Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Happy 2014 and Calendar

Hi Tim, All,

Well, I had an ideia after read your e-mail.

I prepared another template of calendar. My ideia was: calendar and 
LibreOffice advertisment for each month.

I translated the months and the weeks, but I didn't translate the 
advertisment. I thought it would be better each community insert your 
advertisment in your own language.

Just to justify, I prepared the file in LibreOffice Draw, because I 
think this is one of the modules forgetful by the users. Well, in 
Brazil, most of users forget. This is one the way that I find to 
estimulate users to use LibreOffice Draw.

I'm not sure if you are going to like this calendar, but I'm sharing anyway.
