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

The structure, membership process, and governance of the Foundation
need to be worked out quickly. The announcement of the TDF created a
momentum of recognition in the community that is only going to last
for a finite time. Once that buzz fades away, our ability to be heard
above the background radiation fades with it. In short, everyone reads
page 1 of LWN; almost no one reads the announcements page. It should
be obvious which page we want our news to be on.
