[libreoffice-design] Re: [libo-marketing-priv] Blog post to involve esyhackers

Hi Heiko,

That's a great idea. I've gone through the blog post and cleaned up a 
bit of the English. As Cor notes, it's a good idea to present the easy 
hacks as fun, and highlight from the start that they don't take up much 
time. Lots of people would like to get involved in open source but only 
have an hour or so each week.

Similarly, I've found that you can get people interested by talking 
about the experience they'll gain. Think of computer science students 
who will be in the job market soon and want to have some impressive 
stuff on their CVs. Anyone can set up their own SourceForge or GitHub 
project -- but if you've had your work included in a major FOSS project 
like LibreOffice, Firefox or the Linux kernel, potential employees will 
take more note!

Once the blog post is up, I'll promote it via our usual channels.

Mike
