Re: [libreoffice-marketing] New header image for social media channels
I agree with Charles. The header image with the icons is clean and professional (nice work!) but the image should convey the message - even without words. As for the message itself, we seem to have overlooked the fact the LO6 is compatible, flexible, and a viable alternative to other closed, propriety products.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] New header image for social media channels
>> we need to say what we are at the beginning, with no ambiguity, but Yes. I agree. My concern was that we could mention to whom it would be useful. LibreOffice is more than a software and it is a philosophy like democracy to which I could relate it the most. That is why I added, "For the Humanity/World" similar to "For the people By the people Of the People" used to represent democracy.

But then "Free office suite, made by a community, for you to join" doesn't express why either... It just says that you can do it. We could try "Free office suite, made by a community – join us and help to improve it" but then we go back to much longer text...
