1.0: Organize local events or represent AOO at regional or international events.  This might include staffing a booth and handing out brochures, or giving a presentation and/or demo.

If you know of an interesting local event, please add it and start a discussion on the mailing list about it.

2.0: Help design, conduct and analyze a survey of OpenOffice users, so we understand more fully who they are and what their needs and priorities are.

3.0: Help with the brand refresh for Apache OpenOffice 4.0 (estimated release April 2013, but most brand work needs to be done in next month or so).

This might involve a public contest to design a new product logo.

Higher priority because other marketing activities have dependencies on this.

4.0: Help design custom landing pages for website to target more of the "long tail" of users who are unaware of OpenOffice, but where OpenOffice would be a great solution to their problems.    This is a mix of market analysis, copy writing and SEO.

Rob Weir

Analysis is ongoing on wiki:  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Why+OpenOffice

5.0: Refresh existing marketing collateral, brochures, overview presentations.

8.0: Help promote our ecosystem by interviewing extension authors and profiling their work on a project blog post

 

 

9.0: Help extend our social networking reach by taking charge of a neglected property, like our Pinterest page

 

 

10.0: Create a video promo for Apache OpenOffice, highlighting the product and/or the community.

This is what users share socially (friends who never heard of AOO would be the primary audience).

Need help from someone with video editing skills.
