Hi,
The OO.o and Lightning release date went closer.
I am in contact with Rafael Ebron Mozilla's international marketing he
is also interested in cross promoting OO.o.
Following initiatives was not rejected in my first mailing end of June
* Announced in the OpenOffice.org Newsletter
* Announcement on news.openoffice.org along with the 3.0 announcement
* Mentioned on the OO.o product/features page (with real live example)
* OpenOffice.org Solutions page
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Solutions)
Not finally discussed where a promotion link on download.openoffice.org
It is safe to say that an integration or bundling with OO.o is not planned.
Is this summary correct so far?
Nether mind I would link re-initiate the discussion about promoting
Thunderbird +Lightning on the download page of OO.o, which is in my
opinion the most prominent place for a promotion.
We might start also a discussion how OO.o could be promoted by the
Mozilla Thunderbird team. Adding an OpenOffice.org pointer on the
Thunderbird page might be an option.
Finally we could arrange a telephone conference to discuss the basics
Regards
Kay

Hi,
This is the plan, there will be a Lightning version available, the
same as we plan to bundle with StarOffice.
are there also plans to bundle or at least link to it from OOo 3?
Maybe at the end of the setup? I don't know if we should go this far,
as we never did that before with other products out of good reasons -
however, this doesn't prevent us from linking to it prominently from
our website.
I am in contact with David Ascher (CEO Mozilla MailCo) and with the
Mozilla Thunderbird engineering. They like the idea for a cross
promotion, so we should get the backing from MailCo, too.
That's great!

* Promotions by local OO.o Markting Projects on the local OO.o pages,
Tradeshows and Conferences
I'd leave that up to the local MarCons, but we can at least provide
them with material. For my area (Germany), I'd definitely go for it.
In fact, on trade shows, we already advertise the combination of
TB+Lightning+OOo.
* Download link on download.openoffice.org
Same problem as above - we never went this far before. I personally
don't have a problem with it, but I'd like to hear other's opinions as
well.

Florian, I know Jane, I can ring her if you want or we can organize a
confcall with you. Would you like to do this?
I know Jane as well, we chat every now and then. ;-) A ConfCall would
be a good idea. I'm not available until July, so let's wait what
others think and then we maybe could arrange a ConfCall with some OOo
people and some from Mozilla to do some brainstorming?
Florian
