Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: US Events where LO could be represented?

Hi :)
How about listing them and colour-coding potential events?  Perhaps red for ones that no-one has 
yet started preparing for, amber/tan for ones that have had some interest/work on the lists and 
green for ones that we are certain to have some representation at?  

I don't mean just make everything green just because we like the idea of people going there.  The 
other colours could be useful for letting people know which ones they could usefully join in with 
or start working on.  
Regards from
Tom :)

I guess the question is, should I go ahead and list these events on the 
events calendar as "place holders" where we could decide later on if we 
could find people to attend and perhaps man a table with marketing 
materials?

Cheers,

Marc
