Hi :) Mostly +1 but youthful energy and optimism can be a huge bonus too. Meetings with powerful external organisations might benefit from having 2 or maybe 3 people. Ideally with some sort of rough game-plan in advance of the meeting so that a united front can be shown while still showing off diversity a bit.

Changing people all the time is not good. When someone needs to contact LibreOffice, it is easier if the names of people from marketing non-constant changes. Not to defend a kingdom. - The persons to be chosen in each country must be mature and have a certain diplomacy to handle the affairs of The Foundation Document. People who are not mature and untimely is not good for the Community and TDF LibreOffice. A marketing person should have a TDF and not a concern of marketing personnel, which is dangerous to the TDF. - When I say that one must be mature and diplomacy. In the case of Brazil, often in the case of the former BrOffice had meetings with the Federal Government, State and Municipal governments and also with large public companies such as Petrobras, Itaipu, Brazil's Bank, Savings Bank, ministries and many agencies sized. In this sense needs to be a person with diplomatic and mature profile. - In countries like Brazil, which has a very large size, I propose that we have people from marketing a regional and general staff level in the country. I'm expressing these ideas, because I believe that we must be cautious in defining the marketing people. It is the image of TDF and LibreOffice what is at stake, we can not define people by instinct or stand as a candidate to do so. We need criteria. Regards, P.S. sorry for my English, I just wanted to state my ideas. *Furusho, Vitorio* Activist Free Software, ODF and LibreOffice ODF Alliance Award<http://www.odfalliance.org/blog/index.php/site/odf_alliance_awards/> Free Software Furusho <http://softwarelivre.org/furusho> LibreOffice <http://broffice.org/> Membro da The Document Foundation <http://www.documentationfoundation.org/> -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
