Re: [us-marketing] Re: LibreOffice Logo on the NatickFOSS page

Hi, Rob (and maybe Joel?)!

Thanks for your cheery and complete reply. That's bound to help! I 
predict that it has answered all my logo questions. I'll try to prove 
that, tomorrow.

Also, thanks for the invitations. Jill and I don't spend much time 
hanging out in on-line sessions, but definitely are interested in your 
late-July Boston hackfest. At Algot's suggestion, it's already been 
publicized at our meeting, on the web site for our FOSS User Group (see 
my sign-off below), and in our e-mail announcements while we await 
confirmation and the meeting location. If Jill and I are in town that 
weekend, we'd like to attend.

Yes, Natick is about a half-hour west of Boston/Logan/MIT via car, and 
often under an hour by commuter rail from South Station. So in exchange, 
may I invite you help present LibreOffice to beginning and intermediate 
users (half of whom probably use it; we do) at a future FOSS User Group 
meeting? I think that would be a hit, too. (And you might help a few 
users with problems and/or get useful feedback about same.) Or just hang 
out in our back yard on Lake Cochituate (maybe with Algot), to discuss 
future cooperation.

Got more-complete contact information? Mine is below.

Wishing you a good takeoff (preferably by now) and landing,
