Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction
I'm very marketing oriented (it's my field of study), but learning at least the gist of other fields sounds quite interesting!

What kind of cultural changes are you referring to?

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction
Not in particular, is there a great need for something in particular? I'm pretty open! If there's anything involving numbers/statistics, research, or something like that (the "back" side of marketing, I guess you might call it), that's likely where I can be the most useful :-) On Feb 8, 2016 9:57 AM, "Sophie" <gautier.sop...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Harold, > Le 08/02/2016 15:45, Harold Schreckengost a écrit : > > I'm very marketing oriented (it's my field of study), but learning at > least > > the gist of other fields sounds quite interesting! > > Great!

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction
I've not had any real experience in the field, so "no bad habits to unteach" here! Honestly, I like working on a small budget - more space to be creative and optimize (I'm a sucker for a problem of optimization). If there are any projects that may be of special interest, please, by all means, point me at them!
