Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Websites we can use to bring in new contributors

Hello,

Sreekanth +1 for your idea.

Mike, I was one of the host Mozilla Sprint 2018. We have 10-15 dedicated
people in our community. They are are interested in opensource. I will
engage them if you could start these type of initiative on  l10n, QA,
Document writing etc.


Thank You
