Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing leadership and Markeing Wiki and US Wiki
Marc Paré wrote: Could we establish between ourselves who will take the lead as far as representing the marketing group? IMHO, I believe that one or two individuals (I prefer 2 individuals) should be elected to take the lead as the marketing spokesperson. We will have to report back to the SC from time to time on the direction/use/ ... of the marketing group. I think that we should discuss this so that we can move on with a well coordinated strategy. Florian and myself are the two members of the SC handling marketing and communications, and we are both subscribers of this mailing list (I am also subscribed to the US marketing list, having been for a very long time a supporter of geography based marketing for the community). Although we don't actively take part in every thread, we follow most of them. So, the SC is in the marketing mailing list since day one. The second area that we should be organising is the Wiki. It now has the birthday icons on the front page. Could we ask that our leadership identify the individuals in the marketing team be the only people allowed to change the Marketing Wiki and any sub-pages? Our leads should also have the ability to lock-down any pages when this is required. We will also have to organise the US Marketing Wiki (as a sub-category) or the main Marketing Wiki with similar permissions although making the editing and lock-down priviliges only to the US Marketing members. We will need these tool to work more effectively on marketing strategies. I will try to summarize the marketing activities that we have discussed within the SC, and the communications plan. They are both open to improvements and contributions. -- Italo Vignoli Mobile: +39.348.5653829 - VoIP: +39.02.320621813 Email: italo.vign...@gmail.com - Skype: italovignoli -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibO in Education (JK-High School and NOT post grad. university/college)
Le 2010-10-20 12:40, James Walker a écrit : You know, my biggest thought is that if we want to get LibO into a more widespread acceptance then we have to get into the Schools. You tend to stick with what you learn first and that should be our number 1 goal. James I agree totally. I am also a piano tuner by trade and have worked at many universities. One of the marketing techniques that piano firms use it selling at deep discount to school systems and universities. The students get used to the brand and they tend to stick to the brand once they purchase a personal piano. By some respects, Steinway had done the same thing in the US and it has helped to keep the Steinway brand alive and popular in many regions of the US. Yamaha has used the same technique and has penetrated the Canadian educational system quite deeply (not too sure about US ). The same could be said for Apple and its marketing techniques in both US and Canadian educational systems. If one of our marketing techniques could concentrate on the educational system, then we could probably have the same kind of success. However, the biggest issue, in my experience, is that of IT and user level support. We would have to make sure that this is covered. I guess this should be discussed in the LibO in Education thread. I'll copy this to that thread.

What I have seen so far in Mendeley http://www.mendeley.com/ (which also supossedly works with Zotero) looks really promising as a concept. It integrates with OOo already and has a cloud for your articles, so that you can access your research library from anywhere in cyberspace, and various management features. That's the kind of thing that is needed.

How would you see in integrated better into LibO? How would you have it working ideally in the present menu(s), document writing etc.? Would you have any wishes other than you mentioned already?
