Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Funding Wishlist

I would like to see more marketing and group meeting in the USA and Canada.

It would be nice to promote regional distributions, like the NA-DVD 
project, but we need more LO promotion in this side of the ocean PERIOD.

Someone with more marketing skills will tell you what is needed and what 
will work in this region[s] of our world.  I do not have the needed 
experience needed, or the health, to do the needed promotion and 
marketing in my tri-state area of the USA.  But if we can get the 
marketing in the big cities, like New York City, LA, and all the others 
between them and from Florida to Washington State.  Washington D.C. 
would help as well.
