[libreoffice-marketing] Australia-New Zealand marketing group?

2010-10-12 Thread Jean Hollis Weber 
If someone thinks Canada is a small market, try Australia -- or New
Zealand! Even together, we're not a large mob. On the other hand, we
really don't fit in with the other English-speaking markets in many
ways, and we do have relevant local events and organisations to
consider, such as Linux.conf.au. So a local marketing group could be
useful -- assuming there are enough of us to form a group.

I am not offering to be a marketing contact; I'm much too busy with
documentation, and I don't like talking being a media contact anyway. 
I do enjoy being a booth being at events and helping out behind the
scenes, and of course as an opinionated senior citizen I can be relied
on to offer my opinion (or in some cases, stir as we call it).

Other than Graham Lauder from NZ, I have no idea how many Aus-NZ people
are active here at TDF. I did notice Alex Fisher's strongly negative
comments on the OOo Marketing list.

Graham and others, what do you think? 

Cheers, Jean

  Dave, that comment might be better made in the other thread about a US
  or North American marketing group, not this thread about ANZ--just so it
  doesn't get lost or overlooked.

 Now hold on there - didn't I see an email where you guys where going to
 annex Hawaii. I've been thinking about that, OK, but if you want HI, you
 gotta take Paw Paw, West Virginia also, we get Papua, New Guinea and an
 island to be named later.
 
 If you agree - then all that's left is the pinky shake.

Alright OKOKOK you can keep Hawaii just don't give us anything of west 
Virginia, we only wanted Hawaii  for conference anyway, I was a Lost fan 
(until the last episode) and I just wanted to nosy about the beach to see if I 
could find the hatch. .
