We're looking for designers to help propose and implement design work required for a branding effort.
1. Subscribe to our public Marketing mailing list by sending an email to marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org and respond to the confirmation email you will then receive.
2. Introduce yourself on the mailing list by sending an email to the Marketing mailing list: marketing@openoffice.apache.org
3. Complete Orientation Modules. If you are already familiar with open source projects at Apache, then you can quickly skim over the Level 1 and Level 2 modules and concentrate on the short Introduction to Marketing module. If, however, you are new to Apache, and want a more methodical approach to getting started, then you can start at Level 1 modules first.
4. Register to this wiki in the top right corner.
5. After you join the community you can make your designs available by posting ideas under this wiki page and more complete designs under this wiki page. Send us an e-mail to the marketing list after you make a proposal. Make sure you're subscribed first.
We've broken down the areas of focus for branding as child topics to this wiki page. You can see that we have from splash screens to icons to websites.
Apache OpenOffice (AOO) is the re-named and re-homed OpenOffice.org, the second most popular Productivity Software package on the market. Our users number in the tens of millions worldwide. AOO is one of the most important pieces of open source software available today. Being of a type of application that is universally used in computers world wide by people of all ethnicities and localities and from home users and small business through to large enterprise and government.
The OpenOffice community is over ten years old, it spans all time zones, a myriad of cultures and languages and levels of technical sophistication. This creates a vibrancy and atmosphere within the community that is unique to the OOo universe.
The OpenOffice User community shares many of these attributes but is far larger than the volunteer community.
The aim of the project is to provide the Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee with options for some new branding options for the 4.0 release. Volunteers can use existing branding as a starting point or start entirely afresh.
