Hi Andy, And this to everyone, there is a wiki which I would encourage everyone to use for this discussion so that we can build some intellectual capital around marketing rather than just having good ideas disappear into the bowels of the mail list server. There are a couple of pages linked from http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Marketing Marketing_campaign_Q3_2007 is the one Florian set up for this discussion Marketing Activities Record is the one I set up to record marketing activities so that we can see what works and what doesn't and thus improve on past activities It's good to see lots of discussion around this but we need to see decisions quickly and we need to see people taking ownership of any tasks that arise out of those decisions We still haven't defined our demographic and target locations... Let's carry this discussion to the Wiki.
