Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Forums? (was: Nabble: friend or foe?)
Hi :) Yes, i agree that having 2 different methods of communicating would probably fragment the community. I hadn't thought about it. It might be that the community is large enough that it could allow such fragmentation without much ill effect? Sometimes personality clashes happen that would be solved by one person moving to the other part of the group. At the moment we have emailing lists that can be read in a forum(ish) style by using Nabble. Ubuntu has forums (fora? forii?) that send posts by email to those subscribed.

Hi :) Lol! +1 He does a good job of 1. Putting people off LO and sending them scurrying back to MSO and others 2. Giving them technically correct answers Have you seen "House"? I wonder if that's why user-support for most companies is split into various tiers? 2nd and 3rd tier having far less contact with clients in their average day-to-day but still getting all the juicy problems that few others can handle.

I would like to add more photos to the SilverStripe "photoshuffler" that you see on the page.[1] Would any groups have photos that we could use with the "PhotoShuffler". We need shots of conferences where LibreOffice had a booth, table etc; classes; photos of LibreOffice meeting on bug fixing dates; etc. Action shots are great! If you have photos to contribute, make sure that you have appropriate permissions to publish these on our site. I am not sure how strict we should be about this, but permissions from people appearing in these shots may be important especially in cases where some person is a central figure in the photo (our laws in Canada are pretty strict with respect to this). It would be nice if we had photos from different language groups. Photo size: does not matter, SilverStripe will take care of scaling the image. See more information on this page[2] Get your teams photo on our photoshuffler and get some recognition. Who knows, it may make you famous!!!
