Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Starting something like LibreCon

Hi :)

I think we are right to keep offering both help and shared resources to 
OpenOffice.  By co-operating with each other we can achieve more and faster 
since we both share a common competitor that dominates the market.  Winning 
users from each other is small-fry compared with the user-base we could win from 
our common competition.  Oracle do occasionally reject our help but they need us 
more than we need them.  Eventually they might start accepting our help so lets 
not give up offering.

Regards from
Tom :)

Of course, they (Oracle) knows what you are trying to do, and they are
rightly (correctly) not going to give it to you. 

We, made our choice and choices have consequences - so get over it, and
get on with it.

My opinion.
