Hi *,

disclaimer, I'm not active in marketing, just lurking, but for
completeness' sake

I'd like to add

Problems dialing in?

to the list of questions.

If  the answer is "yes", would openmeetings or mumble (i.e. internet
based solutions instead of telephone-line based ones) be an
alternative for you?
(we got testing servers for both so you can play with them see
http://www.mail-archive.com/website@global.libreoffice.org/msg05142.html
on how to access them)

ciao
Christian

Just came at a bad time for me with pressure of work. But I will try to
participate more :-)

I didn't attend the last meeting simply because it fell on a major 
holiday.  Prior to that, I'd been attending the NA marketing meetings & 
lurking on lists to get a better feel for the org (I'm new to major FOSS 
projects).


Looking forward, I imagine I'll be attending these meets in the future.

[libreoffice-marketing] making the confcalls more attracting

Hello,

the participation in the latest marketing conference calls hasn't been
that overwhelming. :/

With this e-mail, I would like to discuss on how we can make these calls
more attracting. Those who did not attend, I would like to ask, on why. :-)

Calls occur too often? Too rarely?
Calls are too long? Too short?
Boring content?
Language barrier?
Wrong time(zone)?
Calls just don't fit our way of working?

I'm not blaming anyone, I just would like to get information on why the
participation rate is so low. If we end up with calls being useless,
that's okay, but I would like to avoid planning and organizing such
calls, when the interest is rather low. We might end up with solely
using the mailing list, or IRC, or Skype - that's what I want to find out.

So, I'd like to ask for your humble opinion on that. If you prefer, you
can also reply offlist via private mail.

Thanks!
Florian
