Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Welcome to marketing -AT- libreoffice.org

Hi David, welcome Andy!

Andy, as you sent similar mails to the different mailing lists you 
subscribed to, it seems that we really lack in communication about the 
topic of the different lists as well as how to use them in general.

So we should create a wiki page (might be moved over to the website 
later on) containing the necessary information.

You probably mean the LibreOffice website (actually at 
http://test.libreoffice.org) instead of the TDF website.

That's the way most of us are trying to support LibreOffice.

As you probably found out by now, we post our replies, suggestions and 
questions to the mailing list address and the list servers distributes 
them to all the people subscribed to the list.

This is better than PM (personal mail) in most cases, because other 
people can join the discussion or know that the question has been 
replied already.

The only one able to find out the right area for your contribution is 
just yourself. As David already mentioned, it depends on your interests 
- technical skills as you mention might be very helpful in QA (quality 
assurance) and documentation (network install and things like that), but 
these topics are discussed on dedicated mailing lists (I don't know if 
you are subscribed to libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org  or 
documentation@libreoffice.org).

Here in marketing we work on different ways to improve public 
recognition for LibO, on branding and visual design and so on.

There are quite a number of interesting threads (follow-ups of mails 
created by replying to an existent mail - most mail clients allow to 
sort the mails by these threads) discussed here on the list (and on the 
other lists you subscribed to).

Feel free to share your thoughts on these topics by replying to any 
interesting mail.

To start a new topic, don't reply to an existent mail, but create a new 
mail and send it to the mailing list.

Best regards

Bernhard
