Does LibreOffice need more promotion?

Hi there! I met Mirek in LibreGraphicsMeeting 2013 and talked about how few
committed UX designers LibreOffice has, that shocked me. I'm not interface
designer but I could make a promotional video with motion graphics (like
Jakub Steiner did on Gnome3 promos), in order to gather developers and
users.

But first, there are some questions.

Does LibreOffice need a radical change at all to *differenciate* itself
from Microsoft's Office, being not only the free alternative, but the
standard office suite?

If so, does LibreOffice need promotion in order to grow the developer team
and make this change?
A promotional video would say something like "Libre Office is The Standard,
used by many millions of users, and yet it has a small developer team wich
need you involved".

Otherwise, if this radical change is going to happen without need of a
promotion, the video could be launched afterwards, announcing the brand-new
LibreOffice and its will to become The Standard.

I've beek lurking the mailing lists and you can smell the will to change,
at least in UX/UI matters. I'm just trying to help this to happen.

Sincerely,
Pablo.

LibreOffice stickers - proposal for odering

Hi,

(One of the longer standing items...)

Since producing stickers central and then shipping is most 
cost-effective, and having some experience, I volunteer to order some 
kinds of stickers.

We have/had two kinds:
   a. normal logo [1]        (110 X 35 mm)
   b. the love-variant [2]   (110 X 25 mm)

I noticed at booths / sticker hand-outs that people also look for 
smaller sizes. For - let me call it - guerilla-stickering ;)

So I propose to do also do sizes 60 x 20 / 60 x 14
(approximately - didn't check this with a printer.)

If we a sort of agree, I can ask for the budget.

Opinions?
Maybe - when we work on it anyways - there's an addition design that we 
can order for :-)

Cheers,
Cor

Ask.LibreOffice.org and Bugzilla Twitter accounts

Hi,

You know social media is a very effective channel for getting people's
attention. Also it can be used a regular reminder/ping'er/poke'r for
communities.

So using the social media's advantages to increase the community's
attention on Ask.LibreOffice.org site and Bugzilla will be good imho.

We had used this method in Pardus GNU/Linux and it worked. After
asking to Florian for his advice that if is this possible to use this
channels for LibreOffice, i've creaed two twitter accounts.

The new accounts are:

LibreOffice Bugzilla:
https://twitter.com/LibreOfficeBugs

Ask.LibreOffice.org:
https://twitter.com/AskLibreOffice

I've connected ask site's new question feeds and bugzilla's new bug's
feeds to this accounts.

The goals of having this accounts are:

· To keep more attention on questions and bugs

· Make community contribution process more social

Posts on the marketing list

Hello Tom,

Your recent posts on the marketing list have been, for a very large
part, distracting and disturbing the progress of the team. The comments
you have
made have not been the result of an actual contribution from your side
and their content did not help improve the ongoing work that was being
discussed. On the contrary, your posts seemed to have reflected your
opinion on general matters and on the LibreOffice software suite itself
that was out of context with respect to the discussion at hand. 

What is even more disturbing is that we, the board of the Document
Foundation,  have received off list complaints of long term contributors
who hold us that they were not
reading this list anymore because of your posts.

We would like to remind you that this list, as well
as others, are communication tools for the LibreOffice project
contributors and do not exist for any other purpose. If you were to
continue to post similar comments we will be forced to moderate your
messages.

On behalf of the Board,

An early report on the Facebook ads

Hello everyone,

I'd like to share with you an early report on our Facebook ad campaign.
My first surprize was that a Facebook ad has to be validated by Facebook
and it  does take time (several days). Consequently, the ad campaign
effectively started on the 7th of May. From the 7th till today (6 days)
the ad was seen by 74,298 unique people, over a general scope of over
135 Million people (people selected in English-speaking geographies with
specific interests, from small business owner to education-interested
audiences and tech early adopters). I can provide a specific audience
segmentation if needed. Needless to say, I configured the ad to run for
people who are not related to LibreOffice. The goal of this ad was to
get more "Likes", and thus the report follows that logic. 

The ad was seen by 74,298 people, that's the effective outreach of the
ad until now. On these people, 718 people actually clicked on the ad,
went to the LibreOffice Facebook page and on these 718 people, 560 liked
it (clicked on the like this page button). 

This costed (again, till today) 165 Euros and 46 cents. Keep in mind we
have set a limit of 30 Euros for each day the ads run. In the end it
seems that each "Like" by anyone on Facebook to the LibreOffice page
costs 30  cents. 

I have more in-depth metrics if anyone's interested, but I'd like to
share my feeling about this ad: On the one hand it's great because it
seems we are able to raise the awareness of LibreOffice; both the
potential audience and the effective audience numbers are impressive;
but then what does clicking on a Like button mean? I don't know what to
think about that.

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
