Over the > past years, you've formed and shaped the Marketing Project to what it > is today, and your contribution of OpenOffice.org's success is > invaluable.

Many of you know him as experienced OOoCon organizer, as > the top paper reviewer from last year's Call for Papers and as regular > contributor to the Marketing Project and active participant in our > phone conferences. I'm talking about Peter Junge who agreed in taking > over the Marketing Co-Lead role, and has support from his predecessor, > John. I hope you support and welcome him as much as we do and that you > share my positive view on his nomination. > > One of my goals has always been to strenghten the Marketing Project > and to bring its members closer together. We are a worldwide family, > but in these times of changes, it is more important than ever to work > together jointly. One of the first tasks thus will be working on the > Strategic Marketing Plan for the next years, as well as compiling an > agenda to work efficiently. > > Let me finish with: I'm proud of we have achieved so far, and I'm > looking forward to a bright future with all of you.
