How about we add it the next marketing confcall? At least it will be 
recorded and the SC will have a report on the discussion. So, there 
would be 2 items at discussion here:

* partnering with other projects at the installer level.
* having a set of logos available for public use in support of 
LibreOffice. Such a logo could be added to a website supportive of the 
LibreOffice project and it would point back to the LibreOffice site.

involves all of these teams.
