Could there be a page or two that would have announcements like this 
displayed?
Having articles is fine, but having a list of paragraphs that have 
statements of governments, agencies, corporations, educational 
facilities, etc., etc., that have decided to use LibreOffice [or at 
least Open Source software or the ODF file format] would be great for 
marketing or "sales" of LibreOffice to local groups, companies, 
government agencies, schools, etc., etc..  If we have a list of these 
organizations that have gone over to LibreOffice, then it would be an 
easier sell for our local organizations, or such, to switch over to 
LibreOffice from MSO.
Showing them that these governments, large educational facilities, 
large corporations, have switched may make it seem a better option to 
switch.
With the corporate partners, using these names will help.  If we can 
say Google is on the Advisory Board or another company is a sponsor of 
LibreOffice, it will be good.  They use Google and if Google thinks 
LibreOffice is a good enough, or great enough, package that Google 
would be on the "board" for LibreOffice, then it might make sense for 
them to try our package.
All these press releases about who is now using LibreOffice, who is 
switching to it, or who is on a board or committee that is a company 
name that is big enough for them to know, COULD help will our 
marketing "press".
I see not easy link on the LibreOffice Home Page to take a person to a 
"In the Press Page".  I know there is a page with a listing of 
articles about LibreOffice, but it should have a link from the home 
page.  Then there also should be a page containing these announcements 
like Corporate Advisors or French Government agencies switching to 
LibreOffice.  We need to make it easy  for potential users to find 
this information, by linking it from the home page.  This is something 
I have seen with other software web sites.
SO do anyone on this list thinks having these announcements and such 
easily listed/linked off from the home page is a good idea?

This is of course a good idea! However, it is also a matter of 
membership commitment. A person or two would have to commit keeping a 
such a list up to date. OR the obvious alternative is a shared 
responsibility of adding such statements on a wiki page for easy 
retrieval for marketing purposes.
I've added a section to the "LibreOffice in the Press" wiki called 
"Press Clippings to Remember!". We could all take care of adding more of 
the "value-added" marketing press clippings in this section. We 
(marketers) could then mine these whenever we can make use of these.
Cheers
