IMO, I think that the new edition of the "LibreOffice Magazine Brasil" 
is far better than a communiqué or a blog entry. From what I understand, 
BrOffice support is for LibreOffice is already noted on the TDF support 
pages[1].

I also agree. I would encourage the contributors to the Revista apply 
for membership. I think your work on the magazine would qualify the 
contributors, you have already worked on the design of the upcoming 
"LibreOffice Magazine Brasil" and this is certainly a measurable 
accomplishment.
