Well, I wonder what would happen if I/we sent them the 3.3.2 [scheduled 
on the 14th] version of the North American Community DVD with cover, 
label and insert artwork files.

How about "formally" inviting them to join the N.A.C. DVD project? [ I 
just emailed the Free Software Association ] Get their input, and maybe 
support, for the project and distribution of the DVD at the events they 
got to.

RIT people will be at the Ithaca event.  The are a big tech education 
and research college and deal with Kodak and other big name companies.  
They would be a good "catch" for promoting LibreOffice.
