Hi LibreOffice Marketing Team This is my first time volunteering for LibreOffice. I started using computers in high school in 2009, and now I am a software engineer, using R mainly, and a bit of Python and SQL. I use Ubuntu about 99% of the time, for example Ubuntu Desktop on my desktop and laptop. I haven't used any MS Office subscription for two years already. I am quite passionate about Office being a waste of money, which is what is driving me to help contribute to the success of LibreOffice. I am intending on starting with the marketing side first, as my programming languages are high-level.
I see that you have guidelines about going to conferences, but my concern is about reaching the mass of people who aren't experts on the computer. I feel that there would be a lot of value in using social media well. Facebook is getting old (I say this while I actively administrate a few Facebook groups with over 15 000 members each), but I find LinkedIn professional and a high-quality social media platform. I see that the LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/libreoffice/posts/?feedView=all only has one post, and I am willing to be added to the team for the LinkedIn page, so that posts can be created more frequently. I also think a WhatsApp Channel would be a fantastic way to reach young people. A WhatsApp Channel scales very well, includes analytics, and is very easy to use. For clarification, this is the definition of a WhatsApp Channel: https://faq.whatsapp.com/549900560675125 . I am not talking about a Community for the public. To give an example of how this can scale, the World Economic Forum has over two million followers on its WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDcHBKGZNCihKxwiD0L Kind regards 🙂, Aidan Horn www.aidanhorn.co.za Calendar <https://calendly.com/aidan-horn/> -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
