Hi,

My biggest cost is the cost of making and handing out the DVDs to local
users and businesses. DVDs and DVD cases do not grow on trees.  For a
person on a fixed income, that cost can add up.  I have never charged
anyone for my DVDs.

Sure, LO's costs are more than mine, much more.  Yet, local people still
can have "marketing costs" to cover.  I would do more marketing, local
print and such, if I had the income to do so.

I am so sorry to hear you spend private money for marketing LibreOffice, and at the same time would like to thank you for your enthusiasm!

It is my clear conviction that people who voluntarily spend time for their pro bono engagement really should not spend their private money as well. One of the most important tasks for marketing right now is indeed to create local groups and budgets, to make those projects possible. I really hope we can work on that soon, so you and all the others doing great work can benefit from it.

Thanks again!
Florian
