Hi :)
I think you can create your own websites as a central point.  However, linking 
in with existing systems makes it easier to attract and build up a community.  
New people might already have an idea how to use, update, edit and add to what 
you have or use the wider community to get help.  


An ossmalta website might be excellent as a list of recommended projects with 
links to the relevant parts of those projects.  LibreOffice would be 1 item in 
the list and clicking it would take people to your
http://mt.libreoffice.org/
website.  The .org is a better ending then .com if you can get it.  It fits with 
the FOSS philosophy better and seems larger and less limited somehow.  


It's worth joining the Websites Mailing List to get better ideas of how to build 
something up and the localisers list to get ideas on how to get translations.  


For discussions about websites and perhaps forums
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/web-administrators/
LibreOffice doesn't have any official forums at the moment but i think you could 
add one to the Maltese site?  It's worth asking the Websites Team for ideas 
about how to do that.  


For ideas about getting translations done
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/localizers/

I'm not a translator but i would guess that  it's fine to start with English or 
Italian or something or perhaps google-translate or something to get something 
rough "up and ready" fairly quickly.  Then just translate a bit at a time when 
you have time or encourage people to lend a hand.  Perhaps start with getting 
the Home & Download pages completed.  Some things might be good as school or 
college projects?  


Ideally i guess it makes sense to delegate all the work for the various parts to 
other groups and just take a coordinating role.  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

hi tom,

if i may ask how do i go about translating the site then lets say making 
amt.libreoffice.org site?

like the IT, and i think Italo may take some interest as weare neighboring 
nations.

and yes i am also in contact with Australian - Maltese schools
and communities in Melbourne and Sydney, and smaller cities at an estimate of
a minimum of 2 million speaker around the world as at 2007 large clusters
have been found in the nations you have mentioned as well
as Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Bulgaria, France, Syria, United Arab Emerites just
to mention a few...

i would like to ask if i am still able to create the
libreoffice.ossmalta.com, as for local promotions, and support for the local
community since the mt.libreoffice.org would just be a translated version of
libreoffice.org, unless there are forums?

the reason why i am mentioning my group ossmalta, as i am building it to be
malta's one stop site for the world of open source - making it the Open
Source Society in Malta. a big vision i know, a tough project you bet, but
will it work? since its based off the spirit of TDF and Ubuntu forums,
i believe it will, after all its for every one and the general public

Hi :)
There are a lot of official LibreOffice websites for different
languages/countries.  Here is a list ...

http://www.libreoffice.org/international-sites/
Apparently there are Maltese communities and individuals living in many
other
countries, not just in Malta.  Notably Australia, Canada, Italy, Uk and the
US
have fairly large numbers of Maltese people or people who can probably
trace
their origins back there fairly easily.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_language
An official website might help develop The Document Foundation's Maltese
Community.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi  guys and girls

i forgot to mention that i will be working on a sub-site called
libreoffice.ossmalta.com where it would be in English and in the Maltese
language, i would like to ask i any one has experience on the google app -
sites platform? as to optimize it for the local market for promoting the
community, and also for my community site ossmalta.com to market
LibreOffice  and provide some sort of support in the Maltese islands which
has a population of around 500,000 according to our last census.

should any one have any objections kindly e-mail me, those that would like
to
help on the project i am more then happy for your assistance, i would like
to finish this project by mid 2012 as at late 2012 the smartcity project
funded by dubai telecom the same people of dubai internetcity will complete
thier project and would bring high rollers like oracle, microsoft, apple,
dell, lenovo and more to the  country

Thanks
Warren

Hi Warren,

Cool - and I'm glad you popped onto the mailing list to follow up with
the request you stated  on FaceBook.

So - first the promo video you asked about - the 'Many Voices' video.





http://www.youtube.com/user/libreoffice#p/c/3394BC60362F3DF6/0/SI4BjrxNwwA


Note: I'm still using the youtube LibreOffie Vols channel, but have

just

recently begun using the LibreOffice channel. (more on that in a
different email)

I think you wanted the graphic files I used for the backgrounds.

You can find the files on the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Wallpapers

There is a little trick I do with the  document icon, adding the

scatter

motif and the Libo/TDF logo - but that is all generated within the

video

editor, blending the different elements at runtime - the source for
those elements are also available on the wiki.


Though I do have a graphic of that rendering, but it hasn't really

been

vetted in anyway.

OH - the voices, all from google BTW.

Then there is the second video




http://www.youtube.com/user/libreoffice#p/c/3394BC60362F3DF6/0/SI4BjrxNwwA


Image wise, again all images are available from the wiki - but I did
create special png files for use in the video from SVG sources on  the
wikim, for the application icons and the paper airplane.

This one maybe is better suited for folks to add their own voice to.

If that interests you then there are two possible ways to proceed.

1) Simply make a recording of your voice and send it to me and I'll
replace my voice with yours.

2) I can send you the mp4 file, minus my voice, but with the music

track

intact and you can mix your voice overtop.

Either way is good with me.

Let me know.
