Hi Ben:

I have started 2 threads on the marketing list

[libreoffice-marketing] LibO in Education (JK-High School and NOT    
post grad. university/college)
[libreoffice-marketing] LibO in Academia

I am really interested in improving the LibO suite pagackaging so that 
it better suits these 2 areas of education. IMHO, I hope to work with 
interested dev. (once they identify themselves as interested) so that 
plugins could be either moded or developed to accomplish this.

After this, we could devise a more concentrated marketing strategy to 
gain a larger foothold in the educational field. I have had 18 years of 
experience in this field in Ontario, Canada and have worked on 
committees at the provincial and local board levels as well as 
administrative levels as a school board specialist. I may be able to 
help with market strategies as well as expected results from approaching 
federal, provincial and local board levels, both at the public, catholic 
(we have this division in Canada), private levels. I also have contacts 
and could probably arrange for group testing at the teacher as well as  
student levels.

As for Academia, I have had over 30 years of ties both at the academic 
(I have taught at some summer workshops approx. 15-20 years ago at 
University level) and technical level (I am also a piano tuner by trade 
and period keyboard restoring specialist). I can probably convince an 
extremely small group for testing purposes, but I think we may have 
already enough academics on the list who are prepared to help in this way.
