Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?

Hello Charles,

I would be happy and honored to take a more active role.
LibreOffice is truly amazing. I am so excited, I printed the 2013 LO
calendar and it's on my desk wall now :)

Anyways, I think our competitor's arguments are aimed at business users,
not individuals.
And for those businesses that required the extra "features" such as email
and collaboration, well, there is a solution out there offered by Novell:

- Novell Open Workgroup Suite
http://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/
- Novell Open Workgroup Suite for Small Business
http://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/smallbiz/
(both include LibreOffice)

You probably knew about these already, but thought it's worth mentioning
again for anyone who wasn't aware.


Cheers,

Immanuel
