Personalising the various function streams is an excellent idea. We are too used to faceless 
corporations. It would be a breath of fresh air.

The very fact that there are over 200 million users could make the prospect of contributing a 
little daunting, and I also think that many potential contributors would find it difficult to 
imagine anything they do ever reaching an audience of that size. How about a high level graphic 
showing how a change proposed by "little old me" finds its way to so many users.

Subject: [libreoffice-marketing] Update proposals for "Get involved" page

Hello everyone,

One of our long-term goals at TDF is to grow the project and community,
as much as the userbase. Like, it's awesome having 200M+ users, but if
few people contribute back, it's just a pretty number. So I've been
looking at ideas to improve this page:

https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libreoffice.org%2Fcommunity%2Fget-involved%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C0e5ca58b8e8e4cd9c1d908d855702e41%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637353287578721326&amp;sdata=CKIHgVQj8UY9y9%2FQ5ezpO5PrBLkPHzi%2FikuHawWmr7c%3D&amp;reserved=0


IDEAS

1. For each sub-project, have a photo and name of a "contact person" (eg
Heiko for Design, Xisco for QA etc.) The goal here is to make the
sub-projects look more welcoming and friendly, and provide a place to
start for newcomers. Of course, we don't want these "contact people" to
be overloaded with questions from newcomers, but they can at least point
newcomers to the right channels (Telegram, mailing lists etc.)

2. For each sub-project, add some specific tasks that people can do. So
not just "join this community" (and then what?), but "join and get
started straight away by doing X, Y or Z"

3. And also for each sub-project, add links to interviews with community
members from the TDF blog. These often describe how someone got started
in the community, and their experiences.


What do you think? Are there other ways to improve the page? Thanks in
advance for all feedback!
