There are numerous to-dos, to start with; these can be combined to a general plan, as other projects have them. We can certainly contact companies, but I would like to see us focus on contacting them with a set of specifics in mind--case studies, as well as queries on what they may want. This takes some effort on the part of this group. > >> In contrast, my impression is that to get any consistent >> contribution (however defined) one needs really to contact the other >> companies.

I really don't get the '''things move >easier'''. How are things gonna move easier? I get the sense that we >are talking about two different things, one is recruting and the other >is about contributing. It is not about increasing the BizDev base. It is about getting good data and information that can then be later used for marketing and expanding OOo's usage in business. Further, and this is very important, it is about getting companies to consider contributing resources to OOo. For all this, we need to contact them, and that requires some effort, for there is always follow up to be done. > > >-- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish >http://es.openoffice.org/ > best Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
