On 1) Can I suggest we make the graphic change maybe 3-5 days before DFD. Make an earlier blog post letting people know its coming up. We should go viral before the day.
I could create a small page about AOO and DFD and what it means to us. Much like the download page, we can assign the social platform meta-data image and text to the one we're promoting AOO with. We could then link it to the early and day-of blog posts. - - - - - PAGE META DATA [Image=AOO-DFD-Doodle.png] [Title="Apache OpenOffice celebrates DFD, learn more here."] [Text="AOO is committed to support ODF standards so that everyone can access their information independent of the tools and suites they use. Learn more here."] IN TYPICAL OO.org PAGE TEMPLATE [Short brief about what it means to us. Benefits to society, talk about owning your information and having the freedom to move to other office suites and OS/Technology platforms. Talk about how we support multiple platforms for that freedom. Windows to Linux to OS X] Let your friends know its document freedom day on March 27th: [Share Facebook] [Share Twitter] [Share Google+] Are you ready to be free?
