With many companies they will include advertising in e-mails or SMS that are sent without specific user consent. Examples of this are, Sent using X, Y, or Z hardware, or something similar. With each e-mail that includes a PDF authored by myself, which is the way I prefer to write, I include the following text in the last section of the e-mail after the closing and before the legal notifications. Cool - so I take you run some type of email newsletter or newsletters, yes? Well, I think it's wonderful that you use, like and want to promote the package and OSS in general. I suppose, were I being a bit picayune-ish there are a few small things I would point out. The name is LibreOffice, one word. It is a registered trademark and should be treated as such. So if I may suggest a small change in wording: [see below your original text] The attached PDF file was created and exported using Libre Office, a Free Open Source office suite that is the product of an international collaboration for the Digital Commons and that of Open Source .

The result of these efforts is such that the quality and dedication is beyond what any salaried employee of any major corporation could ever be monetarily motivated to deliver. The Digital Commons and that of Open Source Software, forms the foundation for true unrestricted creativity and value-adds, artistically, economically, and intellectually. The Digital Commons and that of Open Source Software, does not hold progress and innovation captive to the legal force of restrictive licensing agreements. This is about unrestricted Liberty, the future, longevity, and the highest possible evolution of true achievements.

Regards, Andreas Thanks for doing this. It looks great. I too do not think that past events calendar event be deleted. We should use our past events as reference for future dates. I would also favour a website-based calendar as this is the landing point for most users. About the Silverstripe calendar: when I checked into it a while ago, it did not seem to fit some of the criteria that I thought would be important for a useful calendar. A useful events calendar, as well as being able have all the regular input fields for an events calendar, should also offer one of these two abilities: -- able to categorize events -- when inputting events, we should be able to choose the language and/or various other categories such as TDF Board meeting, conferences, Plugfests, etc. Users could then filter their calendar views as needed. OR -- able to add other calendars into a master calendar where a user could switch on/off the calendar view. This is done extremely well with Google Calendar. Having one or the other of these abilities would give the project all the flexibility it would need. At this point, I would favour embedding a master LibreOffice Google Calendar and the various other sections of LibreOffice (TDF SC; Developer; Design; Documentation; Marketing as well as the other language groups) would create their own calendars and the main international calendar could add-on the calendars the other section calendars. Then same could be done with the other language groups. One of the advantages of using the Google Calendar is that we can make the calendar public and other groups would be able to embed our calendar into their sites. This, from the point of view of marketing, would also help us disseminate on a larger scale, any of the LibreOffice events. This, to me, would permit the needed flexibility in events calendering needed by the project. Google Calendar also permits the admin of calendars by many individuals. I don't believe we would have any problems getting help with getting administrative help from our membership as many of us would have enough experience at inputting events into a Google calendar.
