Hola, un gusto formar parte del equipo.

Si podría apoyar con la mercadotecnia en español, no tengo telegram pero

Hi Francisco, thanks for your message. We have a dynamic community in 
Mexico, so adding Celia who can introduce you to other members. We also 
have a blog in Spanish, so adding Daniel who is the main editor of that 
blog. Of course, you can also help by localizing messages and other 
contents. If you are a Telegram user, I suggest to subscribe to the 
LibreOffice Marketing group.

I joined the marketing team because I want more people to know about the

[libreoffice-marketing] First step - Introducing myself

[Francisco GC]

Hi! I'm Francisco Guzmán from Mexico. I don't know how to interact with the
marketing team, but I found out how to send a message to this email
address.
I use LibreOffice because it's open source; I'm adapting to the suite to
make it easier to use, usually Writer, Impress, and Calc.
I joined the marketing team because I want more people to know about the
advantages and potential of LibreOffice.

My native language is Spanish, but I can translate from English to Spanish.
I could help with that, translating images that could be used on social
media, as well as creating new advertising images.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice slogan ideas?

[Matthew Hurst]

Hi Everardo

I'm going to be uploading some wiki pages about messaging and comms for LO 
today and there's overlap with the slogans. Hopefully should make it easier 
than plucking words out of the air (been there, done that... it's trickier than 
it looks!).

The pages are all up for discussion and improvement, of course.

I'll post a link on this list when they're up.

Yep, I was thinking that there was a section for it on the wiki.


I've created this page:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Communications_Playbook

Do you want to put your content in it? Then we can share suggestions and 
tweaks together, and encourage translations. If you're not familiar with 
wiki syntax, I can give you a hand.


Cheers,

y 
basis on all the above tasks. Mike is focusing on slightly different tasks, but 
the overall workload is the same. All this, with a marketing budget close to 
zero euro (if compared to any competitor's marketing budget).

So, please be patient. In open source projects, patience is one of the most 
important assets of good contributors.

All that said, I think it makes sense to have a call in early March to discuss 
about future marketing activities.

Best regards, Italo

Great, thanks for offering to help! We have flyers that we hand out at
events, in various languages, such as:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/04/23/libreoffice-flyers-for-schools-and-universities-help-us-to-hand-them-out/

And a more modern design:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/07/15/libreoffice-flyer-for-schools-and-universities-extra-design/

What do you think? If you'd like to work on improved designs, I can send
you the source file.

Regarding graphics, we have recently contracted a design agency to
improve our graphics, creating things more consistent with our branding,
like:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/LO_26_2-light.png

But of course, there's lots to do. Is there anything in particular
you've seen, that you'd like to work on, or could be improved?

Cheers!
Mike

Thanks for letting us know, Matt. Yes, this is a public list so bots 
will scrape it from the archive, or sign up. (It's a broader topic, but 
the whole web is being swamped by AI and scam bots thesedays and places 
like Reddit are becoming unusuable. It will be interesting to see what 
happens next...)

[libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice marketing materials from design agency

[Mike Saunders]

Hello everyone,

Since late last year, TDF has contracted a design agency to create 
materials to improve our branding and marketing. We've already used 
their work in videos, press releases, social media and blog posts, and 
now I've added the source files to the wiki on this page:


https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Material#Graphics_from_design_agencies

This includes:

* Video opening animation (light)
* Video opening animation (dark)
* Banner for release of LibreOffice 26.2
* Infographic how donations were used in 2025
* Social media header banner
* Banner for LibreOffice at FOSDEM 2026

Anyone can use these materials for their local marketing and translation 
work, of course. Let me know if you need anything else, and I can ask 
the design agency!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction

[Italo Vignoli]

Hi Matt, contributing to open source projects in the area of marketing 
is not like consulting to a regular business, so please expect delays 
and/or replies which may look weird. Most of the people in the project 
do not have any kind of marketing background, and in some cases see 
marketing as an issue rather than an opportunity.


In addition, many people are volunteers, and people who are paid like 
Mike and me do not work full time, and do cover all continents, talking 
with journalists, supporting local communities, handling branding 
issues, preparing announcements, managing marketing budgets, speaking at 
conferences, representing TDF at global level (EU, governments, NGOs, 
...), writing blog posts, preparing slide decks for events, writing the 
Annual Report, and organizing LibreOffice Conferences.


I may have missed some tasks, but I am definitely involved almost on a 
daily basis on all the above tasks. Mike is focusing on slightly 
different tasks, but the overall workload is the same. All this, with a 
marketing budget close to zero euro (if compared to any competitor's 
marketing budget).


So, please be patient. In open source projects, patience is one of the 
most important assets of good contributors.


All that said, I think it makes sense to have a call in early March to 
discuss about future marketing activities.


Best regards, Italo

Great, thanks for offering to help! We have flyers that we hand out at
events, in various languages, such as:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/04/23/libreoffice-flyers-for-schools-and-universities-help-us-to-hand-them-out/

And a more modern design:

What do you think? If you'd like to work on improved designs, I can send
you the source file.

Regarding graphics, we have recently contracted a design agency to
improve our graphics, creating things more consistent with our branding,
like:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/LO_26_2-light.png

But of course, there's lots to do. Is there anything in particular
you've seen, that you'd like to work on, or could be improved?

Cheers!
Mike

Thanks Mike.


I'll put together some boiler plate texts that can be used across different

Note that "free" as in "zero cost" is not the main messaging point now

Thanks that's really useful.

Do you have key messaging to each audience worked out? If not, I can suggest

Great! Here is the source file:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/08/Schools_universities_flyer_altdesign.svg

You can edit it in Inkscape or similar. Having two flyers (one targeting 
regular non-techie students, and one for more technical) would be great. 
The more resources we have, the better!


We also have this migration flyer, with an old design and text, that 
we'd like to update:


https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/6/6f/EN_Migration.odg

Maybe if you have an idea for a better design, and 
strange.flute9...@fastmail.com can improve the text, we'll have 
something really good to hand out at events where orgs and government 
bodies are present...


Cheers,
Mike

Thanks for your offer to help! You wrote your response yesterday 
evening, after I had finished checking my emails, and I saw it this 
morning. I planned to answer after lunchtime, and here we are now. We 
are a small team with extremely limited resources, so please always give 
us a few hours to respond :-)


We have several audiences, like in general in the office suite market:

* Home users
* Corporate users (although we tend to point those to the commercial 
ecosystem, especially for support)
* Local governments / government departments (we've seen more activity 
here recently)
* Potential contributors to LibreOffice (after all, having many people 
using the suite is nice -- but if nobody is contributing, no new 
releases can be made)


Is there anything in particular you'd like to focus on, or something you 
have identified as missing? We have various materials (press releases, 
blog posts, white papers etc.) where you could help out.


Thanks again!
Mike

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction

[Sebastian Brower]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sending those links. I took a look at the schools and university
flyers and i think they are really good - Especially the modern design. I
have some areas I believe I can improve upon and would love to take a shot
myself. Any source files would be a great help. Also would you mind letting
me know the target audience for the flyer? Are we targeting an average
student or a tech-savvy one?

Thank you,
Sebastian

Great, thanks for offering to help! We have flyers that we hand out at 
events, in various languages, such as:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/04/23/libreoffice-flyers-for-schools-and-universities-help-us-to-hand-them-out/

And a more modern design:

https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/07/15/libreoffice-flyer-for-schools-and-universities-extra-design/

What do you think? If you'd like to work on improved designs, I can send 
you the source file.


Regarding graphics, we have recently contracted a design agency to 
improve our graphics, creating things more consistent with our branding, 
like:


https://blog.documentfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/LO_26_2-light.png

But of course, there's lots to do. Is there anything in particular 
you've seen, that you'd like to work on, or could be improved?


Cheers!
Mike

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Flyer design and text about "digital sovereignty"

[strange . flute9055]

It looks like I might have a bit of time to have a look at this.

Two questions:

1. Is there a page/post/something about aspects of digital sovereignty we're 
talking about? We can't cram *everything* into a single flyer.

2. Who are likely to be the readers of this? Different audiences will need the 
info framed and pitched in different ways.

In short - what are we trying to achieve here? Better info for managers? IT 
managers? individual users? The words and design will be different in each 
case. One generic set of copy and design won't do the job.

thanks

Matt

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Flyer design and text about "digital sovereignty"

[Italo Vignoli]

The mailing list does not allow attachment, so there is nothing attached 
to your message (if there was something). In order to share a document, 
you should upload it to a drive in the cloud, and provide a link.

Good afternoon.

After reviewing your recent communications, I took the liberty of preparing
a layout proposal for your newsletters.

The files are in A4 format and provided in high resolution, suitable both
for digital distribution and for printing purposes.

The changes were limited to reorganizing the elements in order to give
greater emphasis to the images featuring people and to reinforce the
message of freedom.

I hope this proposal meets your expectations and will be pleased to receive
your feedback.

Kind regards,

wants to work on other flyer ideas, that's welcome :-) As a starting
point, there are older designs of flyers about enterprise usage and
migrating to LibreOffice (in various languages) on our wiki:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gallery_Flyers

I think a lot of the text content is still relevant, so it would be
great if someone wants to take these older designs and make them more
modern and fresh...

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Flyer design and text about "digital sovereignty"

[Vinicius Duarte Creative Designer]

Good afternoon.

After reviewing your recent communications, I took the liberty of preparing
a layout proposal for your newsletters.

The files are in A4 format and provided in high resolution, suitable both
for digital distribution and for printing purposes.

The changes were limited to reorganizing the elements in order to give
greater emphasis to the images featuring people and to reinforce the
message of freedom.

I hope this proposal meets your expectations and will be pleased to receive
your feedback.

Kind regards,

Vinicius Duarte - Creative Designer

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Flyer design and text about "digital sovereignty"

[Rachelle Edwards]

Hi Mike,

Here is a copy idea for the flyer.

Tools and knowledge can be made available to anyone.

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is designed to:

   - Be available to use without payment
   - Be transparent, with its code and operations visible
   - Operate impartially, without built-in bias toward specific outcomes


*Proprietary software sets updates, pricing, and features, including
built-in AI decisions. **O*




*ften uses cloud servers overseas, sending sensitive data outside local
legal and technical control. Best,Rachelle.*

This is a great initiative and very timely. There’s increasing attention on
digital sovereignty, including governments moving away from Microsoft.

I can submit copy for a flyer today. I also have substantial experience

[libreoffice-marketing] Flyer design and text about "digital sovereignty"

[Mike Saunders]

Hello everyone – here's a project we can work on together. You know that 
we have flyers about LibreOffice and TDF that we hand out at events. 
Well, we'd like to make one about "digital sovereignty" (or however 
you'd like to call it – basically doing and storing things locally using 
FOSS, rather than handing money and data to proprietary companies that 
are often overseas).


We have some existing flyer designs, such as:

https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/04/23/libreoffice-flyers-for-schools-and-universities-help-us-to-hand-them-out/

https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/07/15/libreoffice-flyer-for-schools-and-universities-extra-design/

We can tweak the layout, but the main thing is to update the text to 
talk about the benefits of "digital sovereignty" (or public money for 
public code, or whatever). Let me know your ideas 😊


Cheers,
Mike

R: [libreoffice-marketing] Days which could be turned into LibreOffice events

[Paolo Debortoli]

Hi. Good ideas. 
I also suggested to promoter the project in schools and universities  
(involving directly universities and researchers would be a great goal).
Some ideas could be partecipating in events, organizing courses and 
demonstrations (e.g. how to write a dissertation in LibreOffice, including 
tables, formulas, database...).
Another idea could be giving printed manuals to public libraries in order to 
make the project more visibile and attract curiosity.
In the future maybe establishing prizes e.g. for students to solved some 
problema or a LibreOffice summer of code. But It will take time and money.
Making a link or post like 'develop with as' somewhere (I Guess somebody would 
join, but doesn't know how). 
Or I don't know.

Hi Adam, apologies for the late answer. I am co-leading LibreOffice marketing, 
and administering the LinkedIn pages. Can we have a video chat next week? I am 
available most of the time, please let me know which time slots would fit your 
agenda. Best regards, Italo

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinkedIn page

[Thomas Wade]

Hi Everyone,

Two products I know of are Buffer and Hootsuite, both have free tiers and
let you post to multiple social media accounts at once.

Buffer lets you have two accounts, and I'd need to check Hootsuite's
current free tier.

Regards,
Thomas

AssalamoAlaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatohu,
All there.

If anyone has an experience in creating AI agents, I've seen some videos
but didn't able to do it myself, to post same content on many/all social
media accounts. Or if any already created product available out there.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinkedIn page

[Thomas Wade]

Hi everyone,

This discussion has prompted me to look at libreoffices other social media.

There's a constant stream of content on Facebook, content that would be good 
enough to republish as is on LinkedIn.

Is anyone here responsible for Facebook? We could just post the same things on 
LinkedIn.

There's plenty of social media monitoring tools with free tiers that would save 
us needing to double handle posts.

Let me know what you think of this idea, it's an easy way to scale up our 
presence on LinkedIn without too much extra work.

Regards,
Thomas

[Aidan Horn]

Hi LibreOffice Marketing Team

This is my first time volunteering for LibreOffice. I started using
computers in high school in 2009, and now I am a software engineer, using R
mainly, and a bit of Python and SQL. I use Ubuntu about 99% of the time,
for example Ubuntu Desktop on my desktop and laptop. I haven't used any MS
Office subscription for two years already. I am quite passionate about
Office being a waste of money, which is what is driving me to help
contribute to the success of LibreOffice. I am intending on starting with
the marketing side first, as my programming languages are high-level.

I see that you have guidelines about going to conferences, but my concern
is about reaching the mass of people who aren't experts on the computer. I
feel that there would be a lot of value in using social media well.
Facebook is getting old (I say this while I actively administrate a few
Facebook groups with over 15 000 members each), but I find LinkedIn
professional and a high-quality social media platform. I see that the
LinkedIn page at
https://www.linkedin.com/company/libreoffice/posts/?feedView=all only has
one post, and I am willing to be added to the team for the LinkedIn page,
so that posts can be created more frequently.

I also think a WhatsApp Channel would be a fantastic way to reach young
people. A WhatsApp Channel scales very well, includes analytics, and is
very easy to use. For clarification, this is the definition of a WhatsApp
Channel: https://faq.whatsapp.com/549900560675125 . I am not talking about
a Community for the public. To give an example of how this can scale, the
World Economic Forum has over two million followers on its WhatsApp Channel:
 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDcHBKGZNCihKxwiD0L

Good evening,
thank you for your availability, i am attending the faculty programming and
management of information systems at the university of Perugia, the exam
subject course is open source lab taught by professor Marina Latini. the
exam is July 10 and a direct contribution to an open source project will be

interesting and would like to contribute in this area. I always make myself

Re: [libreoffice-marketing]

[Italo Vignoli]

Ciao Andrea, I am answering in English as this is the official language 
of the project, but I am Italian and based in Italy. I am co-leading the 
marketing activities at LibreOffice, which means that I will be in any 
case involved - either directly or indirectly - with your contributions.


From your email it is impossible to detect which university your are 
studying at, and which faculty. You mention an exam, but not which exam. 
In order to understand how to better mentor you, you should provide 
these information.


Also, it would be important to understand your timing, as we are 
approaching the summer and several people will be leaving for vacations 
during July and August. I will be away from July 1st to July 12.


We can have a video or phone chat to speed up the process, so please let 
me know when you will be available until next Monday to find a slot in 
my agenda.


Best regards, Italo

Hi Ravi, document freedom is one important topic in 2025, as it is the 
20th anniversary of ODF as an OASIS standard. Another important topic is 
digital sovereignty, whch is connected to document freedom. From the 
technical point of view, the concept of LibreOffice Technology.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Tariff Inspired LibreOffice Uptake in Canada

[crusader222]

I appreciate Mike Saunders's "politically neutral" promotional approach.
In addition to privacy and data control, I believe adding financial impact
would give the message a significant boost.  Paying [increasing] annual
subscriptions year after year doesn't make much/any sense to the average
office software user and small businesses.

Given that everyone understands the language of money, such a message can
be promoted internationally, hopefully with good results.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Ideas for a talk at KDE India Conference 2025

[Kazuo Ohzeki]

Dear Ravi Dwivedi,

It is a good idea to submut kde.in.
I think the topics will vary depending on the level of understanding of
OpenSource among the audience at the KDE meeting.

By the way, we will also be holding an international conference on AI,
ICAITD, in Tokyo, Japan, from June 1st to 4th.

https://icaitd.com ; Would you be so kind as to give a talk about
OpenSource and LibreOffice there? I think the audience will understand
OpenSource but may not be very knowledgeable about it. New features of
LibreOffice would also be useful. I have attended FrOSCon2007/2009 in
Germany, and would like to make use of the good points of open source.

Best regards,

Kazuo ohzeki

Hi crusader222,

New member, first post!


Welcome to the community! Glad to have you on board :-)


In light of the “avoidance” of US products in response to recent [threats
of] tariffs, has there been a [noticeable/known] increase in LibreOffice
uptake in Canada, especially by individuals? I am specifically referring to
“avoidance” of Micro$oft products similar to LibreOffice.


As we don't track users we can't say for sure. I've just looked at the 
download logs and there's been no noticeable spike in downloads from 
Canadian IP addresses, at least.



Is there any [known] effort to publicize LibreOffice in Canada, especially
after [the threat of] recent tariffs


We (TDF) prefer not to get involved in current affairs politics in our 
marketing and communications, but I hinted at this recently, which got a 
lot of likes and shares:


https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice/114155438902601123

I like the point made by Jorge in his reply to your message: "promote 
all FOSS products as stateless belonging to the global community". Maybe 
this is a message we can craft -- but again, without getting into 
specifics about certain countries or politicians. Maybe something for 
the blog and social media like:



"More and more people are getting concerned by the power and political 
influence of tech giants. The world is changing, and people are looking 
for options that respect their privacy and give them control over their 
data. This is where free and open source software (FOSS) like 
LibreOffice steps in: it doesn't belong to any one company or country, 
but is truly international, made by communities across the world."



...that's a starting point. What do people think? :-)

BTW, crusader222, if you're interested in growing the LibreOffice 
community and/or awareness in Canada, please let us know!


Cheers,
Mike

[libreoffice-marketing] Ideas for a talk at KDE India Conference 2025

Hi,

I am planning to submit a talk in the annual KDE India conference to be 
held from the 4th to the 6th of April 2025. Conference details are at 
https://conf.kde.in/2025/.


I liked the talk emphasizing the importance of document freedom by Italo 
during the LibreOffice Conference in Luxembourg, which could be a 
potential topic.


Anyway, please suggest some topics for my talk. I would like to promote 
awareness about LibreOffice and TDF, in general.


Thanks.

Great point brought by crusader222. It's time to promote all FOSS products
as stateless belonging to the global community.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Follow-Up: Urgent Assistance Needed with LibreOffice Installation and Corruption Issue

[Mike Saunders]

Hi,

You have sent your email to multiple mailing lists used by volunteers in 
several sub-projects of the LibreOffice community. Those mailing lists 
are used by the volunteers to coordinate their work, to give the world a 
free office suite. Sending unrelated technical support requests to many 
projects development lists is not good practice. The volunteers are very 
busy there and can't provide one-to-one technical support.


For all help, please don't use the project coordination lists, but 
instead use the community "Ask LibreOffice" website which is the place 
to get help:


https://ask.libreoffice.org/

called Victorious, a role I've held for the last ~9 years. However, I've
been in the SEO industry for ~15 years.

Naturally, I'd like to tap into my SEO background to explore improving the
visibility of the libreoffice.org website in search engines for things like
"Microsoft Office alternatives" and the like. That said, I'm happy to lend
support wherever needed and have a wide range of marketing skills that I
can tap into.

Let me know if you have any questions or input on how to best support
y'all's efforts to date.

Thanks so much!

- Houston

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Better filename extension

[nigelver...@hotmail.com]

I can fully understand Clocked Modular's reasoning and motivation, but I do 
think Italo has summed up the situation well. Other office suites can handle 
the currently recognised formats, even if imperfectly. This has got to be 
better than an "unknown format" message when opening documents originating on 
LO, which could set us back a long way.

The file extension is part of the standard, so we can't change it
without going through the entire technical process, which would take at
least a couple of years, and in any case a marketing idea is not a good
reason to change it (which means that the proposal could be easily
rejected). Standards are complex, and are not following marketing needs
but user needs.

It's an interesting idea. Given that LibreOffice is clearly becoming 
the best office suite choice for privacy, something like ".pdt" 
(private document text) would probably be a better choice.


OTOH, there's been a lot of work over the last decade to spread 
awareness of ODF and its extensions, so making such a big change could 
be very difficult. And that's just from the marketing side -- I'm not 
sure what would happen on various operating systems if one new 
LibreOffice release started saving in .pdt rather than .odt, and how

Normally, it shouldn't change anything. When you install software, it 
tells the OS which extensions it understands. Many applications change 
the extensions they support when new versions come out. For example, 
Guitar Pro supports .gp4, .gp5, .gp. and .gpx.


The real question is: will the extensions clash with well-known 
extensions. For example, .pdt is "Printer Definition Table", .mdt is 
used by Microsoft but seems to be an old extension. I didn't look at the 
others.

Ignore price. It reeks of desperation.
Focus on value.

To take a potential a potential USP:

_You do You: Your Documents. Your Language. Your Way._

You own your documents.
* Your documents are on your personal hardware.

You can write documents in your language.
* You can spell check documents in your language.
* Grammar checking is available for 30 languages
** Of the ten most used languages, Hindi, Bengali, and Lahnda are not

** For endangered languages, the limiting factor is fonts;
** For endangered writing systems, Unicode support is the limitation;
** Unicode supports 159 of the 293 natural writing systems;

There are workarounds for most unsupported writing systems (^1);
There are workarounds for most unsupported languages (^2);
How easy it is to utilize those workarounds depends upon the writing 
system, and language.



I think it would be better if privacy take place as primary USP.


Privacy should be paramount, for any number of reasons.
Explaining why that should be the case gets into politics, which is, at 
best, a tricky scenario.


#

^1: Natural writing systems whose writing direction is either 
Boustrophedon or Reverse Boustrophedon are not supported in LibreOffice.

^2: As a general rule of thumb, these are conlangs such as Lilliputian.

a) Cost can be measured in several different ways:

* The down payment one makes;
* The cash price of the item;
* How much it costs to learn to use the item;
* How much it costs to use the item;
* The total price of the item (cash price + interest);
* The cost of fixing the item to meet one's specifications;
* The cost of maintaining the item so that it continues to meet one's 
specifications;
* The lifetime cost of the item (cash price + interest + fixing it to 
meet specifications + maintenance costs + training costs + usage costs.)


b) Competing on price is a money losing proposition.
Competing on value is a profit making proposition.

By focusing of free qua gratis, one is competing exclusively on price.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Price performance ratio

[nigelver...@hotmail.com]

I take your point, but when an office suite is available for zero cost it 
cannot fail to have the best price performance compared with a paid-for product 
even if its functionality is actually dreadful.

Friends,

Is it not smarter to talk about the Office suit with the highest price
performance ratio available, than about Free!

“LibreOffice is Free and Open Source Software” than will become
“LibreOffice is the Office suite with the highest price performance”

Free sounds cheep (also in quality), The highest price performance sounds
like a good quality deal.

Interesting idea. I'd just be concerned of people only focusing on the 
words "highest price" and ignoring the rest :-) Maybe I'm being 
paranoid, but attention spans on social media are so low now...


In any case, the word "free" is problematic. People get Google Docs and 
(in some cases) Microsoft Office/365 for "free". Other people associate 
"free" with "stealing my data". So I think it's worth putting more 
effort into promoting the privacy aspects of LibreOffice...

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] "Early adopter" status on official download page high profile problem

[Italo Vignoli]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your notes. You are right. We have to improve the way we 
communicate the two different releases on the download page, especially 
for the majority of users, who do not understand technical subtleties. 
We might change something for the announcement of 24.8.


I think that we should position the two different options in a way which 
represents and advantage for the users, which have two options optimized 
for their needs (100% more than competing office suites), one with more 
features and the other more robust.


Given the reduced level of attention, any other information - especially 
if asking for some technical background, and an understanding of what is 
a software test and a software bug - is redundant, and there is a risk 
that is perceived in a negative way.


Best, Italo

Hi Mike,

That's a good point. I've changed it to "The latest LibreOffice, 
well-tested and suitable for all users."


We talked on the marketing Telegram channel about alternative wording, 
especially when we go back to having two major releases offered...
