    Web page design
    2011-09-08:
    • The Bug Submission Assistant is a form that a libreoffice user can fill when (s)he finds a bug. It is designed to be simple and user friendly. It needs a nice look so that the user is encouraged to contribute by spending a few minutes of her/his time to fill the form and submit a useful bug report.

    2010-11-14:
    • David Nelson asked for collaboration with artists from different Linux distributions
    • TDF members had some first contact with Novell, Fedora, ...
    • Christoph intends to contact guys from other FLOSS usability projects (OpenUsability.org, Fedora, KDE, ...).

    Branding
    Create / Refine Branding Roadmap
    • Refine roadmap for TDF and LibreOffice branding (e.g. collect community goals, ...)
    • Prepare the kick-off of the "Community Branding" initative
    • Coordinate proposals / branding ideas that are already "there"
    Currently proposed roadmap:
    • For LibO 3.3: Use the branding material what is available and refine it according to the feedback that is available until now. We might be able to provide essential and stable information for the other teams (artwork, presentation material, portable LibO version). --> let's call that "initial branding"
    • From LibO 3.3. to 3.4: Finalize the branding stuff for "initial branding" and further refine it (e.g. create missing MIME icons etc.) and use it for the software. More important, start working on the "community branding" (e.g. brainstorming, community values, demos, agreement, ...). Draft of a vision/mission statement, draft of a visual identity/logo briefing.
    • After LibO 3.5: Use the "community branding" and for both the software and also for the web presence etc.

    2010-01-30: Set to "Agreed" according proposal by Ivan

    2010-01-30
