Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Visual Identity of LibreOffice Ecosystem

Hi everyone!

I am Chris, and live within the beautiful island of Puerto Rico! My 
personal advice to this project is to market to Microsoft and Apple's 
feeble footing, and topple the Big Data giants at their knees- with 
delicate, but deliberate slicing thrusts of passionate programming 
activism!  In short: get the Libre Office, and Free Software Foundation 
products out to people who actually need these products the most- the 
relatively poor, and absolute poverty areas of the international 
arenas.  IT is at its core meant for all users- like good products of 
any nature.  My fastidious loathing of the typical IT quasi egomaniac 
fuddling with C compilers and thinks (s)he rocks it beyond the 
hypervisor potential.  I face palm at these twerps.  It is the pizza 
pounding, Rick & Morty bingeing, hipster Carnegie Mellon who cannot look 
up the phrase / now word "Dipshit" in the Oxford Dictionary that enrage 
me the most.  These conflated, yes, DS CS pseudo savants are a complete 
disgrace to the Free Software Foundation, Richard Stallman, ( yes and 
lump Linus Torvalds), and the precious work of numerous kernel 
programmers.  Literally we have charlatans as champions in today's 
world, fresh off some epic MOBA quest.  When will people be able to code 
in Assembly, or even create OS kernel with workstation or device 
communal OS interfacing, integrity, and interactive mutation correcting 
evolving code- with workstation/device community cohesion from adapting 
code with evolutionary OS proximity.

In short.  Just market the Free software Foundation better, to chip away 
at Microsoft, and Apple products- or even Alphabet inc/Google products.  
Next find time to code in Assembly.  Thanks.
