Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: promotion possibility for LibO

Hi :)
You can always write to them yourself to suggest it.  

I've tried it a few times without much luck but i think that's because they need to hear it from 
quite a few people before noticing that it needs to be done.  If it's just 1 person then it looks a 
bit like trolling.  I've never been back to see if enough others contacted them.  

Quite a few times they turned out to be dead sites anyway.  Any site that mentions OpenOffice and 
hasn't heard of LibreOffice is likely to be dead or deaf or lacks interest in the area but it's 
still worth a quick try.  

Regards from
Tom :)
