Consultants Directory: Update and Help Needed
So here's where we are with the consultants listing: 1) XLST script, data file, strings for en and it are checked in under ooo-site/content/bizdev/consultants 2) Announcement to ooo-dev/ooo-users/forums/twitter/google+/facebook (but not ooo-announce since that is almost all end-users) 3) Blog post 4) I also went through the legacy consultant listings and reviewed the websites of the English-speaking entities. Where one appeared to still be relevant I sent them an email and pointed them to the new listing instructions and invited them to submit a new listing. This was a judgement call, but generally if the website was still up and I found an explicit mention of OpenOffice services then I considered it relevant. But if it was just a generic IT services company with no mention of OpenOffice then I did not send an invite. Of course, nothing prevents them from submitting a listing, and if they do we review it like any other. 5) What we have so far is here: http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html Note, there are more coming. One was posted to the list today that I need to check in. And there are a few more were I was emailed that they were interested and would submit a listing. So areas where I could use help: 1) Reviewing the non-English legacy consultants for relevant ones who should be invited. German, French, Italian and Spanish volunteers are especially needed. If you can help I can send you a spreadsheet of the websites and an English version of my invitation note. Maybe 30 or so per language. 2 (less urgent) At some point we might enable the automatic generation of the HTML from the XML + XSLT. Since I don't speak Perl I'm going to need someone else to tackle this. Thanks! -Rob

Just post a quick request in English to ooo-progetto-it: I'll moderate it through, adding a brief explanation, and we will surely find volunteers who can take care of this. Regards, Andrea.
