Articulation of types of people with the platform benefits: + * (addition) screen: a "before we start, thank you for +installing/using Mageia" screen toward the user + * (add.) screen: a "this is the result of people work, time and +donations" type-of screen - we won't have the "thank you" page +directed to contributors (at least, not in the way we expected at +first) but we need some kind of dedicated mention there (who did this +and how) + * Mageia is a system for people, who stay in control (nothing hidden, +privacy concerns, free software, huge library of software) + * for businesses: servers, desktops, appliances; secure, stable, +large community support; + * for developers: full of technologies and tools to build desktop, +server and Web applications; + * for contributors: it's a community-driven, Open Source project +involved many different disciplines! + * for you: you tell us what you make with this and how we can make it +better suit you + * (last screen, add.) a "we hope Mageia will help you to put some +magic in your life" or something along this line that "turns the +table" to the person in front of her device. + +I wouldn't focus on the "no price" bit as it leads to the "no value" +one too easily (furthermore, there _is_ a price to pay, if only in +attention/focus on "what is an operating system" and how to install +it). Ah. And we have no "brainstorming" place yet - so better not +mention it. + +A last remark, regarding your proposal Marcello, where you use Mageia +as an adjective. As a name/brand, Mageia (and Linux too, btw) is +"something", a name, not a verb/action, neither an adjective - and +should thus not be used like this (and not encouraged to be used as +such). + +Why? Not necessarily because that's bad (some people tend to think +this, although that's as well a sign of recognition), but because +being an adjective or a verb, it makes it something describing +something specific (a status or an action). + +Mageia is project and a versatile product and a community - that's +already too much for a single name (and we will have time to fix that +later) - but that's precisely something too big (and too young) to +push it toward a status or an action. So, no "Be Mageia" please. :-) + + +But again, I am afraid we may be quite late here in that I'm not sure +if we will find time to artwork to produce something there before the +end of this week. Nonetheless, this work will still be valid for +further releases :-p + +Who takes it further? + +Romain +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000363.html">[Mageia-marketing] proposal for installer screens +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000369.html">[Mageia-marketing] [Mageia-artwork] proposal for installer screens +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#366">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#366">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#366">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#366">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
