First Year Anniversary - party CD
I would like to propose that we treat the 13th of the month as our 1st
Anniversary and would like to do the following for the occasion:
There has already been a few CD requests made,
https://sites.google.com/site/khirano/Home/apache-openoffice-cd
the most recent.
I would like to release two CD iso images, Windows and Mac on the 13th
of this month.
Each image would include:
Win/or/Mac binaries directory
English _us installer for AOO3.4
All Language packs released with 3.4
SDK
sha files for each
Readme file
License file
[same as the OO.o 3.3 iso included - these should be pretty much written
already on the website]
Very simple HTML instructions screen(s)
Pre-Made CD artwork
Pre-made sleeve cover
Folded cover
Tall hard case coer
Disk
Some promotional material
Tri-fold application information brochure sized for tall case.
A couple of wall paper images
Two posters
AOO banner 150dpi - suitable size for a table at a show
AOO branded reprise of the 'Free Yourself' OO.o poster
A short anniversary video
----
The immediate goal is a one-off project, with the branding focused to
this Anniversary (3.4 release), so I am not suggesting that this be the
basis for 4.0. For example though I saw one person talking about a
release party, and part of this is intended for such a use.
I'm not proposing that the files need to be on AOO (sf) mirrors on the
13th, though I wouldn't be against it all either.
I would be willing maintain a project for this at SF, the images will be
somewhere in the 400 Meg size range. They aren't likely big download
number, getter's :)
My itch, is to do this with the group so that we could tell folks, if
you want to make a CD, here is an image - use it as is, un-altered, and
your good to go.
OK.. I've assembled a local set of all the 3.4 release binaries and
started work on the other items.
For the disk related artwork I sarted from the OO.o 3.3 cd artwork on
the main website.
Also started on the small 'party' video.
[None of that is done...]
Items not touched at all:
Appropriate text files (readme and license) for the is image - the 3.4
versions of what is in the 3.3 iso in other words.
All the fine print for the artwork..of course
The tri-fold brochure. I have an old one from Andy Brown for a basis,
haven't touched it however, if anyone has something already and would
like to make a donation...that would be wonderful!
I could really use help with any of this,
as part of this is the trademark ok, I suppose, part of that help is
your helpful and prompt feedback on that, I'll move as quick in the
graphic editors as I can.
also if it sounds like a fun week and you want maybe take of these items
to finish or help with layout ideas...let me know, we can meetup on irc
or maybe a google hangout, or such...
Ok - Again none of these items are done - so please do not use them for
anything other then giving feedback here..
.. I've got a preview of what I have so far at (no binaries, so only 64
megs) http://lo-portal.us/aoo/temp/AOO34-1year-cd-iso.tar.bz2 and the
svg files for the preview handy for anyone that wants to dive in also
available, just ping me on that.
Thanks, looking forward your feedback.

The CD still contains the line
(R) 2012 Microsoft Corporation
That does not make sense.
(R) should only be used after a registered trademark
The block should be
Media for:
Microsoft (R) Windows (R)
XP, Vista, Windows 7
(note that MS does not call it Win 7)

Also the sentence
an open office suite with freedom built inside
ends much too close to the edge. Perhaps it should be centred?
Further, "built inside" reads oddly to me, but maybe that is an Americanism.

Hi Drew and all,
Here is a quick jpg look at the poster Drew designed using a dark drop shadow instead of the white shadow on the features. I also placed the features in line with the lower text. I think I like Drew's large heading font better than the Bitstream Vera Sans that I used throughout.

Drew,
Can you align the word Media over a notch so it lines up with the words below? I think you will have a stronger look - as it will create that imaginary left line. This looks great - you have an eye for professional high quality!
Nancy
PS I was going to tackle the poster, but it is the last minute - I liked everything in your poster but did agree that the white shadow on the word processor, spreadsheet, vector drawing, etc. was hard to read.

Hi Drew and all,
Here is a quick jpg look at the poster Drew designed using a dark drop shadow instead of the white shadow on the features. I also placed the features in line with the lower text. I think I like Drew's large heading font better than the Bitstream Vera Sans that I used throughout.

Drew,
Can you align the word Media over a notch so it lines up with the words below? I think you will have a stronger look - as it will create that imaginary left line. This looks great - you have an eye for professional high quality!
Nancy
PS I was going to tackle the poster, but it is the last minute - I liked everything in your poster but did agree that the white shadow on the word processor, spreadsheet, vector drawing, etc. was hard to read. Have you tried it with a grey or black drop shadow instead of white? I think it would stand out clearer. What font style are you using?

Howdy all,
OK - well I know it seems I've been lolly-gagging here, well maybe a
little, but I've also managed to get a few things further along.
First - @Kay, about more generic artwork - sure I could and would do
that, though given some of the recent email threads I'm not really sure
that is what folks would want, but I'm open to it.
Second - license. It made sense to me to license the actual iso image
and the associated label/packaging artwork as CC-by-nd, which would
allow the disk to be manufactured and distributed without but _only_ it
it is in no way altered. The links above (except the poster) have been
updated to reflect that change.
Third - the actual html files for the disk. I started with a few of the
pages from the website, and then after following along the thread here
about just that got a little concerned - so I've made good number of
changes to the look of the pages, so that it does not mimic too closely
the actual web pages (all of which are under ALv2). That is for all
intent an purpose done now.
Fourth - I've requested permission to include the Getting Started with
Apache OpenOffice version 3.4 Guide from ODF authors. The guide is still
in a draft state in their CMS system, but appears to me in a reasonable
shape to ship. You can see find that file at:
http://www.odfauthors.org/apache-openoffice/english/user-guides/getting-started-3.4/drafts/gs3.4-full-book/view
I send email to the group there just to be sure that there is not some
glaring whole that I've missed in the document during my cursory review.
IF ANYONE ELSE would like to help review that, it would certainly be a
help, the more eyes the better.
Also, I'll be working on cover art (front and back) for that document
tonight and as soon as that is finished will include that in the
trademark request - and of course offering the work back to ODF Authors
for inclusion, if they want it.
Finally - @Kay again - as for where folks will be able to download the
image from, not fully decided yet - I could handle distributing ~200
copies of that a month given the band width on the server I rent, but
I'm more worried that there be a permanent address for folks to report
any deficiencies and the like so really thinking of using sourceforge,
it's not much to put a project together there. Either way I have to do
it tonight before I button up the files as they will need to include
that link.
So - that's it for the moment - I really am going to try an have this
all wrapped up and ready for a full review, before I turn in tonight.
Speaking of which I was thinking maybe the best way to let people review
the HTML files would be to simply push it up the same location as that
label art and folks to browse it that way - along with a copy of the iso
for anyone that wants to give that a go instead.

All the software packages I have seen which target Windows either omit
Microsoft or spell it out in full.
AFAIK "MS" is not an official abbreviation for Microsoft; they may not
be too happy.

I can see the (R) now, however it is not appropriately used.
AFAIK, the terms that are registered are
Microsoft
Windows
Vista
So the block should be:
Microsoft (R) Windows (R)
XP, Vista (R), Win 7
(or is it called Windows 7?)
It might be OK to omit the (R) after Vista.
The following line is misleading and should be removed:
(R) 2012 Microsoft Corporation
Have a look at some other recent products that are designed
for/support Windows and see what they do.

That is a separate issue, which should be addressed to the ASF

hmm - I suppose, though Alexandro is saying 'too much'... tis the normal
way of things in other words ;)
so... I'll see about trying to do both things at the same time - if I
can tonight, add more white space and one that, actually it will be
better for both.
@Sebb - also if you don't mind me asking directly for you thought on
something.
Rob correctly pointed out that this is really a re-mix of official
material, but not official itself - well, honestly looking at what I've
produced, not sure that is easily discerned.
Does use of the brand like this, without any notice on any of those
pieces of who I am, who the actual publisher of the iso image is in
other words, cause any concerns in your mind?
Thanks much,

The only possible problem I see is the text
MS Windows
XP, Vista, Win 7
(c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation
Should MS be spelt in full?
Microsoft and Windows are both registered trademarks.
Also, when I first saw this, I briefly thought that the (c) statement
applied to the content.
In fact I'm not sure what the (c) does apply to.
I suspect it should be removed.
It would be helpful to make clear that MS Windows is the host OS, and
is not actually supplied.
e.g.
Version for:
or
Designed for:
or
Supports:
Microsoft (r) Windows (r)
XP, Vista, Win 7 (or is it called Windows 7?)

A bit too much change for me, for tonight at least.
Also I wanted the option or should say tried to preserve the option,
that someone use just the CD label artwork - no sleeve/cover at all -
folks sometimes do that, so wanted a full compliment of information; at
least that was what I was aiming for.

I get the feeling the fonts are 'spread' vertically on the CD. Is this
done intentional?
Also I think is just too much text into a CD cover. maybe a more
simple and direct message would be more efficient.

Thanks - and I agree that poster is not quite there - kind of running
out of time for today however.. I'll try to poke at it one last time if
I can tonight.
HOWEVER the svg file is there at:

The white "shadow" effect on parts of text from the A4 poster makes a
bit difficult to read it. I'm referring to "Word processor",
"Spreadsheet"... part: there is some transparency on the front colours
that makes the text a bit... strange.
Beside that, I see no problem. Great work!

Howdy,
Alright - well, cutting it right down to the end on time here.
I just want to be sure, as I'm not sure this is right branding wise - if
you anyone sees a problem with this let me know, I don't mind re-working
things. I also won't be offended if anyone says hold up..
Here is the final cut on five items:

Thanks! There are a lot of occasions where this project could benefit
from the help of someone who is into copywriting.
For example, these would include, depending on how much you know about
OpenOffice:
- Helping with the tri-fold brochure about OpenOffice that Drew is
working on for the First Year CD
- Reviewing and disseminating blog posts/articles about the first year
anniversary
- Improving the contents of http://www.openoffice.org/why/ (which has
recently been refreshed in appearance but not in contents yet)
The best mailing list for this kind of activities would be
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-marketing/
but most topics at the moment are discussed here on ooo-dev too.
Regards,
Andrea.

Do you need anyone to update any of the social media outlets? I'm a creative copy writer with a bit of a technical background. If I can be of assistance, I would be happy to. Please let me know. Thanks.
Cheers!

Subject: First Year Anniversary - party CD
I would like to propose that we treat the 13th of the month as our 1st
Anniversary and would like to do the following for the occasion:
There has already been a few CD requests made,
https://sites.google.com/site/khirano/Home/apache-openoffice-cd
the most recent.
I would like to release two CD iso images, Windows and Mac on the 13th
of this month.
Each image would include:
Win/or/Mac binaries directory
English _us installer for AOO3.4
All Language packs released with 3.4
SDK
sha files for each
Readme file
License file
[same as the OO.o 3.3 iso included - these should be pretty much written
already on the website]
Very simple HTML instructions screen(s)
Pre-Made CD artwork
Pre-made sleeve cover
Folded cover
Tall hard case coer
Disk
Some promotional material
Tri-fold application information brochure sized for tall case.
A couple of wall paper images
Two posters
AOO banner 150dpi - suitable size for a table at a show
AOO branded reprise of the 'Free Yourself' OO.o poster
A short anniversary video
----
The immediate goal is a one-off project, with the branding focused to
this Anniversary (3.4 release), so I am not suggesting that this be the
basis for 4.0. For example though I saw one person talking about a
release party, and part of this is intended for such a use.
I'm not proposing that the files need to be on AOO (sf) mirrors on the
13th, though I wouldn't be against it all either.
I would be willing maintain a project for this at SF, the images will be
somewhere in the 400 Meg size range. They aren't likely big download
number, getter's :)
My itch, is to do this with the group so that we could tell folks, if
you want to make a CD, here is an image - use it as is, un-altered, and
your good to go.
OK.. I've assembled a local set of all the 3.4 release binaries and
started work on the other items.
For the disk related artwork I sarted from the OO.o 3.3 cd artwork on
the main website.
Also started on the small 'party' video.
[None of that is done...]
Items not touched at all:
Appropriate text files (readme and license) for the is image - the 3.4
versions of what is in the 3.3 iso in other words.
All the fine print for the artwork..of course
The tri-fold brochure. I have an old one from Andy Brown for a basis,
haven't touched it however, if anyone has something already and would
like to make a donation...that would be wonderful!
I could really use help with any of this,
as part of this is the trademark ok, I suppose, part of that help is
your helpful and prompt feedback on that, I'll move as quick in the
graphic editors as I can.
also if it sounds like a fun week and you want maybe take of these items
to finish or help with layout ideas...let me know, we can meetup on irc
or maybe a google hangout, or such...
Ok - Again none of these items are done - so please do not use them for
anything other then giving feedback here..
.. I've got a preview of what I have so far at (no binaries, so only 64
megs) http://lo-portal.us/aoo/temp/AOO34-1year-cd-iso.tar.bz2 and the
svg files for the preview handy for anyone that wants to dive in also
available, just ping me on that.
Thanks, looking forward your feedback.

That looks good.
Alternatively, if the two lines are made to look like a list, then
they are less likely to be confused with a longer line that has been
wrapped.
For example:
* English Installer for full application suite
* Software Development Kit
or
- English Installer for full application suite
- Software Development Kit
(or any other suitable list marker, such as +)
That might work better on the CD which has less room for the extra
line containing "&"

It's not 100% clear to me if the CD contains just the Software
Development Kit for the suite, or if it contains the SDK in addition

I suspect the latter, but perhaps consider adding "includes" before

Alright, Productivity now has a 't' where it should be, on all three
pieces.
The (c) is now a (r) for the MS trademarks.
Made the copy changes, per Nancy's recommendations - reads better now,
thank you Nancy.
Pushed png with those changes to the URLs listed above.
The clock/calendar tells me I need to call these done - unless someone
sees a real issue with anything there.
So - question - is this the point where I need to send an email to the
ASF trademark mail list?

Howdy Albino,
I was not planning on a Linux iso image, not for this go-round at least
- because of time.
In fact not sure I should even try for the Mac disk, as I have no Mac to
try it on and with turn around time on uploads/someone checks/fix trying
to hit this coming Wed for release is going to be a trick..
If you want to jump in and put together a Linux disk however - that
would be great. The SVG files used to produce the PNG images, listed
above, are on that server now - just replace the png for svg in the file
name :)

Hi Rob,
Well - right.. here is the MS Windows label at the moment:
http://lo-portal.us/aoo/temp/AOO34-cd-label-win.png
so I'm assuming this is much to generic for everyone's liking, yes, and
now I would need to make it clearly tied to something "other" (not the
main project in other words)

You don't really gain anything if you include the checksum files.
They only have value if they are on a trusted server. If someone
wanted to modify the AOO install in a malicious way they would just
generate new hash files as well, and put them onto the CD. But it
would be useful to link to the authoritative hashes, perhaps in your
HTML instructions page:

We've certainly given permission in the past for CD use of name and
logo, generally asking for attribution, a link back to the project,
etc. I think the most recent approved request was from Hirano-san.
So this would not be an official Apache release, but more like a remix
of our AOO 3.4 release. We could include something like this in
future releases, but I suspect the CD label itself commonly needs to
be customized on a per-event basis.
