And your view might be biased by the French culture. Just compare Telegram groups, Indonesian has almost 1650 members (are they all geeks?) where French has only 15, add no FB group, a dead G+ one, very small Twitter account and I'll avoid speaking about Ask. So it's an overall point of view to be considered here on what we want to achieve. The position saying 'because they are not aware of TDF needs, then they don't care and there should be no change' is exactly what would endangered our projects. As Italo said, it's maybe no the best way to attract contributors, so let's work on a better solution and positive moves for both TDF and users, but better based on statistics and not only good feelings :) Cheers Sophie -- Sophie Gautier sophie.gaut...@documentfoundation.org GSM: +33683901545 IRC: sophi Release coordinator The Document Foundation -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
