I like this idea... but is sends the wrong message.

Can you give me another idea like this? I'll try to think up a cool idea
too. The "viral vid" is a great PR tool.


   @ Dave: Thanks! If we can do something like that ... just great. It
would be insanely cool to have something ready for LibO 3.3! So, after
joining the "interview thing", is there time to do something like that?

Any other thoughts? Dave, should the ideas be added to the wiki - that
would make it easier to track it (especially for you)?


An intro video would be great! From the perspective of potential new
users,
I think it would be really appealing to have a video intro and welcome
message that we promote in a very visible location or locations.

In fact, in wireframes I put together for the future LibO homepage, I
suggested a video of this type, right next to the download button. (I
have
attached the wireframe to the wiki as an ODG, but I'll make a PNG and
put it
in the page for easy viewing momentarily:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Site_IA_and_Wireframes )

Go for it!

What would be very cool would be to come up with something funny that
would
have the chance to go viral on YouTube.

Maybe something along the lines of someone sitting around with 400
dollars
wondering what they can do with it.  and unstood of buying MS Office,
they
download LibreOffice and but a couple really cool gadgets with the money.

Just throwing out an idea, it seems like viral videos not only get
YouTube
time, but they also sometimes even make CNN's homepage.

How about, a young couple standing in front of 2 stores side by side,
looking intently at both storefronts, both dreesed in casual but hip coats,
texting on their Android phones  . On one side is the techie store and on
the other side there's a Humane Society building with a sign advertising a
pure bred Bichon Frisé for $400US. The couple look at each other. Phase in
the "Freedom" song, still looking at each other, embrace and smile. Shot of
couple from behind walking away with the Bichon Frisé (still the Freedom
song palying) and with overlay of woman or man -- "We all have choices,
you've made it with LibreOffice. A suite deal!" (Woman lifts the dog up in
the air with both arms in a sign of victory.) Text overlay "Visit
LibreOffice.org ... free yourself. " -- Freedom song ends with a long
"Freedommmmmmmmm" and fading drum beat.

Actually to expand on this idea. maybe not a pure bread dog or anything like
that, but more a way to donate that $400 to a good cause while still getting
their office suite.
