This can be easily updated, what is more dificult is trying to get back some of these marketing jobs, specially sources files. These source files makes editing and generating marketing kits more easily. Other communities like Software freedom day has been pretty good on launching new marketing kits, or images. OOo days, there was also some marketing efforts on presenting a similar design for things. Like the wireframe gull or the waves. unfortunately oracle's brand refresh of just using 'white' left us with only the orb as a design element. Apache hasn't really produce much, even with the logo there are some missing pieces. So I think is important at least to have something like brochure sources, newsletters, and such to be able to pull together some marketing efforts. > > >> >> Nancy Web Design >> Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com. >> Video courses on SEO, CMS, >> Design and Software Courses >> >> >> >> >> ________________________________ >> From: Albino B Neto <bin...@apache.org> >> To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org >> Sent: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 5:54 PM >> Subject: Re: Marketing events >> >> Hi >> >> I'm from Brazil and there various events: FISL, LatinoWare, Revista >> Espirito Livre and others spread throughout BR. >> >> You could have a fund for member "official" AOO, so you can attend the >> AOO speaking, lecturing, talking etc..
