Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: PC world article

Perhaps someone could offer to write them another article and ask how much they 
would pay?  A more in-depth article about 1 function or 1 of the packages, such 
as focusing on Writer or Calc or something.  Or perhaps a simple HowTo Guide or 
something?

Regards from
Tom :)

I had read, which I just did here, that Italo was going to respond to the 
article. We should also not be afraid to respond as users as well. Also note 
that PCWorld Business Centre had given us a favourable mention[1]. So, we are 
making inroads. At the moment, I personally think that personal LibreOffice user 
feedback on these LibreOffice review articles should be promoted on our lists. 
After all, we build it, now its time that we make our voice heard.

Cheers
