Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Community Pictures

Some people do not think that a photo montage is part of marketing.  
Photos and other images are very much a part of the marketing concepts 
for many businesses.  Without them you would not have any TV or Print 
advertisements.

We all have out preferences on which images would look good together. I 
have not seen the photos, or actually know where they are being 
displayed [which page, etc.] but we really should show the "human" side 
of LO.  It it our people who make LO what it is, from the developers to 
the person who is promoting it locally.

Actually, for photos, I use Jalbum photo gallery software [free] to 
create online photo galleries and slide shows for organizations.  It 
takes the original size of photos and then automatically create a 
version the size I want [say 640 by 480 px] displayed on the web page, 
plus the thumbnails and all of the HTML controls.  Then if I want to add 
or remove a photos, I just press the "make changes" option and it 
quickly does the work for me.  It is much easier than any other method I 
have tried to use for placing a whole lot of photos online.  I have 4 
years of photos from many different events for an organization, over 
1,400 of them.  Without a package like Jalbum, it would not have been 
easy to add an event and its photos to the gallery for that year [say 
2009 Christmas Party to the 2009 photo gallery].

I have seen many companies use photo galleries, maybe even Jalbum, to 
promote their product line, artwork, or other "things" that could use 
photos or images in a gallery presentation.  Impress does similar slide 
presentations, but offline.  We are not saying we should not use images 
and photos with Impress to create a promotional presentation for LO, so 
why not have an online "gallery" of slides do the same thing?
