With 2 different 4.x lines out [or coming out] and the last of the 3.6.x 
line, there are a lot of different versions on the table for discussion 
at OSCON or other event.

Would it be better to have LibreOffice 4 or LibreOffice 4.x on a brochure?

For my DVD labels, I currently have 4.0.4, and 4.0 as a generic label 
for that line.

The issue for a LO 4 generic brochure would be to avoid having info in 
that brochure that is for 4.1.x and not in the 4.0.x line.  It would be 
great to have only one brochure for the next year's worth of 4.x 
versions, but it needs to be generic enough to not "advertise" anything 
that is not in the current 4.x.x version[s], both conservative and 
"cutting-edge" versions out at that time.

As for things like DVD version labels, we may need version specific.
As for brochure text, we need it to be a generic as possible.


I really hope OSCON sees a lot of traffic at the TDF/LO table.  It would 
be great if you all-but-run-out of the brochures and other handouts.

I hope we get a lot of people thinking about LO and look into switching 
to it.  I know that the lady I was talking to yesterday really loved the 
"price" and the fact that it would work on both Windows and Mac 
systems.  She did not know what Linux was though.

Good Luck
and make some converts.

If you do have any "stuff" left, send some on to me.  I can send some on 
to others in the USA, if there is a bunch of them.
