This is true, but on the other hand no one is promoting ODF, and Document Freedom Day - while important - has an awareness close to zero outside the free software environment. I think that we should propose a global promotion strategy based on a few actions (starting from an ODF icon set, which is sorely missing), and if no one follows us then we have the legitimate option of taking it over. In the past, this task was given to the ODF Alliance, but with the demise of the ODF Alliance it is unfortunately true that ODF is slowly becoming less and less popular. Of course, to avoid being accused of hijacking the ODF promotion by the usual suspects, we can have FSF and FSFE launch the campaign (and host the relevant pages). We can ping John Sullivan and Karsten Gerloff about this idea, and get their opinion as well. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - sip/jabber it...@libreoffice.org skype italovignoli - hangout/jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
