Hi everyone:

My name is Marc Paré, I will be at the helm of the Canadian Marketing 
Team until we can organize and formalize our group a little more. I 
currently reside in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

I have been using LibO since the very first days of StarOffice. I have 
only been involved with the Community as a lurker on the forums. I am 
usually involved in software communities such as HotPotatoes, Linux 
(Mandriva/Mageia), Wine (for HotPotatoes) and Zikula (CMS). I am also on 
the Mageia marketing team and enjoying it quite a bit.

I am an elementary school teacher and teach FSL (French Second Language) 
in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I also participate in numerous committees 
of which Software Acquisition Committee, FSL committees, as well as run 
Lego Robotics Clubs, Computer Graphics Club (Gimp), Computer 
Reconstruction Club, Logo programming (French/English) -- although I had 
to curtail this last due to the lack of computer resources at my school. 
I participate at many school musical events as the music coordinator for 
our school. I am also a 14th-19th century keyboard repairman and also 
maintain a roster of approx. 50 domain names along with some website 
construction/maintenance duties, I publish an an online magazine: 
http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org and am re-organizing another project-site 
of mine: http://www.FrenchAsASecondLanguage.org (heavy rebuilding at the 
moment due to hackers). I usually only sleep 4hours/day and view little 
TV which explains my seemingly busy schedule.

I have passed the point of mid-life crisis and have not as yet bought my 
red corvette or my Harley. I am presently off work due to a crushed 
spine injury and have had 2 spinal interventions (surgery) and have had 
to re-learn how to walk twice in the last 7 months. Things are coming 
along very well.

I am quite happy to work on the LibO project and have always wanted to 
participate in a more meaningful way. My main interests are in the 
marketing of LibO in Canada as well as the marketing of LibO as a solid 
product in the educational field at all levels (Kindergartern-High 
School; Academia) and on the international stage.

I look forward to working with all of you.
