I would agree explicitly, even if I do not work directly in this area. I think part of the problem are excessive formal requirements that are not always fulfilled in practice and then cause that happens nothing. Of course it is right to organize the marketing on an international level, if this is not to create, in some cases, locally organized marketing is better than none. (imho) Please let us also see the reality as it is, for example, in Germany: many marketing activities (*) are there currently, supported by the PrOOo-Box (**), because there is only little local marketing from the AOO project directly. I think that's not such a bad alternative, especially as the staff of the PrOOo-Box also are project members in AOO. (*) let me just say exactly: marketing for AOO (as the software) not in the name of AOO (as the project), because the PrOOo box is not not a (official) part of the project (**) www.prooo-box.org Greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
