Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Engaging Users?

Great idea no doubt about it. 
I have to admit (using also Ubuntu and LO) that the former is more
perceivable as a community and the latter more as a product. It maybe
related to os vs app but most of the times could be just a communication
factor. Also considering that Ubuntu is backed by a single company ...
it should be the other way around.

I don't know if it is a good idea or not but after installation the
first time you run LO could you have a welcome document that brings you
into the community (love the slogan "it's your product from Leif)? A
kind of marketing readme? Or going back to Ubuntu they have the Example
folder in your home directory (which I immediately delete now but I read
it the first times and got me involved).  It could be a writer page or
an impress presentation (with hyperlinks). That way you'd also expose
people who install from cd/friends/.... and do not download it
personally.
