[us-marketing] Note from Erich Christian re: LibreOfficeBox and DVD production sites

I am just posting this note that was left on the Website list as the 
content has more to do with the Americas DVD production. I have 
suggested that the posts continue on list.

I think in some cases, we should think more of on a regional basis than 
international. It is just a matter of having the teams to keep up the 
work on the DVD once new versions of LibreOffice are announced. For 
groups where there are too few to upkeep a regional DVD version, then an 
international version would be more reasonable.

This is great! Our DVD is based on the LibreOfficeBox initiative, but 
with some modifications being made for North/Central/South American 
release. So it would certainly fit this criteria.

I am copying this message to the US Marketing Team list as this is where 
the work related messages on the DVD are occurring. Maybe we could 
continue this discussion there? It seems to be the most logical place to 
discuss this as the topic is really about the DVD production for the 
American markets (all of them).
