A belated happy new year to all. I am still around but a little less due 
to health issues. I should be able to attend the confcall that at any 
time you pick.

Issues that I would consider important to discuss at some point:

* IMPORTANT! -- There should also be talk of some members of the SC 
attending larger conference(s) here in the US. Last year, Florian and 
Italo came to a conference but apparently there was talk that they 
should have come to a more influential dev conference a month or so 
later. I cannot remember the name of the larger conference, but it 
should be in the archives as this was discussed last year. We need more 
N.American dev presence altogether and we also need more N.American 
membership presence in every other section of LibreOffice to give 
N.Americans a better sense of product ownership. The same could be said 
for S.American presence -- except for our marvellous Brazilian members.

* We really need to find ways to penetrate the N.American markets in a 
ways that are longer lasting rather than have some "temporary market 
presence" and then disappearing altogether.

* Another issue that the marketing team should look into is how to 
promote LibreOffice community growth. We need to find strategies to 
market not only the product but also the community. Strategies with the 
objective of getting a participating membership so that we do not 
constantly draw help from the same established members spreading 
ourselves too thin. Perhaps this could be up for discussion at another 
meeting specifically dealing with this.

* My  "pet complaint", get the wiki WYSIWYG working so that "newbies" 
are able to work the wiki with the smallest amount of learning curve 
possible. I suggested at some point that the TDF could pick up the 
development of the WYSIWYG module as one of its products. I believe a 
gamer group is spearheading the development of the module, but we could 
probably do a better job at getting devs interested in making it work 
properly. People working on the LibreOffice wiki do so when they have 
time but we would probably get more people helping out if they had a 
WYSIWYG editor. Some of us would love to just go around and help 
organise the wiki, but don't have time to learn wiki programming and, as 
I suggested in an early post, it is ironic that we pride ourselves on 
making the best WYSIWYG word processor but run our wiki on a non-WYSIWYG 
editor.

Cheers,

Marc
