Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [us-marketing] I'm back in the game.
Dave, After our chat I fully support what you are doing. LibreOffice does not have a trademark policy yet, hence it is not against the rules to use it, and you have not bypassed a system which gives authority to use the trademark because it does not exist yet. I second Ben. You are doing a great job and although there are some in the community who communicate aggressively I am sure the bulk of the community will support anyone with good intentions and motivation to get stuff done.

You are creating a valuable service that might be the only possible option some people have to access LibreOffice! -Ben On Dec 28, 2010, at 9:26 PM, Dave Johnson wrote: I'm not going to let a little negative talk dissuade me from fulfilling a need.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibO DVD fulfillment web-page
Hi Dave, Am 28.12.2010 23:35, schrieb Dave Johnson: I am NOT selling the software just a professionally made DVD with a Windows and Macintosh binary. Probably OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 So what is on the DVD you are offering? * LibreOffice has not been released yet. * OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 has not been released yet * Please don´t sell DVDs labeled LibreOffice when OpenOffice.org is on it. * Please don´t sell DVDs with beta state software without telling that it is beta state software. If you mean to support the project by distributing a professionally made DVD on your website, which basically is a good thing, I would like to see a professionally made website as well. And please, for the sake of usability of this list for all readers, please have a look at: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Thank you very much!
