Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Linux Magazine LibreOffice special -- copies to give away
Hi everyone, I suggest placing the magazines in cool, eclectic art/design gift shops and book shops around the world. Get the artist / designer community hooked on to Libre Office. They pay quite a bit to use their creative softwares and materials - Libre Office would be a nice change for them, especially if it's well-designed. Maybe future editions can feature a fold-out art poster. Cheers, B.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Infographic 'Changing Face of LibreOffice' part II
Hi Drew, I'm a copywriter and also on the LibreOffice marketing group. I've tried to set up an account on Next Cloud but am unable to. Is it possible for you to share a JPG with me so I can suggest changes to the copy? Who is our target audience for this piece? In what places will it appear - online and offline? Regards, Bhairavi.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] what can I do for... LibreOffice
Hey Redon, Thanks, I will be happy to collaborate on projects. When is the call? Sorry I've forgotten. :) Across projects, for the copy to be effective, it'd be great if someone took on the role of Creative Director. Also could we have a tech person on board to read through drafts for accuracy? B.
