Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Can we put marketing titles under ournames?

Sorry for top posting but this won't do it any other way

I think this is a mistake, we need to show some real structure and movement in the community, right 
now there seems to be about 20 people running the show and no real numbers for the rest

There also seems to be no way for anyone to jon or be apart of the foundation until some guidlines 
are worked out, I came over because I really felt like my voice had not be heard in a long while at 
OOo. 

We have a great opportunity here and do not want to miss it because we r in a holding pattern.  If 
yopu do not want to give out titles or responsibilities that is fine, but at some point soon more 
people need to be included in the foundation and steering commitee

Hello,

While there might be a need for MarCons in a near future,
there will be no titles issued for marketing until we have sorted the
structure, the membership process and the governance of the Foundation
and the LibreOffice project.

Best,
Charles.
