I'm just going to reply to this post because I wouldn't know which
dissenting post to reply to. I don't know if I've seen a marketing post out
of the past 200-odd posts I've received. Whereas promoting OpenDocument
format is definitely beneficial to the success of open office, I think a lot
of these posts (mine included) contribute nothing to the furthering of
OpenOffice.
I'm not sure how to put this softly, so take it for what it is. I don't mean
to be insulting or mean, but...:
All I've heard so far is a bit of MS-bashing and real-world reality
checks. I don't know if this is the norm, but so far I've seen one
potential marketing point: "Maybe OpenOffice should spotlight this petition"
which I'm really more inferring than quoting and none of the responses
addressed OpenOffice's reaction or what that reaction should be.
All lists go off on tangents and I haven't been around long. I will
assume that's exactly what this was, but either way, I'm being the voice of
reason to please gear conversation back to marketing OpenOffice.

Subject: Re: [Marketing] Demand OpenDocument! Sign the petition.
Folks, folks, folks.
Sorry, don't take this as a rant, but let me bring you some news from
the outside.
OpenOffice.org has release OpenOffice.org 2.0
Check the pages of the Marketing Project if you wish to know more about it.
I would like to remind you that you're all in favor of FLOSS, of OOo,
and that you're trying (with some hassle, however) to evaluate how
effective signing the petition of the private consortium
OpendocumentFellowship could be in letting Microsoft know that you want
to use the OpenDocument format.
Your discussion, although interesting from a theoretical point of view,
is hence more suited to lists such as [email protected] .
What's more, your constant chatter is hindering the work of the
Marketing Project.
Thank you for your understanding and my season's greetings.
Charles-H.Schulz.
