Would it be a good idea to sign off on emails with your country? Like

Yes, this could be a nice way to recognize ourselves and the specific
problems we represent. Software has to deal with languages because of
the localization, but marketing has to deal with countries because of
governments and economies. Let's say that the OOo project was a
collection of marketing horrors by Sun that Oracle is pushing forward in
a shameless way. Of course, there are country specific languages, like
Italian, where the distinction between language and market don't matter,
and languages like english and spanish which are spoken in completely
different economies. In this case I am definitely for some country
specific distinction, which definitely make sense. At first, though,
it's better to shape the group, and then look at country specificities.

Hello Italo

Just a quick comment - not restricted to marketing per se, or even
country specific.

OO.o as an organization was constructed in such a way that everything
focused on the single entity. Very much similar to a corporate
structure. This is not the only way to construct an organization
however. 

There are models that are much more based on confederation.

I haven't seen anything yet on the structures that are being talked
about for the document foundation - and I realize it is early, so don't
take that as meaning that I think I should of at this point.

But I am interested if anyone is looking at this other type of approach.

Thanks

Drew
