[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Blogging of items on the Marketing List

Hi everyone,

Now that v.4.0 is out, and thinks are slowing down a bit, I was 
wondering if we could finish the discussion on this, OR, just let me 
know to drop it. IMO, we would be a lot better off if we organized a 
process for the dissemination of materials. So if you could read the 
lines below, and, if we could finish and formalize some kind of process, 
I will take care of putting it up on a wiki as well as putting it up in 
action on this list.

I think we are lacking on the process and this would make us even more 
of an effective marketing machine in the advocating the use of 
LibreOffice on social media sites. It will also help us push our brand 
on the internet.

Cheers,

Marc
