introduction

["J. Matthew Turner" <jm...@gmail.com>]

Hi! I just joined the mailing list and wanted to send this quick
introduction.

I'm a producer/videographer/editor with a background in social media
marketing. My expertise is in documentary-style interview shooting and web
video, so if there's a need to produce a sort of "pitch video" for the
site, I'm your guy.

I'm also an old-school computer geek and have been using Open Office and
other open source for years, so it'll be great to be able give back to the
community.

Cheers!

Jim

I form the other side of the globe, India. English differ little bit per
1000KM. Can you explain "pitch video"?

Welcome Jim! I think you are just the guy we need!

First, please make sure you have subscribed to this mail list by following
the instructions here,
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#marketing-mailing-list

I'm from development. I really think we need more marketing activities to
tell people the value of this product, while "pitch video" is one very good
way.

There are some marketing activities going on here which you will find on
the mail list soon. More importantly, please feel free to talk about your
ideas on how to promote this product. Please feel free to ask questions
here.

Go ahead. This is a very informal, structure less, flat, fun looking and
loving community. Come out with flying colors and designs.

Hi,

I would like to know on how we can get started on mockups - I'm ready to 
start on preparing several
designs for a new version of the website so we can at least have a 
starting point of a new looks.

Maybe all designers that are volunteering can submit their proposals and 
we can then discuss them?
In the meantime I'll be referencing the Wiki if there are mentions about 
this.

Welcome Jim. I am another volunteer like you. I am planning a mailer to be
sent to all who are all the contact list of all of the volunteers. There is
a general concession to go for a new logo and new look for the
openoffice.org web site.

WIll do. I'd love to produce a series of short, humorous Did You Know
type videos. I do stand-up comedy, so I know a lot of talented people
who could pull this off.

But we'll continue this brainstorm on the wiki.

Jim, this is perfect. There is definitely a lot of opportunity for short
videos that we could publish on YouTube. This is something that will be
better planned using our wiki.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Marketing+Activities ....
you will see at the bottom of the table: "Create a video promo for Apache
OpenOffice, highlighting the product and/or the community."

I suggest we start with a very basic, 'Did you know?' approach. We've
confirmed that while there are millions of people downloading Apache
OpenOffice, there are millions who have no idea it exists and why it can
help them in their daily lives.

We can start to outline a treatment and so forth on the wiki. I think that
will work better than a monster email thread. What do you think?

Please create an account and you can edit along with everyone else.
