RE: [marketing] Reminder: Call in 50 minutes
Just attended the marketing meeting and learned a lot. Everyone is scattered all over the world. Well, that is just great. I thought about it and feel that the best way to get involved is to introduce myself to all. I am a marketing consultant and salesperson. I specialize in telesales, cold calling and lead generation. I work as a telecommuter finding my own clients. I got involved with OO simply because I needed Excel for some of my clients and tried the 60 trial. I was satisfied and my clients were satisfied until Microsoft hit me with a $500.00 charge to buy the program. I was livid. I thought it was way too much. I started researching alternatives and found OO. I tried to contribute dollars but realized actual contributions in terms of help was valued more. I want to help spread the word. I feel sharing programs is far more advantages to the growth of computer intelligence than one company controlling the computer communication process. Don't get me wrong, I am all for free enterprise but enough is enough. Computer communication was built on a sharing of information process and I think mega, even revolutionary changes can occur if it goes back to its original calling. By the way, to my clients using Excel I came clean and explained I am using OO. Most of them were crushed having spent the money on Excel 7, the rest considered OO a flash in the pan and insisted that they would rather stick with something tried and true. But we all agreed as long as I was getting the work done and getting results that I could use what I want. If there are specific projects open that you feel I could be helpful with please let me know. I talk about OO everyday because now I use it more and more and love that it kept off the Microsoft profit margins and love that it is FREE.

How does that translate to actual number of users? What then is the overall market penetration of the different suites to the actual total of installed desktops? My approach is fairly simple and hopefully not too simplistic so as to be meaningless. I wanted therefore a few others to see what I was up to and for them to have the ability to comment. At this point there isn't anything that I would want to release for general consumption, which is why I used a mailing list not totally open via the archives.

There seem to be a small issue with the spanish locale where Ctrl-E shows as Select All (which is correct) but in reality it centers the text (which is the wrong behavior).
