Graham, We shared different opinions in the past, but I think we speak the same language in this case. I've noticed a "OpenOffice.org Migration and training Consultant." on your signature, so eventually I assume that you know that for most people openoffice isn't really about code or project management, but about other issue, the tool provided
I wrote it probably in a very raw and superficial way. I don't knwo the structure of the openoffice community neither their inner problems. I honestly don't care, but I do care about the success of a free office suit that can provide good contents. OpenOffice did it, at least for Portuguese the Dictionary and Thesaurus (which were community contributions) were far superior than any comercial product I know out there. This part of the community, probably agnostic to code, is loosing with such fork. That's the concerning part, alongside with an image that took a long time to build. I'm sure Libre and Open Office have already a batallion of people far smarter than I do to sort this things out. I hope so. Trully do. How's your time Graham? You are native english speaker, which is nice, and since your field is marketing as well, would be interested in working a marketing article along with me on the subject and submit it to the "Journal of Marketing"? It's a long shot to get it approved, but we could try :) nelson On Fri, 2010-10-29 at 01:46 +1300, Graham Lauder wrote: > Firstly I saw no real criticism, I thought Nelson's blog summed up > the > situation from Marketing perspective quite well, everything he > poisnted out we > are quite aware of. > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
