Quick and Easy Marketing Activities

Per Louis' suggestion, I have started this page to list easy things people can do to promote OpenOffice.org in their spare time.

If you have 0 minutes

• Wear an OpenOffice.org polo shirt instead of your normal gear and be a walking advert

If you have 7 minutes

• Watch this inspirational video about how to convert schools, public administrations, and others to OOo.
• Visit Dell's IdeaStorm website and vote for OpenOffice.org to be an option for pre-installation on new Dell computers.

If you have 10 minutes

• Support OpenOffice.org by adding it to your resumé. I wrote about this on SolidOffice.com:
  • "If you know or use OOo, you can promote yourself and subtly promote open source and open data formats at the same time. The process could not be simpler: just mention your knowledge of OpenOffice on your resume or CV! You’ll look smart, differentiate yourself from other candidates, and maybe even find a more comfortable, open source-friendly work environment at the same time."
• Join the Mugshot.org OpenOffice Group.
  • Mugshot is an open source, meta social networking site. When you join a group, you can elect to receive updates when members make changes or add posts to their blogs.
• Join the Facebook OpenOffice.org Group.
• Add a signature to your email account that links back to the OpenOffice.org home page.

If you have 20 minutes

• Email your friends and coworkers a quick message reminding them of the benefits of OOo and open source programs for their personal use. Give them a link to the Why? micro site.
• Burn half a dozen CDs and give them to your friends. If they are typical Windows users, give them a 'CD for dummies' like The OpenCD.
