Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice 7.5 vs LibreOffice 8.0

Hi everyone,

We need to produce LibreOffice to be promoted for educational 
institutions internationally.  The US market is too saturated with 
Microsoft and Apple products.  I, firmly, believe that there is great 
potential in providing LibreOffice in Africa, South America, and Asia.  
The North American and European markets are too contested for Microsoft 
and Apple products.  Let's try to win over the markets where LibreOffice 
has the most attainable appeal- developing nations with modest IT 
budgets to allocate towards Microsoft Office, or Apple suites.  Google 
is our main competition.  Let's expand our efforts!

Best,

Christopher Dreher
