First I know that this first idea probably needs to go to the website builiding list but I thought I would throw it out here.
1) There should be an easier link to the mac port page as well as all the other project home pages. 2) Does anyone know of any other office project that runs on Solaris, Linux, Windows, Mac? If not that should be a major feature that we should advertise. "Your company can use the same software on almost all operating systems." etc. 3) I noticed that openoffice.org has a blank page for a store at cafepress.com I don't see a store listed on the website for people to purchase material. Does anybody know who signed up for this store at cafepress.com? If so can we get the store populated with items and put a link on the homepage. 4) We should come up with partnership rewards. Taken from INGOTS something like: Donate any money and you are a "OpenOffice.org Supporter" Dedicate $1,000 a year to the project and you are a "OpenOffice.org Bronze Partner" Dedicate $5,000 a year to the project and you are a "OpenOffice.org Silver Partner" Dedicate $10,000 a year to the project and you are a "OpenOffice.org Gold Partner" Dedicate $15,000 a year to the project and you are a "OpenOffice.org Platinum Partner" The monetary values are probably way off, but it was just for demonstration purposes. Anyways then through these levels we give certain benefits. Plaque, certain size logo on our marketing materials, listed with links on the website or whatever it might be. I am trying to get a yearly thing so it will be easier for them to donate and it will give us a more steady stream of income. Also some of the money could be offset with any donation of code they might do. Are we a registered non-profit organization in the United States? If so, then we can tell them that as a non-profit their dontations are tax-deductible. Usually companies have an acct with a certain limit for tax-deductible donations. This is because they can end up saving more money than they donate if they can move to a lower tax bracket. Adam M. 5) Good donation marketing material. Something that points out why a company would want to donate to this project. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
