Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Defining a marketing strategy

Hi :)
Really great to see this sort of thing developing.  It might not be as large as the NA Dvd but 
hopefully that makes it a faster download/upload, perhaps more reliable when burning to Cd/Dvd too? 
 

The NA and German ones might give you inspiration of "added extras" that you might (or might not) 
want to include next time.  I think the market in the US is slightly different from Quebec 
(hopefully).  In the US OpenSource products such as LibreOffice may have a tough time gaining 
traction so the NA Dvd has other OpenSource products to help people gain confidence through 
familiarity.  People might be a little more willing to explore LibreOffice if they see there are 
other products from other companies so they are not completely locked-in to the dominant 
market-leader.  

Regards from
Tom :)

individuals are living in though. I have given out 100's of DVDs to
people, businesses, agencies, government offices, etc., within 10 to 30
miles of my location in New York State. I have also sent a few copies to
people in the EU and India via mail, before there was an "easy" way to
download the .iso files from LO's download pages.

I am also cooking my own version, specifically for Quebec.

It's nowhere as complete and extensive as the NADVD, I focused on local
needs and simplicity (and documenting all my process).
