Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-design] New templates contest

Hi :)
Ahh, just seen the announcement :)  T-shirts sounds like better prizes to
me for something like this. The t-shirts are much more unique and
personal.

My main points were;
1.  Having some "place holder" to invite users to contribute their own
templates
2.  "allowing" non-US templates to be entered, without making it too
obvious that it is allowed.

Regards from
Tom :)
