[libreoffice-marketing] Event report: Kyushu LibreOffice meetup
Hello mates, Here is a short report of Kyushu LibreOffice meetup 2018 on Dec. 9 (Sun). - We had two goals of this meetup; (a) let Japanese NLP members apply to TDF membership, (b) make a relationship between the east-Asian LibO communities stronger - This meetup gathered 18 attendees, including 7 Japanese NLP members - We invited Franklin Weng from Taiwan and our BoD, and DaeHyun Sung from Korea. And Shinji Enoki took three internship students from different African countries. So we can say this meetup was quite internationalized ;) - Franklin gave us a talk about TDF history, benefits to becoming a member, and donations. After that, four candidates in Japan (more precisely, all Japanese NLP members who aren't TDF members) had applied to TDF membership. - We discussed LibreOffice marketing specifically in the Japanese market. Franklin kindly shared some topics from Taiwan and global discussion. In Taiwan they use SNS (such as Facebook) well, so we could follow them. Continuous and interesting post is needed. - DaeHyun told us HWP (Hangul Word Processor), Korean local word processor, and what improvements are needed for us to replace it in the Korean market (especially for public sectors) - Koutarou Watanabe told how to operate Base with LibO Basic macro. Although Base does not aim for access compatibility, users often compare with Access, and from this point of view, there were some missing features in Base. For example, importing from Calc is possible on a GUI basis, but there is no command can be executed by macro, Mr. Watanabe made the import macro by myself. He summarized that Base is one of the killer application of LibreOffice but need to brush it up, and this presentation might help it. - I believe both of our two goals has been achieved! :) Thanks to Franklin and DaeHyun for coming to our meetup and improve our discussion!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] A LibreOffice migration example in Japan
Hi Simon, 2015-04-03 4:43 GMT+09:00 Simon Phipps si...@webmink.com: Many thanks for sharing this! Has there been any media coverage of the migration? We, Japanese community, have gathered the organizations which use LibreOffice[1]. According the page, ITPro, the Japanese well-known web media for IT division, covered the news about their migration [2], and their manual publishing[3][4]. All pages are in Japanese (sorry), but some translation service (like google) helps you.

[libreoffice-marketing] A LibreOffice migration example in Japan
Hi, I want to share a good case study of LibreOffice Migration in Japan, and I hope here is a right place to do this. In Japan, we have some users, which migrated to LibreOffice as their primary office suite. The JA (Japan Agricultural) Fukuoka-city is one of the greatest examples of successful migration. Mr. Watanabe had been an IT manager of them, who had lead the migration to LibreOffice, and he is still passionate to LibreOffice community, as if he already left the position. Here is a great slide about the JA Fukuoka-city by Mr. Watanabe. I believe it's worth to read.

Hi *, Just short information from Japan. Tokushima prefecture[1][2], located Shikoku-island in Japan, published their own LibreOffice manuals[3] under CC BY 4.0 license. Here is the rough translation of their comment in the page [3]: - Tokushima prefecture utilizes LibreOffice as a fee-free usable office suite. We already created operation manuals for our employees to apply everyday works, and now we decided to publish them on our website to let residents know strength to use fee-free LibreOffice well.

They had not so many booth in there, but 5 session tracks run parallel. Yifan Jiang had a talk about LibreOffice but unfortunately I've missed (but he said I was lucky because that talk was in Chinese :). I brought some T-shirts from Japanese Team as gifts, it seemed nice to them. It's just an idea, but I hope we'll have a booth next year's summit :) I'll write some report in my blog[1].

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [EVENT] Kanto LibreOffice Hack-a-thon (Dec 21)
Hi, Sorry for off-topic. I want to add a short comment. RE: membership: It will be nice to have some of the Japanese teams become members. If you have any questions about membership, just leave a message on this list and someone will help you out. Now Mr. Enoki (who organize or attend most of all events in Japan, and had talk at this LibreOffice Conference in Milan) and I'll apply TDF membership.

[libreoffice-marketing] RE: LibreOffice branding and marketing
Hi everyone, This mail is a seed of discussion, from marketing professional. My fellow, Shinji Enoki, had met Mr. Chris Kruppa in the event Agile tour Osaka in Japan. Chris is a marketing specialist, and a LibreOffice user (great!). He gave us a very worth advice for us about our branding and marketing from his professional point of view. We, Japanese community want to share it all of you, and Chris allowed. Chris: Thanks! Please remind: Chris doesn't feed the list, so if you want tell some to Chris, please CC him (his address is in the mail). His advice is pasted as follows: --- Please see some feedback below for improving the brand. In general I can say, that Libre Office liberately oushes itself into a niche market, where it in my opinion doesn't need to be. This is a strategic decision, but I believe, but MS Office is not superior to Libre Office and therefore Libre Office can be also advertised to the mass market: - You can see this on the start page of Libre Office - Why do you say ...the community has waited. Everybody has waited for. Please consider, each pc or mac or linux user in the world needs an Office Suite. Libre Office is cheaper than MS Office, but offers nearly same functionality. Still it is only in the community. Maybe, there is a reason, but I would encourage users from all over. - I have seen on several occasions, that it is still called the Libre Office Project. Why? Libre Office just released version 4. This is a mature project and can be used without flaws. I would remove the project. Project sounds unfinished, not done yet, we are working on that, etc. - As you are trying to offer Libre Office for download and ask for developers on the same website, I believe, the community aspect is pretty strong for many visitors. And community aspect might give the impression to people, it is sloppy and not a good quality. Same as wikipedia: It is not really 100% accepted, because everybody can change it. That there is still a wonderful quality assurance system behind: Nobody sees. Libre Office might give in it's current form, the same impression. Why not separate the download of the stable version from the developer community. - Focus on two or three more strengths of LO over MSO besides being free - for example, you have a portable version. Isn't that great? How about setting the goal to build the first usable mobile word processor? Etc. Focus on features more, than on community and free aspect. - I do not know about your goals and your current numbers, so it is a bit hard to give more ideas, but I hope the above gives yo an idea. Maybe you could partner up with universities and schools, Android and MacOSX to promote it further. But maybe there are efforts as this already. Ok, that's it for the moment, would that help you? Was it, what you were looking for? I am happy to give a presentation (via skype) in front of some people, if you want - but I would need to know more about your goals, your vision and current strategy.

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: LibreOffice branding and marketing
Hi, I forgot to post my opinion... ;) Please see some feedback below for improving the brand. In general I can say, that Libre Office liberately oushes itself into a niche market, where it in my opinion doesn't need to be. This is a strategic decision, but I believe, but MS Office is not superior to Libre Office and therefore Libre Office can be also advertised to the mass market: Agreed. I use LibreOffice because not it's a cheap MS Office compatible, but greater than MS Office for me. - You can see this on the start page of Libre Office - Why do you say ...the community has waited. Everybody has waited for. Please consider, each pc or mac or linux user in the world needs an Office Suite. Libre Office is cheaper than MS Office, but offers nearly same functionality. Still it is only in the community. Maybe, there is a reason, but I would encourage users from all over. Hmm... I seem it's usual that the community includes users in FLOSS world, so the phrase such as ...the community has waited is not only for us, but also for everyone. I mean, it's a very important point to use LibreOffice; everyone can Use LibreOffice, and can send request functional enhancements, can report a bug, and can say their friends hey I use LibreOffice and it's awesome! Everything is contribution and everything is free for users. I believe the best way to use LibreOffice well is to make sense users can grow LibreOffice itself. It's a great right. Of course it's a RIGHT but a MANDATORY. I'm not a special about marketing, but we might be able to change some words for - I have seen on several occasions, that it is still called the Libre Office Project. Why? Libre Office just released version 4. This is a mature project and can be used without flaws. I would remove the project. Project sounds unfinished, not done yet, we are working on that, etc. For me it's good knowledge about English. I don't have such sense about the word project (because English is my mother tongue). Very common FLOSS already stable uses the word project such as: Apache web server: http://httpd.apache.org/ GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/ Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/en/ or many more. But some others not use the word project such as: Debian: http://www.debian.org/ And Firefox might be same (I can't see their English page in my environment; but in Japanese page, they don't use the word project. In my feeling LibreOffice released stable products but still running project, Both words are correct. It's a really marketing issue. - As you are trying to offer Libre Office for download and ask for developers on the same website, I believe, the community aspect is pretty strong for many visitors. And community aspect might give the impression to people, it is sloppy and not a good quality. Same as wikipedia: It is not really 100% accepted, because everybody can change it. That there is still a wonderful quality assurance system behind: Nobody sees. Libre Office might give in it's current form, the same impression. Why not separate the download of the stable version from the developer community. In my understanding, we don't have a classic-style quality assurance process; end users try a early-adopters version (currently 4.1.x) and file bugs, then QA team care which should be fixed or not. It's our QA system. (If I'm wrong please let me know). Of course users can choose a stable version (currently 4.0.x). But why it became stable? Because people use former unstable 4.0.x, filed bugs, QA team triaged them, and developers fixed them. It's our way. I don't have a good idea to separate unstable one and stable one with keeping current our QA process. - Focus on two or three more strengths of LO over MSO besides being free - for example, you have a portable version. Isn't that great? How about setting the goal to build the first usable mobile word processor? Etc. Focus on features more, than on community and free aspect. It's a really considerable comment. LibreOffice is a very community governed product so I don't know who can control such, but sounds good to focus some our key features. For example, LibreOffice portable is useful, but a little slow. If it's become much faster, it might be a our strength. - I do not know about your goals and your current numbers, so it is a bit hard to give more ideas, but I hope the above gives yo an idea. Maybe you could partner up with universities and schools, Android and MacOSX to promote it further. But maybe there are efforts as this already. Agreed. Someone already does, but in Japan, we need to do more :) Thanks again Chris, and everyone read this long long mail :) Regards, -- Naruhiko Ogasawara (naru...@gmail.com) -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [EVENT] Kanto LibreOffice Hack-a-thon (Dec 21)
Hi Marc, all, Please add this event at our official calendar. Done! Thanks! Could you add a short description in EN of all the 4 events below? I will add these to the events calendar. Information about whether you will have a LibreOffice booth or a LibreOffice table would also be great. * Kansai Open Forum 2013 (Osaka, 2013-11-08 to 2013-11-09) * Kyushu LibreOffice Study Party (2013-11-17) * Kanto LibreOffice Offline meeting (2013-11-18) * Open Source Conference 2014 Tokyo/Spring (2014-02-28 to 2014-03-01) I wrote general information in each page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/Japan and now I consider from which page should link it. Any idea? Add some detail about these: * Kansai Open Forum 2013 (Osaka, 2013-11-08 to 2013-11-09) We'll have a booth (give some stuff; leaflet, sticker and DVDs) and Mr. Enoki will have a talk about LibreOffice Conference 2013 Milan. * Kyushu LibreOffice Study Party (2013-11-17) We'll have a booth and I have a talk about LibreOffice product and community (localized version of slide SFD HK 2013 [1]. * Kanto LibreOffice Offline meeting (2013-11-18) Kanto LibreOffice Offline meeting is very casual event and we don't have strict schedule, but Mr. Onodera might have a talk about LibreOffice on NetBSD. * Open Source Conference 2014 Tokyo/Spring (2014-02-28 to 2014-03-01) It'll do little future so details are under discussion now, but we might have a booth and a talk.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice 4.1 under NetBSD 6
Hi, Thank you a lot, and next time, we should also spread the buzz before and make more noise for you guys, you rock! Yes, every time you organize an event, please let us know in advance. We can not only spread the news via social media networks, but also add a mention in one of our product announcements (which have a monthly cycle). If the news story is big enough, like a local conference about LibreOffice, we can have a specific press release. Thanks, and sorry for our fault to forget to notice this event (and also Software Freedom Day Hong Kong 2013; I've exhibited). OSC is Japanese local, but very major event (sometimes foreign people comes) so we should let you know. We, Japanese community will have an event this December, but I've written another mail.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice 4.1 under NetBSD 6
Hi, Congratulations to you and the japanese team! Next time we would be interested in communicating more about the events in Japan and to highlight them . Would you like us (this team here) and TDF to talk about this event? Thanks! I'll post the event report on my blog and let you know, hopefully near future (to me writing a long post is too tough work, but I'll make the best :). Short note: Open Source Conference (OSC) is a series of FLOSS events held in many cities in Japan. Year 2013, we already had 10 events in 9 cities (Tokyo has two events; Spring and Fall), and 2 events in Kyushu area are still remaining. Attendees are developers, community members, companies which has responsibility about FLOSS, and casual users. OSC Tokyo is biggest one. Last OSC Tokyo/Fall, last Saturday and Sunday, 1300 attendees come even if we had very bad weather on Sunday. We, LibreOffice Japanese Team exhibit most of all OSC in recent years, both a booth and lecture.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Events in Asia (Japan): Updated
Hi Marc, * I have added all the events to our international events calendar (even the ones that I missed! My apologies for having missed these -- I am not sure how I missed these as I watch the page for changes) Great! I'll check the calendar later (because now I've drunk too much :) BTW ... could I have permission to use the team photo of the mini-conference for the EN-internatioal donate site (on the PhotoShuffler image slideshow?) It would be nice to have a photo of the team on the rotation. The photo is on the mini-conference EN report[1]. Sure, of course yes!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice and The Document Foundation names in non-Latin languages
Hello from Japan, How do you handle with CocaCola, Samsung, Mc Donald's etc.? How do you handle with proper names? LibreOffice is a trademark and TheDocumentFoundation is a proper name. Even the Japanese, Korean, Chinese write the international company's names in latin [1], [2]. Yes, we, Japanese use LibreOffice name in latin characters. But some Japanese media hava a rule to use in Katakana, phonogramic character, so we have to write リブレオフィス. It's a special case. Basically Libre is not so famous word in our company, so we sometimes need to describe Libre means freedom (in Japanese, 自由) but we don't translate the LibreOffice name itself because it's a proper name.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Official Mascot
Hi, Sorry for everyone to careless, no-goggling my post on Facebook.

[libreoffice-marketing] The video for LibreOffice miniconf Tokyo
Hi, I changed the subject of the mail to make clear what we're talking about. Anyway, May I ask when we'll get the video for our miniconf? Someone already have it taken in FOSDEM, right? Our miniconf will be held 23th Feb. JST, so I want to use this weekend to prepare the event, for example, adding Japanese caption on the video.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Japanese page on FB
Hi Italo, We will produce the video at FOSDEM in Brussels, so we will make it of the length most appropriate for your needs. Great! It must be a really nice gift for our community. Hmm... 5 minutes enough I think because our miniconf will have too tight scheduled track (little sad, but it will be just first step). And if possible, could you give me a transcript of the video with itself? It will help us to create Japanese caption on it.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Japanese page on FB
Hi,
Three other that I was wondering about:
==
I was on the wiki events pages and notice that the dates for the LinuxCon
Japan 2013 in Tokyo are wrong[1]. The LinuxCon Japan website says the dates
are 29-31 May. You may want to correct this on the JA events section.
Thanks to let me know. It's totally my fault. I fixed it now.
==
I have added the LinuxCon Japan 2013 to the events calendar[2]. If there
will be a LibreOffice booth or representation, could I also add you as the
contact person for this event? If, for now, you do not know if anyone will
represent LibreOffice, I will just post that the plans are pending.
Alright. Pending to post is good judgement I think. Thanks.
Right now, I want to send cfp about next free end-users computing
not only desktop but also mobile, tablet, ... I might touch about LibreOffice
maybe, but I'm not sure the program committee will accepts or not.
And also I hope some marketing ppl also send cfp about LibreOffice for the
event, but currently it's not fixed.
But still I want to keep the event in Wiki page because I want to see you
LibreOffice guys in the conference. Can I?
==
BTW ... I also corrected the menu line on the JA wiki page[3] by adding the
following wikitext to the top of the ja wiki page:
{{TopMenu/ja}} {{Menu/ja}}{{Lang}}
Please note that you can also change your page title by just adding it to
the {{Lang}} part, just like this: {{Lang|This is my new page title}}
Let me know if you need any help with this. (Please note that previous to
the change, the wiki page just had {{Lang}} at the top of the page).
Thank you for correcting my mistake, however, I can't found out link [3]
in your mail. Which page you corrected? Please let me know.
Sorry to spend your time and thanks again,
--

BTW, if you do have an event, feel free to ask on this list if any developer presenters or any marketing presenters (such as Italo or Charles or ...) would be available to visit/speak at your events. They may have time to fly out to speak at a event/conference. Alright. Right now our community is growing but not strong enough to host our own international event, but in the (near, I hope) future, we may ask someone visit to Japan and talk for Japanese LibreOffice fan :) BTW, I checked the JA events wiki page, the first two events, in the comments column, the links do not lead to a wiki page -- there is an extra character at the end or your link on the wiki page that you should remove to make the weblink work. Very sorry, I've mistaken. Already fixed. Check the page please. And also I made a English wiki page about our first whole-day conference: [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/LibOCon_mini_JP Yes it is Japanese local event and every sessions will have in Japanese, but it is a symbolic event for us, and a good opportunity to let people know our activities. I added the link in JA event wiki page to the page[1]. I will put these on the event calendar once the weblinks are fixed. Let me know if you need help fixing these. It's a time now, could you please put them on the calendar?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi, I might be available for handling this, but I would like to understand if a simple session is enough or we should apply for a workshop, or a session plus a workshop (which could be in another location). I think a simple session is enough. LinuxCon (not only Japan, also EU, NA and Brasil) is technical event but most of attendees are Linux developers, they are not familiar about desktop world technically. Because the event is marketing opportunity for us. So they might have interest success stories of our project, MSO migrate examples, eco systems, why most of Linux distros stands our side, ... For example, the session The state of the project in LibOCon is good, but need to update and little modification for outside of LibreOffice community people. It's just an idea, you can choose another theme. I will also write Jennifer Cloer to understand which are the options. Yes, it's good idea.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi, I have attended LinuxCon Europe in 2011 and 2012, so I know the event. Alright. I'm not sure is there any difference between LinuxCon Europe and Japan, however I've attended all of LinuxCon Japan as a volunteer staff, so I know backyard of LinuxCon Japan little bit. So if you have any question Japanese specific, please let me know. I will update that speech for POSSCON in the US (which happens at the end of March), so I will have a good starting point. Good. Please remember that CFP deadline is 28th Feb JST.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Japanese page on FB
Hi Sophie, all, Thanks for comment to Japanese community work :) Just to let you know about the Japanese page on FB here : https://www.facebook.com/LibreofficeStudyJapan From my (poor) Japanese understanding, it's about meetings on LibreOffice study currently in Kanto, Kansai and Kyushu. Anybody from the Japanese group to talk a bit more about it? Yes, your understanding is perfect! This FB group is META group to discuss how we can start, continue or manage the LibreOffice offline meetings in each places. It's very young, limited target group, but I hope it helps people who want to do something about LibreOffice meetings in Japan. And we have another group LibreOffice (日本語) : https://www.facebook.com/LibreOfficeJa Its more famous, widely used FB group in Japan. We use the group to share the news, topics or something interest about LibreOffice in Japanese. currently 184 ppl likes it. To be honest, our core community members mostly likes ML or Twitter than FB, but we know FB is powerful tool to reach many casual (non-geek) users that's why we care the group.

[libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi -marketing listmates, LinuxCon Japan 2013[1], one of the most biggest Asia international Linux / FLOSS event by The Linux Foundation, looking for speakers[2]. This event titled LinuxCon, however, you might know, lots of kind of FLOSS related session such as desktop environment, community building, etc. are welcome. All of session will be in English; no Japanese needed. Anyone have a plan to send CFP for this event? It's big chance for Japanese/Asian people to know how LibreOffice and our really active and open community are nice! I'll also send CFP not for LibreOffice, but if it will be accepted or not I might be there. If someone will come and will meet in Tokyo I'm really happy! The venue, Chinzan-so[3] combines hotel and conference center; it is very good place; beautiful garden, very luxury hotel and close to Akihabara :) Please consider to come Jappan!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinuxCon Japan: Call for Participation
Hi Charles, Kohei-san, all, I'm putting Kohei Yoshida in cc of this message. We need the support with the japanese community for that. Thanks for picking my mail. And sorry for misleading without enough information about this event: - LinuxCon Japan is NOT Japanese event. All sessions are in English (except some keynotes; but they have interpreters) - Of course most of all attendees except speakers will be Japanese, however, they might understand the event is international; so they can join English discussion. - I know LinuxCon Japan had some desktop tracks (GNOME3, Ubuntu Unity and Desktop Linux itself), so LibreOffice seems also suitable. - However, most of attendees are Linux ppl and they have less LibreOffice inside knowledge, so I think they have interest about our community inside, ecosystem, MS Office migration or such kind of marketing theme (because I post first mail in -marketing ML) much more LibreOffice technical inside. - Of course, LibreOffice Japanese community (includes me) will help you; global LibreOffice ppl; both of on time of conference and off time (if you want). I know my English is not so well, but I want to help you (any ppl in the list) if you have interest to have a session about LibreOffice in Japan ;) Thanks, -- Naruhiko Ogasawara (naru...@gmail.com) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
