Thanks, S. FYI, the marketing team had started work on this -- conference kits.[1] I have not updated these pages in a while due to health problems but am getting slowly getting back to work on these. Although out of date (Italo has left a note on this page), the outline is still valid but the materials links need to be updated. The marketing team also discussed ways of distributing kits throughout regions, especially in the US and seeding the US with regional kits containing table covers, vinyl banners, generic leaflets, flyers, sample LibreOffice books, t-shirts and other swag etc. There was also talk of sourcing the swag at some regional suppliers.These kits would be dispatched where request would be made for them and from there the kits would be stored to be later dispatched to the next requested function. The idea is that the kits would then be replenished through raised funds at functions and any extra funds would help create more kits for despatch to other functions. Eventually, there would be enough kits in various regions to cover smaller territory. You will find some of the discussion on the US-marketing list if you filter the list on the word kit or drew or marc pare or swag or shirt.. These were not implemented pretty well because there was no established mechanisms for funding -- lack of financial funding outside of Europe is a serious problem and needs to be addressed, especially in the Americas. The other hurdle, is that there is also no established marketing roles for these areas (something like the previous OpenOffice marcon lists). I know that there is talk of establishing roles but it is really a question of which comes first. I would prefer seeing roles established first and then work on regional kits, and strategic marketing projects for under-serviced regions where LibreOffice is still not really well-known (this includes the US). AND, ahem ... on a technical point, hopefully, if someone could fix the WYSIWYG editor for the wiki, this would really help out with moving updates on the wiki for people who are not familiar with wiki-text!

Although out of date (Italo has left a note on this page), the outline is still valid but the materials links need to be updated. That's great work you're describing, thanks Marc. I look on this as a stop-gap while all those more formal official arrangements are sorted out - I'm very happy for all the work done on it to merge into this official stuff once it's back to full operational power! But I'd not want us to miss out on being able to help local events like the one Danishka told us about but we weren't able to help with, hence my offer here to organise something ad-hoc using what we have now and Jean's willingness to find funding. If you have designs ready to adapt then it should be relatively easy for a suitably skilled collaborator to work on them. So, still looking for collaborators to get this up and running quickly!

Hi Marc, someone added my name, but I was not even aware of the presence of such a page. Hmmm, I can't really remember, but, maybe I was the one who left the note as we had gotten too busy with other marketing issues ... I am not sure. I may have left it as a suggestion for anyone trying to improve the online Conference kit pages that checking for final marketing text approval should be OK's by you and that designs should also be OK'd by our design team. Which, of course, should still be the way to operate.
