Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Discussion about Marketing Plan
Hi Italo, Italo Vignoli wrote: Sure, a request would have helped, instead of no one showing up for 90 minutes. I have been rather flexible with the discussion, but it looks like now that we have a place for a constructive approach people have issues, while they were extremely vocal with a destructive approach. I hope to see some improvements in the next couple of weeks. I think we all face challenging times, with new lockdowns announced in various countries and the hard winter months coming. That's surely not the explanation for everything, but I see myself how low the energy level can be - people might need more time to join a meeting, so let's continue the options you offered, thanks a lot for doing that! Should there be the need for different times due to timezones, happy to hear it here, so we can arrange something with the various team members to also cover that.

[libreoffice-marketing] 2016 budget proposals
Dear community, the year 2015 is over, and we have achieved a lot of exciting things, thanks to your amazing work, dedication, passion and support - thank you so much for being part of our community and working with us on the joint goal of fostering LibreOffice! In order to support the community even better, we would like to create a better budgetting process, have a concrete plan for 2016 already now, with a few "pools" or "buckets" defined, ideally: 1. community events (aimed at getting face-time for community contributors) 2. infrastructure (e.g. compute power/hardware/storage, cloud, VMs), 3. marketing (aimed at representing the project to the outside world) 4. other (anything that does not fit into the above) The idea is to have a good plan for 2016 already now, while keeping the administrative overhead low, and have two authorizers (one of them being a board member or deputy, the other one from the wider community) responsible for each budget, which means getting receipts, approving and tracking expenses, and clarifying questions with Florian or Sophie. To get a better understanding of your needs, we ask you to send us your budget requests within *three weeks* from this e-mail, i.e. by 2016-03-02 to flo...@documentfoundation.org While I monitor some of the lists, please always send your proposals/requests *directly* to me so they are not lost! Please let us know your requests for funds *alongside* some items you envision to be paid from these funds. The items are not binding, the spending in the end is the responsibility of the authorizers, but some examples help the board in getting a better understanding of the funds required to best match your needs. If possible, please also mention the amount of travel costs associated. We'll factor in some margin, but concrete numbers and ideas are very much welcome to have a plan for 2016. As a sample, a request could look like this: ## We'd like to request a 2016 budget of 1000 € for community events 500 € for infrastructure 1500 € for marketing Expenses we envision are 1. marketing: attendance at XYZ trade show to show LibreOffice to ABC user group (700 € booth costs, 300 € for collaterals and 500 € of travel, totalling to 1500 €), 2. community: a community weekend to discuss tasks and ideas (600 € hotel, 100 € for snacks and 300 € travel, totalling to 1000 €), 3. infrastructure: dedicated server to QA localized versions (500 €) ## Alongside that, we will also provide some mechanism in Redmine for approvals and tracking of expenses, and will follow-up with details on this later on. Thanks again for all your work, and looking forward to your proposals!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Working with RedMine
Hi, Charles-H. Schulz wrote on 2014-10-29 at 10:29: hum... Several things here, let me take them on in a more logical order: maybe a few thoughts from my POV, not so much marketing-related per se, but related to infra, and related to me being the one proposing Redmine together with Alex co. in first place :) Redmine is fantastic for tracking tasks, and indeed, in these terms can extend mailing lists excellent. For discussions, I'd rather stick with the lists, with pointers to the tickets appreciated. Sometimes it's helpful to also add a comment to the ticket as well as to the list, but I guess we'll find that out how much double posts make sense - I guess that summaries/decisions make sense in the ticket, individual discussions not so much. As for what Redmine provides, I love the idea of having everything integrated within one tool. For some things, Redmine simply was put online too late - we now have ownCloud for a public file store. For others, while Redmine provides the basic tool, it's not extensive enough - I cannot imagine dropping MediaWiki with all its plugins and features in favor of the rather simple Redmine-integrated wiki. Still, I we should think about merging tools - I e.g. can imagine folding the public ownCloud into Redmine for the sake of having less tools, and as only the file store is used for ownCloud. For the internal ownCloud, with its CalDAV and CardDAV, that'll be harder, Redmine doesn't provide a replacement. Hope that helps a bit!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] conference planning tool
Hi, Christian Lohmaier wrote on 2014-10-17 at 13:38: one of the items discussed in Bern was to set-up a conference planning tool. What's the deadline for a testing/proofing phase? for me personally, there is none. I am not even sure whether we can have this for the 2015 conference, as planning will start already soon - but let's see. As the post was ~a month ago, time already to collect the proposals and start with trying them out? Or do people have more proposals? I guess we should test it out independent from the 2015 conference - if we can manage it, switching for the planning to the tool is fine, but otherwise let's aim for the 2016 conference then if we need more time. Helpful would be if some volunteers could have a look at the individual systems and give their feedback what they liked and disliked - ideally done by people who have experience with conference planning and organizing. ;-) For you personally, I assume you are buried in work already. :-) Thanks a lot for the summary, really appreciated!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Working with RedMine
Hi, just briefly on two topics, as I'm rather swamped these days: I'm glad the projects use Redmine and find it useful, that's great! What we should take care of is that everything that is product related should _not_ go into Redmine. For the design team, without knowing the concrete workflow, as an example: Iterations of designs can be handled in Redmine, but the issue to change icons in LibO should be in Bugzilla then. Charles-H. Schulz wrote on 2014-09-17 at 16:47: The suggestion for the experiment is to stop using the public marketing list completely for one month, and to rely on the Issue tracker of RedMine meanwhile. The main idea here is to move our activities entirely I personally strongly suggest no _not_ close the mailing list or temporarily avoid using it. At least some pointers on the mailing lists are desired. new wiki. I'm not suggesting that we open twenty new wiki pages on RedMine tomorrow, but that we use it for a month if we need it. I propose to, for wiki pages, stick with Mediawiki, so we have one tool for the task. :) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-marketing] conference planning tool
Hello, one of the items discussed in Bern was to set-up a conference planning tool. Last time I checked (a few years ago), everything was a big mess, and every organizer was hacking their favorite tool to an extend that made re-use and/or upgrading impossible. ;-) Feedback from this years' conference organizers was also that such a tool is missing. Basic features needed are call for papers, registration of participants and speakers, and an easy (!) scheduling. I think of something similar that schools use for planning their schedules - you add some dependencies and limitations, and then a few proposals are made. Before thinking about coming up with our own solution, we should check what existing tools are on the market, or if other projects are working on that (I heard rumors that other FLOSS projects are already funding efforts here). If someone has more insight than I have, or volunteers to have a look, that'd be great! :-) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-marketing] LinuxTag impressions
Hello everyone, just being back from a fantastic LinuxTag in Berlin, I wanted to share my impressions with you. LinuxTag is one of the major events about Linux, free and open source software in Europe, and has for years already been one of the most important trade shows for the German community. After having taken place at the Berlin fairgrounds for the last six years or so, in 2014 it was held in a new venue, an old postal railway station called Station. It took place in parallel to the Droidcon, and shared one day with re:publica. LibreOffice was present with a booth, and Italo Vignoli and Andreas Mantke each had a talk, respectively a workshop. The audience at the booth was great, and lots of good talks and meetings with a very overall positive feedback. Besides sponsoring the lanyards for the event, so nearly every visitor had a LibreOffice logo around their neck :-) we also had quite a chunk of balloons that we handed out to the visitors. Here's a picture of parts of our booth staff: https://twitter.com/floeff/status/464697516051955712 We even made it onto one picture at Heise, showing our guerilla marketing troop ;-) http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/LinuxTag-2014-2185386.html (watch out for the green folks at picture #7) Thanks to everyone who attended, it was a pleasure being there, and we definitely look forward to next year's LinuxTag!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] low turnout on chat sessions
Hi, Charles-H. Schulz wrote on 2014-04-14 13:51: I have not tried it but I really think it may be part of the answer to the issue. I'll let the list know about my impressions. IMHO, even if it's more work for the moderator, combining various media is best - some dislike phone, some dislike IRC, some want to use Hangouts. If those can be combined, e.g. by connecting phone and Hangouts, and someone reading IRC feedback to the phone line, it might yield more attention. Not sure if that is worth the efforts, though... As for advertising the session on the social networks, I must admit I have mixed feelings about it. The session should appeal to active members of the community, people all around the world who engage into specific activities on LibreOffice. Would social networks only attract curious people more than actual contributors? That is my fear, but perhaps there are other opinions on this? Given participation is so scarce, I'd give it a try, and if it doesn't work out, let's not do it again for next time :) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-marketing] CeBIT 2014 impressions
CeBIT 2014: the community presenting itself in Hannover March is usually one of the busiest months of the year, at least for those of us located in Germany. Quite a chunk of events in parallel - CeBIT in Hannover, Linux-Infotag in Augsburg, and Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, to name a few - mark the beginning of the trade show season. While it has agreeably sized down the past years, CeBIT still is the major event to attend and to present ourselves. Thanks to the organization of especially Thomas Krumbein from Freies Office Deutschland e.V., we once again had a beautiful, shared booth, about 16 m² in size, where also FrODeV and Collabora presented themselves. Thanks to Thomas' experience, everything was extremely well prepared - flyers, brochures, flags, we even had a green floor and green LibreOffice balloons! CeBIT hash a rather mixed audience. While every year the trade show organizers claim more business people - it feels as it should be about 180% already... - there are also quite a few private end-users, students and students around. Talks at CeBIT are usually very worthy, and we even got to know about one rather large migration project going on at a pretty known corporation, which has not been made public yet. Plus, not to forget, many people stop by to congratulate and thank us for all the work we do, and showing us their appreciation for LibreOffice. LibreOffice was also represented at the Special Conference Open Source, as they call it, a public forum with talks and lectures around open source, open standards and free software, which is organized by Medialinx (formerly Linux New Media). Italo gave a talk about Migrating to LibreOffice: a Reference Protocol, and I explained the legal setup of TDF, with its boards and bodies, which was received very well. As usual, we shared a private appartment - something that is quite common at CeBIT, where regular hotels can easily cost a few hundred € per night (!), as essentially all Hannover is prepared for the major event of the year. Even if that saved us a lot of costs, CeBIT still is one of the more expensive trade shows, not only owed due to its length (it lasts from Monday to Friday, used to be even longer in the past), but also due to the high costs of building a booth, renting a space, and of course getting people in to Hannover. In comparison to other events, there are only a few free project spaces available, and those are too small for us, so I am happy Thomas took over the burden to plan and organize the booth for us. Still, being there is a must, to see others, and of course, to be seen. Talks to potential adopters yield a wide interest in LibreOffice, with rather concrete questions asked, and good contacts are made - so I am very much looking forward to CeBIT 2015!

Hi, Zeki Bildirici wrote on 2013-11-28 23:12: @Florian and @Charles, If TDF and LibreOffice are seperate identities, one is the foundation the other is the product, keeping @tdforg for foundation announcements, pr of the foundation,donations and other campaings will be good. On the other hand after activating @LibreOffice account it will quickly gain followers, and 8K should not be a big deal. I feel that it has a great potential and will easily have more than 15K followers as it holds the official brand's name. If we promote it from our libreoffice.org homepage/download section etc it can grow further. I am fine with that, of course. I propose the marketing group comes up with a proposal what to post where and how to handle the transition phase, and then maybe start using both accounts (not only on Twitter, but also on Facebook and Google+) in 2014. Also we can verificate @tdforg and @LibreOffice accounts in near future as they are known brand and organization: http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/111-features/articles/119135-about-verified-accounts# Do you know if there's an option to manually ask for validation, or do we have to wait until Twitter approaches us?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: CeBIT
Hi, Marc Paré wrote on 2013-10-28 03:11: I think we should think of it strategically. If MS is there with a booth, we should also be there with a booth, and, we should also be highlighting interoperability and any other advantages that LibreOffice has over MSOffice. We also need to shore up our marketing strategy on using LibreOffice on corporate clouds with running cloud/CMIS examples at the booths. Make sure the booths are manned by competent LibreOffice team members for demonstrations as well as demonstrate the cloud setups. Finally, need to have solid marketing presence to counter any negative publicity (TCO etc.) put our by our competitor at CeBit (if any such publicity is put out). We need to show how our corporate structure is serious about code development, community involvement and product-market penetration. This should be combined with talks and some hint at upcoming code development for the project. I totally agree, which is why I raise this issue early. Spending 4k € for a booth like last year, but not many TDF people around, and not many collaterals, doesn't make sense. Jacqueline and Thomas have done a tremendous job for that, but TDF per se has failed (including myself, so excuse being so harsh with words here :-) While 7-10k € is a chunk of money, my personal take is this could be a wise investment, but _only_ if we prepare things accordingly and in time: materials, talks, people at the booth, and then also finding sponsors to cover parts of the cost. CeBIT is the place to meet especially business users and to be there, to be seen, which is an opportunity we shouldn't let pass. Of course, we can also go with just a few people attending and giving talks, no booths - depends on what impact we want to pay for. :) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-marketing] CeBIT
Hello, I'd like to bring your attention to next year's CeBIT in Hannover. CeBIT is amongst the longest and most important trade shows, at least in Europe, and we have been there ever since, mostly due to the laudable efforts of Jacqueline and Thomas. It takes place early March and lasts (IMHO) 5 days. Given the international recognition and audience of CeBIT, it definitely makes sense to represent TDF internationally here, should we attend, e.g. by having people join for one or two days from the various at least European countries we are active in, and be present with talks. Thomas Krumbein from FrODeV kindly checked prices and conditions, and is willing to organize CeBIT and staff the booth for the full week (but of course, more than just one person is needed, see above). The drawback of CeBIT is the high costs, ranging around 7-10k € for the booth and booth rental, for about 12 m². While there are surely options of having a smaller booth, those don't make much sense - I'd rather prefer to not exhibit there, or to solely send in talk proposals, than joining at a small booth nobody looks at. Last year, we paid about 4k € or so, but feedback was that by not having an individual booth, our recognition was rather low. How do people generally feel about attending CeBIT and the associated costs? Is this something we should look forward into planning, and start looking for sponsors to cover parts of the cost, or shall we go for a different approach?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] CeBIT
Hi, Charles-H. Schulz wrote on 2013-10-25 16:24: I think that if we indeed put the question of the costs next to whether we want to attend this event, then the real question is: what are we looking to achieve? If it's mere presence, then few people won't notice us like last year but that can still be helpful. Maybe we are looking so, I think if we attend, we clearly should bring more TDF people on place. Like having you, Italo, me, and some other folks from Europe for one or two days, also with sending in talk proposals, makes a lot of sense. I might be biased, but to me, attending CeBIT is rather important to be seen - it still is the largest IT event at least in Europe, if not worldwide. However, finding some sponsors to lower the costs definitely is worth looking into...

It would be nice if there were videos done at the next conference and avoid some of the problems we had at last year's conference. I am not sure if there was a BoD debriefing session after last year's conference. agreeably, we didn't have that much luck with videos during the last years. In 2012, we went with a professional video producer form university, including a professor for media-related studies, but still, we ran into issues - I guess c'est la vie. :-) The problem is that you usually have to take local companies, as flying in externals from other countries doesn't make that much sense economically. The best you can usually do is to trust those who are in charge and make that for a living, but sometimes it can fail as well. I don't know what recommendation I could give other than that, which is the way we did it for 2012, with the outcome you have seen... Photo related problems, perhaps it would be best to have a designated photographer for the conference whose ONLY purpose would be to go around, take photos along with the disclaimer agreements from the people in the shots. That way, we would no longer have to rely on people's generosity for photo shots at our conferences. The sheer amount of pictures is alright, the quality as well, however, I agree that a designated photographer knows better what is allowed and what not, and only produces pictures we can publish without reviewing. This is by far not a theoretical problem - I recall people who wrote to us after the conference stating that any individual picture of them might NOT be shown, so...

[libreoffice-marketing] LibOCon videos
Hello, I have good news to all of you, finally - the videos from last year's LibreOffice Conference have been cut and put online by the company in charge of the recordings. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen technical difficulties, it took much longer than anticipated, and in the end, they had to hand-cut and lipsync videos and slides, which took an incredible amount of time, explaining the huge delay. I am currently evaluating the technical options of hosting those videos together with their special player on our own infrastructure, and expect to finally have the files online on our servers soon, available to the general public. You are probably aware that all the slides have already been available since last November or so at http://conference.libreoffice.org/talks/ Again, sorry for this massive delay. As to pictures, we have provided technical facilities for uploading them, and many people made us of these. However, as sometimes it was a weird mixture of publishable and unpublishable, public and private pictures, and so far, no volunteer for reviewing them has shown up, they are not online. Hopefully the videos can compensate that a bit. ;-) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

That seems a rather closed approach. that's a technical limitation due to the recording technology. The slides have been added and synced with the videos, and that can only be properly played with their player software.

[libreoffice-marketing] Seeking for list moderators
Hello, at the moment, we are looking for volunteers who could help moderate this mailing list. If you are interested, the only requirement is that you are subscribed to the list yourself and read its mails in a somehow timely manner, but that's about it. Moderation means dealing with e-mails that do not automatically make it to the list, which you then manually forward, or reject. This happens either when an e-mail comes from an unknown sender, e.g. when a project member uses a different address for posting. It also occurs when someone unexperienced writes to the list, thinking it's a private account, but in fact it's a public list. You'll receive the message to be moderated via e-mail, which you then can either moderate through, or reject. Is someone interested in joining our efforts? It'd be much appreciated - just drop me an email (please also copy me directly, and not only the list), then I'm happy to add you to the list of moderators. Thanks!

[libreoffice-marketing] Fostering project internal communication
Hello, sorry for spamming all the lists, but in the light of recent events and discussions, I'd like to make all of you aware of an important mailing list, that so far has not been used as extensively as it should be, which led to some frustration and communication issues. As part of our mission to foster the project internal communication, I'd like to tell you about our so called projects mailing list, which Sophie initiated quite a while ago, and which should be used for communication amongst the various projects - e.g. design and marketing, development and marketing, UX and development, and the like. The list's intention is not to be a gossip list where everything should be thrown at, but to make all affected projects aware of important changes. Philosophy: Low traffic, but important topics. Some examples are: Change of version numbers, a new slogan, design changes, new products. In other words: Everything that has an impact on other areas of working than the one where the change originally comes from. If one team decides LibreOffice will now be called different, and has a shiny new colour, surely marketing should know in time. Well, a bit of a made up example, but you get the point... ;-) We have seen some unpleasant events in the past, that based on my experience, are mostly due to the lack of communication, or due to miscommunication. To avoid that in the future, I'd like to call out to everyone of you, if you are active in one of the subprojects, to also join this mailing list by sending an empty e-mail to projects+subscr...@global.libreoffice.org and following the instructions mailed back. At least one or two representatives from *each* project should join this list, to act as a gateway. I will soon follow up further with some details and topics that have reached me the past weeks, and how we could solve them. Again, sorry for spamming, and have a great weekend!
