And that's part of the problem. We need AOO-german nationals to work on transfering that communication into english (not only translate but present it). Otherwise we are behind a language paywall (and yes I know Gtranslate is good for german but still is more than translation) is context. > > > a lot of links on wikipedia: > http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux > >> We can start working on some online campaign, raise a website, create >> some open discussions about what is happening in germany. > > I think this is not particularly effective.

People at the TDF are very active in germany marketing team, yet in AOO camp, marketing hasn't been a priority which bring us back to questioning what's the aim of AOO for pushing it's brand value into organizations. Unfortunately Apache cares a lot about avoiding being un-represented more than the succes of the project. I think is important to evaluate the future of AOO beyond the scope of development. > > > Greetings, > Jörg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: marketing-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: marketing-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor 882C 4389 3C27 E8DF 41B9 5C4C 1DB7 9D1C 7F4C 2614 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: marketing-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: marketing-h...@openoffice.apache.org
