill the panels with the information they wish to add. Sounds good. The choice we would then have to make is that of font ... I am not sure but who has suggested this but is the website font Open Sans Condensed? Yes. Open Sans Condensed for the front page and Open Sans Condensed Light for the Discover page. I think it's good unless readability is an issue. How does this look as a template design for our marketing needs? I thought the front page stood out less than the other pages, so I tried using a dark background. Also I think we need to use the full logo on the front page so I did that as well.

I was informed that it was summited to the BoD for possible wording changes, etc., but it has been worked on enough for need to get the branding issues taken care of. Some spacing/table format modification will be worked on, along with and text modification that may be needed. But, the essentials are there. The logo image I used was a modified version of what is now seen on the opening page. I had to piece it together from the parts.

User:Krackedpress, ODT format - Version 4 - left justified While its great that there is now a discussion about re-updating the website, it does not address Tim's request to look at the pamphlet. We have gone beyond the point of deciding whether the half-circle of OK or not. The docs team has adopted it into their published LibreOffice4 user guides designs[1]. IMO, we should try to follow suit with comparable pamphlets which will also help promote our printed guides. I actually like the half-circle design, it is distinct and easily identifies our newest version of LibreOffice4. Prior to this we were using our distinct motif. I would like to see some kind of branding element that ties all of these together rather than having all disjointed materials that make us look like we are not cooperating at all between groups. So, as sad as I think that consultation could have been better all round, IMO, the half-circle design should stay for LibreOffice v.4.0 and we could all start working towards a more concerted effort of branding the next LibreOffice v.5.0 banner. Could we take another look at the pamphlet with the idea of keeping the half-circle design and comment on it? Once we have tweaked the design, the marketing team can get going on creating other pamphlets with more specific content for different uses (i.e. community growth, conference pamphlets, educational pamphlets etc.). We are in dire need of more marketing materials and the marketing team is eager to get going on this. BTW ... the German team is also using the half-circle design for their version of their Base handbook[2].

Also, if you've started using the half-circle, just continue, but please, update either the colours of the logo or the colours of the text to match the other. And don't put two logos atop each other (as I said, there is a theme of redundancy, there is), especially not if they are totally differently coloured.

Should TDF continue to churn out dot-x releases at the current rate, and should we get to somewhere like .8, that would be 4 years! While that surely is enough time to update all branding, it might be a bit too long before we decide one way or another. Astron. Sorry, 5.0 was just a number I picked at random. The pamphlets at this point are only to promote LibreOffice v.4.0. As far as doing a re-make of the design, then we should all, marketing-design-website-docs, cooperate so that the overall look and feel is more fluid. Unfortunately, the docs are being published on Lulu, the website is published, so we (marketing and design) are the trailing end of all of this process. Matching up the look and feel of what is being used at present is the only common sense thing to do. Looking at the release plan[1], IMO, we could perhaps re-tool for maybe 4.2 at the earliest, but I doubt we will have all of the website theme design sorted out by then. I would suggest to perhaps hold off till 4.3 at the earliest (it is not on the release plan yet). Tim or I will post an updated pamphlet here to check as soon as we have updated it.

Hi Wim, Le 03/03/13 07:59 AM, Wim Schwerdtner a écrit : Dear Design Team of LibreOffice! I am not sure, whether this is the right contact to post my suggestion, but probably you can forward it, if needed. LibreOffice/OpenOffice I use now for about ten year in academia environment and I really appreciate the achievements you have reached so far. But there is one missing feature I really get upset about for these many years: the missing ability to print comments next to the text (and not at the end of the document). It is such a critical and central feature you need urgently in every collaborative situation. Here is the fitting bug report page I found: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36815 . I really wonder, that the developers of LO concentrate on many minor issues like bullet points in the note section, but neglect the central ones that are neccessary to use LO at all. (Now I always have to open my Writer documents in Word to be able to print the comments. So, everyone else would stick to Word in such a situation.) Please help!!! With best regards, Wim Schwerdtner Thanks for reminding us of this feature request that has been with us for a while. I was also keeping an eye out for this feature request, but lost track of it. I will see if I can raise the profile of the this particular feature request with the devs. Some of my colleagues in the educational field have also voiced the same wish for LibreOffice. Could you check in with us in a month or two to see if it has been picked up by a dev? Feel free to ping (write) me if you wish.

[libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice brochures
Hi KJ, Daniel et al, First off, thanks Daniel for all of the work on these pamphlets and having the marketing/design teams comment on them, it is really appreciated. I had already seen the pamphlets and thought the content was great, but, have to admit that I had not thought of the other points that had been brought up, so it is good that the pamphlets are being shown here for more tweaking. (comments inline) Le 2013-02-21 06:04, Daniel A. Rodriguez a écrit : 2013/2/21 klaus-jürgen weghorn olo...@sophia-louise.de Am 20.02.2013 17:26, schrieb Daniel A. Rodriguez: Hi, could you please take a look at this file https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Triptico-LibreOffice-Carta.odt What do you think about? Is in spanish, I know, but generally speaking I mean. The layout, the amount of info, etc. Should this be an official marketing brochure? A community one My suggestion to Daniel, that community pamphlets could be made of these, but we could also make them into official pamphlets for ES team members who would officially be representing the TDF/LibreOffice at ES conferences. It this were the case, then the use of the official ES pamphlets would only be used with approval from Italo/Charles as per our usual marketing agreements. If so my opinions to that: The brochure is breaking the branding rules [1] (but no-one seems to care of branding rules lately): You should not put the logo above LibreOffice. KJ, sorry you feel that way, but I think the regular contributing members are usually the ones who keep an eye out for this. This one slipped by me and good thing that Daniel posted the pamphlets on these lists. Let's keep it up, there are more of us trying to keep the branding in line with published docs, we are just not as many ... we need more members on the teams. My bad, I'll fix that I don't know if it is a good idea to use a voted out cover design. The design of 4.0 web page (and of 4.0 documentation) leads to another direction: black half circle with logo on it. But there was no design (or marketing) decision about that, as I remember. Now that I look at it, sure, we should be using the accepted cover for brand exposure. But I am not sure that this also applies for community docs. If the cover that Daniel decides to use has an appropriate license and it is for community use, I am not sure if the same rules apply. Maybe Italo/Charles could chime in on this. But, yes, it would be nice if the official cover could be used. Is the new cover ready for use on marketing materials? This answer would have to come from Mirek I guess, or do you (KJ) know if it is ready for use? Is it going to be tweaked any more than what it is now? As is not an official brochure just thought could be a way to make something different. [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Guidelines_and_Best_Practices As some of us are getting older: An 8pt font isn't really good to read for old men who don't want to wear glasses ;-). You should use 11pt. And so you won't get so much text but good information. If you need the whole text you should not make a trifolder with letter size but a short handout or bigger size. So, as you are not the first saying this will assume a rework is needed As far as I know, the font size has not been really officially discussed and directed for official use ... that is to mean that, as far as I can remember, there has never been any suggestion to the marketing members to try to keep to a certain font size for official pamphlets. Realistically speaking though, we have been making use of appropriate font size for the amount of information needed on the pamphlet/flyers. I have checked all of the ones found on our wiki (I am in the process of cataloguing all of our new/past pamphlets on the wiki)[1], and the font sizes range from 9-12pt. But, yes, using 11pt is a good compromise. In educational texts, in the region where I live, we usually look for 12pt and will allow as small as 10pt for the older grades of students -- I was on a few acquisition committees and font size was normally on our checklist. What about licensing, is that ok? I'm not familiar with licensing but why don't you use the 3.0 [2]? [2] http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ will take a look, :-) Thus far, all of our marketing docs have been Creative Commons license.

[...] [1] Not really sure if that's the intended audience – but to me it seems so, as power users would probably rather alter behaviour by installing extensions than doing fancy things with their toolbar background. I realise, I could be totally wrong here, though. I also think that power users won't give a damn about that persona thingy and that the others won't even know it exists and if they do, won't use it either. Since the idea has been introduced, I stood silent because, well, this is a thing of these days and I first fell rather ol'timer. Still, my questions are these: do we *need* that functionality? What does it brings WRT software use? Wouldn't the devs be better employed fixing bugs rather than developing one more (useless?) functionality which would in turn bring more bugs? *Who* would use the personas apart from marketers? BTW, I don't know anyone around me using Firefox and personas. I don't want to rain on the party but my POV is that TDF shouldn't go that route at this moment because the usage/cost ratio seems very low to me. Strange, where I teach, and where personas are available, my 240 kids in French classes ALL tailor their versions of FF and Chrome to what they want, they also exchange between each other information about the looks and feel of their software including their desktop looks and wallpapers. I agree with you that with professional people personas may take a back seat to functionality, but to the other larger group who use our software and the younger set, functionality includes the look and feel of their software as if defines them ... no matter how shallow a function you may think it is. A Lada may get us from point A to B ... but most people would prefer to get a hot looking car than a square box with 4 wheels to cart them around. Software functionality does include the look and feel otherwise we would not be adding any color to our brand and just go for black and white and save on toner cartridge cost ... and hey ... let's all just get B/W monitors. I don't know, but I also don't want to rain on your party either, by my POV is that the TDF should go this route as it adds to the popularity as well as gives us a larger usage base for our community product. This is a good functionality to add to the product.

The conference vote is being done with the membership. Perhaps an idea is for the design team regulars to pick one or two or ... designs that they approve and the membership finish off.

[libreoffice-design] Updating our Gallery of Marketing and Design Resources wiki page
Just an FYI The next couple of weeks or so, I will be adding marketing sample resources that we have been collecting on our wiki pages but not catalogued to our Gallery of Marketing and Design Resources wiki page[1]. This will make it easier for the marketing team to find materials such as samples of 3-fold brochures, 3x5 postcards, reference cards etc. in order to help prepare conference booths. It will also be easier for us to pick through the samples and update the text to our latest version of LibreOffice. There is no point in re-inventing materials that have already been designed/formatted and where the text is the only thing that needs to change. The only problem that I foresee is making sure that past designs respect the rules attached to our logo and colors, which, I will try to watch our for. If any design does not respect our logo/colour rules (but has already been used in marketing materials), I will make a note of it when I link it and either try to correct the problem or ask for help from the design team. Unless there are any objections to this, I will just go ahead and fill these in.

Hi everyone, Just to clarify. We are really looking for your team's wishlist and it must be of budgetary consideration. This is not a wishlist for new UX-designs, new logos etc. The wishlist should really be discussed with your other team members so that we can get a better view of the needs of the different LibreOffice teams. For example: website team is looking at infrastructure (big and small); the marketing team is discussing the possibility of Booth kits to be deployed/shipped to areas/regions where conference materials are in desperate need. Leave me a message on this thread is you have any questions. Please do not send me your personal wishlists; I will go around and collect the wishlists from your list/thread later or as I see your discussions and decisions are made.

Power users have long understood that the keyboard is a tool of productivity. Thus, they use keyboard shortcuts widely. As Word and Writer have different sets of shortcuts (at least they had when I left MS-Word alone, a long time ago), it could be an interesting work to port the Word shortcuts into Writer. We could then offer an easy transition that would fill a big gap for these people, helping them to switch tools more quickly. What do you think? Do I miss something? IIRC we already have some configuration option for Excel-compatible shortcuts in Calc. We could do the same with Word/Writer... but a list of the shortcuts to implement will be needed as I am no Word power-user ;) -- Cedric We had discussed this quite a while ago on the Marketing Team and Ron Faile JR had developed a series of reference cards that could be adapted for this. In fact we did adapt some of these for different booth purposes. When the end product is folded it is formed into a triangular prism that can sit on a desk in front of the keyboard. Have a look here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Reference_Cards The reference cards may need checking as they were designed for LibreOffice 3.3 and they still need to be adapted for A4 paper stock. I still have one on my desk and the people I sent it to (educators who tried it with students) said that it was well received by both groups. It is really cool.

[libreoffice-design] Forums Proposal
There is a forums proposal on the discuss list[1] and on it we have proposed a forum category for this list[2]. There are 2 major sections to the LibreOffice Forums, there is a User forums section and a Contributor forums section. The contributor section of the website is where serious contributor work gets done for the project -- a clear distinction from the user section which is there to help users in need. The contributor forums mirror those of the mailing lists and these are to give the option to those mailing lists who would prefer to use the forums instead of mailing lists or would like to test the members' response to a possible move to the forums. * Note that both sections will be open to public; we are hoping that this will help promote the contributor side of LibreOffice and to encourage those who are interested to move to contributor teams. We are hoping to hear from a lead in this list (after discussion with your members) as to whether you would like to: * move the list to a forum (there would be a short transitional period where the mailing list/forums would exist together and then the mailing list would be closed. OR * not use the forums at all (at which point the forum would be deleted from the forums site). OR * test-try using both the forum and this mailing list for a period of time after which you would decide on which one to keep. A test-period of perhaps 6-9 months may be enough to accomplish this. Feel free to respond on this thread or to any of the co-coordinators should you have any questions.

[libreoffice-design] LibreOffice Forums Categories Proposal
FYI, there is a post on the discussion list regarding a LibreOffice forums categories proposal. As you may or may not know, we are readying a forums solution for LibreOffice users and contributors (for those lists who wish to have a forums of their own; or, for those lists who are unsure and would like to try out a forums for a while alongside their mailing list). In order to keep the noise down in the lists, I have posted the proposal on the discuss list without including the mailing lists in the address part of the email. Keep in mind that this is a proposal, thus, changes will be made to the forums where there is consensus. We would like to keep the main discussion of this topic on the discussion list as well as make any decision regarding changes from feedback on the discussion list. Feel free to join in on the discussion or to contact any of the LibreOffice co-coordinators if you have any questions. You can find the proposal as well as useful links here [http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/msg08990.html].

[libreoffice-design] Re: Font wishlist
Hi Stefan, Le 2012-08-16 19:02, Stefan Knorr a écrit : Unfortunately, the Comic Sans font is very popular in primary/secondary schools (Canada). It would be nice if there were a comparable/compatible font included with LibreOffice for students who use Comic. Maybe TSCu_Comic? So, I don't have anything against a comic-y font. I just wanted to point out that Comic Sans specifically is a rather amateurish affair. As to TSCu_Comic: While it isn't as worn as Comic Sans, it doesn't look like a high quality font either – additionally, the glyph set is basically just Ascii. My worry with all of this is of losing sight of what LibreOffice is trying to achieve ... some form of compatibility with MSO 2007 files. There should be fonts that are compatible with the stock fonts supplied by MSO so that users/corporate users who migrate from MSO to the LibreOffice suite are not served with documents that vary wildly from their previous MSO documents. You can get the official list of MSO fonts from the Microsoft site[1]. At the very least, these should be covered so that font compatibility during document migration is as near to perfect as possible. If the number of fonts gets excessive, then we could perhaps offer some fonts with the download version of LibreOffice (compatible with the Home-Student edition version fonts) and direct users to the LibreOffice extensions site where a complete set of compatible set of MSO fonts could be found. As for the Comic Sans font, it would be nice to find a compatible font for LibreOffice as I see it used in classroom settings.

Hi Adolfo, Le 2012-08-15 11:10, Adolfo Jayme Barrientos a écrit : The Design team doesn't even use Vegur for LibreOffice logos (LibO Conference set in some Helvetica clone, for example...) Italo's right: the limited character set in Vegur makes it unsuitable fo shipping, because it cannot be used for writing in languages other than English. That's why I don't undestand why Vegur was even chosen for branding. And anyway Vegur's a Myriad rip-off... You can find the reason as well as branding guidelines for the Vegur font on our design wiki page[1]. I would also not favour adding the Vegur font. There is very little use for it due to its missing characters. --- Stefan Knorr says: Please look for professional-looking fonts, we probably don't want to bundle something that looks as amateurishly done (kerned for instance) as Comic Sans.

[libreoffice-design] Re: New gallery art
Hi Steve et al, Le 2012-08-08 17:52, Steve Edmonds a écrit : Hi. one place this may have significance is the educational sector. School kids are always using clip art from the gallery and lack of clip art availability would be a decision point in our kids school. So as not to restrict inroads into schools I think that addition of clipart to the gallery should be easy and obvious and not require administrator privileges (it won't happen if every click needs the IT administrator). The bullets, backgrounds and rulers could then be part of the one click clipart install. Steve +1 Not having a stock gallery will definitely make a difference in the educational sector. We usually use this to teach our younger students the steps to insert graphics into their work whether in Word (Writer) or PowerPoint (Impress). I would hate to see this disappear as it does hold some value in our schools and is still a marketable asset for the educational sector -- an important sector that we, LibreOffice, want to break into. Maybe make it into a stock extension where it would disappear from the downloaded version but available as an extension (maintained by LibreOffice)? Would this be possible? BTW ... one of the best used extension that I previously used with OOo was the one that installed clipart from the OpenClipArt project[1]. When I took my laptop to work, the teachers would always comment positively at the cliparts in the gallery.

[libreoffice-design] Re: [Buttons] Creating/Improving LibreOffice web banners/buttons for external website use
I was about to nudge the list to see if anything could to be done about creating buttons and notice that KJ has added some samples on the wiki page[1]. Here are my impressions: * 88x15 and 88x31 -- nice designs. The problem I see with these is that I don't think the TDF/LibreOffice page icon is yet well known enough. Could we see LibreOffice there instead of the page icon? Or, actually, could you leave these buttons there and have another set without the page icon but with LibreOffice (in LibreOffice green)? 110x32 -- could you re-size the 88x31 to this size? The rest of the sizes are great! They are really banner size once they get to this size, but nice to have. I like the 728x90 that offers different colours for use on external website where colour is a concern, but, IMO, we should not stray too far from our iconic LibreOffice green+scatter+page icon elements; this is what really sets us apart from the look'n'feel of other office suite icons. QR codes! Thanks! These will really come in useful for marketing purposes. Works great! Once these are done, could they be put up to a vote and then then listed on the official design resources page[2]? Once they are listed on the official resources page, I'll see about getting the buttons setup for hosting on our servers and start advertising the fact that we now have buttons for external site use. Thanks a lot for the help.
