Just wondering, is there something like "regional distribution people"? Evans On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 7:36 PM, webmaster-Kracked_P_P < webmaster@krackedpress.com> wrote:
I think a "marketing strategy" should have been well defined a year ago. I think TDF/LO is well behind in this part of the marketing of this great product. Us regional distribution people are trying our best without a TDF/LO marketing plan from The Board. Hopefully we will get some guidelines, marketing materials [files to be printed locally] and other things that we can "get" to help in our regional promotion of LO. Be nice to have promotional items like hats, polo shirts, and pens to help promote the product. But, that can take time and marketing monies that TDF/LO does not have, or the regional people do not have. One day, hopefully.

I will also put in a few thoughts in the coming days, at least from my perspective and experience carrying out FOSS Advocacy in Africa. Evans On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 5:12 PM, Charles-H.

It is similar to the topic of building a marketing/marketeer network that has been on the agenda for a while, but that I simply didn't manage to work on so far. How has the feedback on your posting been so far? I only spotted a few message - did you receive anything in private or on other channels? How shall we move on? Putting things in the wiki on a page, or planning a marketing call, hoping we get more participants this time? :-)So for the moment, Jean is travelling, and a few others seem to be waiting to have some time to take time with this as well, and I would agree. I'll ping on this thread in 2 weeks or so. I would actually point out that this is not at all about building a marketeers network, as it is a discussion about strategic orientation of LibreOffice marketing. However a call at some point might indeed prove necessary. My point is: let's take our time with this, this topic is important, but of course, input is welcome now. Best, -- Charles-H.
