Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Funding Wishlist

Hello Kannan,

These are great news indeed.  It would be great if you could upload some of  materials (banners for 
instance) on the wiki. We have a marketing section as well as a design section. For CDs we have 
several initiatives, Libreoffice-Box as well as the North American DVD and I think these guys are 
doing a great job and would be happy to help. Is there anything else we could help you with?

Best,

Charles.
