Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: LO at SCALE in March?

Hi Nigel, we would love to have a US based community of LibreOffice 
volunteer advocates, but it looks like in the US we have a large number 
of users but we completely miss volunteers who show up to help the 
global project with activities such as staffing a booth at SCALE. TDF is 
the organization representing the LibreOffice community, and has a 
budget to help these activities to happen (for instance, we can 
reimburse travel and lodging expenses for events, and the production of 
swag for the booth). Unfortunately, the old volunteers coming from the 
OOo project have retired or have passed away too early, and nobody has 
shown up to replace them. We have had to sadly turn down similar 
opportunities at other US FOSS events during 2022, and we don't see how 
to solve the issue.

We would be happy to work with you and with other organizers of FOSS 
events in the US to attract volunteer advocates for LibreOffice. Any 
suggestion? Should we organize a video chat to discuss the topic? I 
would be happy to organize the video chat, inviting you and other people 
who can help us, at least with suggestions about actions to address the 
issue.

Does it sound feasible for you? In any case, thanks for your message, 
which shows that we have loyal users and followers in the US, and best 
regards, Italo
