Best, Charles. I definitely like this approach better than that of just peddling a product. Our community are the crown jewels of the project! I have thought at times that perhaps we should market ourselves, as you have already mentioned on another thread, THE TDF/LibreOffice project. The LibreOffice banner then representing our community and not the product (I was happy to hear you express this thought). At times, I have thought of suggesting we change our approach to marketing the project as a community of users who develop a product for their own use. So, in this instance, the community develops the LO product for their own personal use and people interested in using the product would join the community to take advantage of the LO product. In essence, users would automatically be considered LO community members by default (we would have to find a way to register the new members in some very minor way). This would make all users part of the community -- a sort of community registration process where the user affirms her/his wish to use our community software ... to which we would always agree. This would also apply to enterprises, institutions etc. Anyway, a little more radical than the process you suggest.
