Document Freedom Day 2013 -- March 27
Document Freedom Day (DFD) promotes the use of open standards and
interoperability in documents. OpenOffice has been a core part of
DFD since it first started in 2008.
Our community's support of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) file format
is broad: in the product of course, but also via our personal use, and
via the efforts of our volunteers in OASIS maintaining the standard,
and at Plugfests improving interoperability.
I'd like to see us celebrate Document Freedom Day. I think we can do
something similar do what we did for International Mother Language
Day: Using social media and our website. We can reach nearly a
million people when we do this, so it is very effective.
To make this happen we need a few things to happen before, say March 10th:
1) An adapted logo for the website, something thematic.
a) The hi-res version of the current logo is here:
http://www.openoffice.org/images/AOO_logos/AOO-logo-hires.jpg
b) For ideas, the official DFD art work is here:
http://documentfreedom.org/artwork.en.html
c) The final website logo should be 100px high, with width of 200-400px.
d) If we can avoid putting the date in the logo we can reuse it in
future years as well.
2) A blog post and/or press release. The week prior to DFD is
"Sunshine Week" in the US, and is focused on open government
(http://www.sunshineweek.org/). So I might try to write up something
that connects the two, i.e., how the use of open standards helps
promote open government.
3) Use our social media accounts to promote DFD on the day.
Anyone interested in helping?
Regards,
-Rob

Yes, of course. This is just background information for those on the

There are at least two pieces here:
1) The blog post should, I think, explain the relationship between the
AOO project and ODF. We have a good story to tell here, both
historically as well as currently. The blog post, though is read by
relatively few people.
2) The Document Freedom Day web page can be more purely about showing
support for Document Freedom. It should be something that someone
wants to share on Facebook. Something with a snappy message, visually
compelling or interesting in some way that you want to let others know
about it. It needs to be "worth a click".

I believe this content is easily available on the net, however the focus of
a microsite is to give a very general and "to the point" message. And also
provide other angles on this like public testimonies, proof of qualities
and milestones in the adoption of the subject (in this case open documents)
and it's relation with the project.
Anyone can go to wikipedia and learn more about the technical parts such as
how many OpenDocuments are, but I think this isn't really the goal of a
microsite, nor should it daunt the reader with it.
I also think is an opportunity to embrace some design trends used such as
"Single-Page Websites" SEO techniques and further trends that could be done
on a sandbox.

The ODF standard handles the main formats used by OpenOffice applications:
*.odt = text documents
*.ods = spreadsheets
*.odp = presentations
(There are others as well, but less common)
"Open standard" has different meanings, which you can see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard
But generally it means 1) It is a published standard, and 2) It does
not require payment of royalties in order to implement it.
There are many standards out there that are not open. For example
MP3 audio has several patents on it, and a device manufacturer that
implements MP3 must pay royalties.
But most of the common web standards, including all those from the
W3C, are open standards. The ODF document format standard is also
open.
OpenOffice also implements some formats that are not open standards.
For example, the old binary format from Microsoft, the doc/xls/ppt
formats. Although these don't require royalty payments, they are not
standards, since they have not been reviewed/approved by any standards
organization. So they are not "open standards".
The advantage of open standards is that it encourages competition
since everyone has access to the technical information as well as
rights to implement the standard. This is quite common today, but it
was not always this way. For example, back around 2000 we didn't have
good documentation on Microsoft file formats. And the only
information available had a restriction on it, that it could not be
used by anyone was creating a competing application. So this lead to
"lock-in", where the user had to continue buying Microsoft Office in
order to have access to their own documents. It was a lot of hard
work, especially in Europe where the EC got involved, but now open
standards are the norm for document formats.

Re: Document Freedom Day 2013 -- March 27
Posted by Kadal Amutham <vk...@gmail.com>.
The http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Dfd gives very few information how
OpenOffice uses the open standard file format. By reading the page, I am
not sure whether all the files of AOO are of open standard. The page can be
added with few more information, in what direction the open standard file
formats are available. Is there any file format for drawings , paintings,
video, audio etc.

There is some good material here we can reuse. But, if I understand
the mechanisms correctly, we'll need to turn this into a standalone
HTML page, not a wiki page. For the social integration to work we
need to be able to control the page's <meta> tags in the header.

On previous DFD days, I coordinate a mini-site which include description of
the DFD, how OpenOffice.org is benefit of open standards and our commitment
to suppor them, and finally a few quotes from people around the community
sharing their thoughts on DFD, and finally a few relevant links.

I agree. Even though the actual even is on a specific day we'll get
more notice if we start a few days ahead of time.

So the idea would be that visitors could like or share that page to
their social network? I like that idea. Anything that we can do to
turn it into a two-way engagement/sharing will be more effective than
simply broadcasting information in a single direction.
For example, with IMLD, the actual blog post did not get much of a
response, but a simple Facebook post asking the question "How do you
say 'free software' in your Mother Language?" got 45 comments, 44
likes, and 2 shares.

Make an earlier blog post letting people know its coming up. We should go
viral before the day.
I could create a small page about AOO and DFD and what it means to us.
Much like the download page, we can assign the social platform meta-data
image and text to the one we're promoting AOO with. We could then link it
to the early and day-of blog posts.

I'll put the larger version of the logo out on our Pinterest account as well.

I think the images i sent must have been screwed up by my mail app (they were two different sizes)
Let me know if one of these are big enough. I'll work on something smaller for the website and send it later on.

That would be interesting as well, since other Apache projects could

Well is more of a character, the idea is to have an AOO like, here is the
profile of the different distros OS-Tan (Linux-Tan)
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/262/3/c/Linux_tan___Lineart_by_juzo_kun.jpg
The idea is to have an AOO-Tan, and that could be an initial shot to have
one (http://imagebin.org/251156). I could put the gull logo on the
shoulder. Then again is pretty lousy since is a clone of the Linux-Tan best
to have one drawn from scratch.
Maybe having a native-american based drawing with some gull feathers.

The OS-Tan one, I don't see the connection. Was the idea that the

Here is some artwork from a OS-Tan Logo originally for Linux, but with
some changes, I have modified the colors and peaks of the bird to be
more gull like. with the AOO colors.
http://imagebin.org/251048
I might do a different one with a white coat and helmet and blue edge.

Posted by Samer Mansour <sa...@gmail.com>.
Robin those look really good. I think they are excellent copy write ideas,
letting the bird out of its cage, considering the DFD logo is a bird.
For the website header do we need a wider logo? If so maybe a single cage
with the OO orb to the right, same text underneath? Up to you Robin and if
Rob Weir requires it.
I think the two above are good size for posting to social media and sharing.
Thank you for helping!

Here is the graphic in the context of the draft blog post:
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=openoffice_and_odf
I think the blog post could use an even larger version. What do others

Hi Robin,
I love the concept. I think our readers and users will as well.
For the website (http://www.openoffice.org/) the idea was to put it in the
upper left, to replace the current logo for the days leading up to DFD.
But that space is currently only 100 pixels high. We might be able to
exceed that by a little, but I'm not sure 240 pixels will work.
One idea might be to toss out the text and the date and tighten the
remaining elements. We can still use the text headline on the website
(where it currently says "Call For Designers: Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Brand
Refresh Project<https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/call_for_designers_apache_openoffice>")
for the actual DFD text and date.
Does that make sense? Would that get us closer to 100px?
Btw, I'll use the full version, as you have it now on the blog post, where
we have more room to play with.
Regards,
-Rob

Re: Document Freedom Day 2013 -- March 27
Posted by Robin Fowler <ro...@outlook.com>.
Sorry for taking so long, unfortunately I've not had much time recently. I've come up with a logo, it's still quite rough but might be better than nothing. It doesn't have a transparent background because it's not straight forward with the shadow of the OO logo. (May I say it's a bit problematic having two different background colours. Especially when dealing with images that we have no access to layers.) Anyway, you may well prefer to use one of the other logos available, and that's fine.
