Hi, as also the news feeds add the topic I would suggest to bring as fast as possible the new marketing strategy. No comment for 6 months will be a nogo.
In addition there are 8 days to find a solution which means enough time. I also would prefer to have some draft's before the decision about a new marketing strategy was done. LibreOffice is a community, so don't come up with an final marketing plan where the community can't give feedback. If needed there could be an additional public board call before Friday, July 17. I think the biggest change has to be done on the LibreOffice.org website which will cost some time. The change in LibreOffice will be minor. There has to be only an decision about a flavour tag (or not). So keep on rolling Andreas_k Am Do., 9. Juli 2020 um 12:03 Uhr schrieb Lothar K.
