Costs, targets, goals and methodologies and then present that to all the corporate partners for a contribution to a war chest. The positive that came out of this debacle is at least we know now that there is a marketing budget to be had. I have always believed that the strength of OOo is in it's mix between community and corporate. We need to leverage that strength. At the moment we're not, the community gets dragged around like the baby of the family: "Sit in the back seat, shutup and don't annoy the adults cos we know best." We need to be more proactive Cheers GL -- Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Moderator New Zealand www.theingots.org.nz GET DRESSED : GET OOOGEAR Gear for the well dressed OOo Advocate www.ooogear.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
