Well do we get input from potential companies that would jump to be sponsors? Who should we be talking to? I think that non-technology organizations could also be sponsoring this. UNESCO could be a respectable partner and will help us break the dialog between FLOSS and Education ONGs. A lot of acceleration programs for society do have a vented interested on providing IT infrastructure to developed nations, however my idea is that they themselves don't know who to address or how. A similar partner could be VARs now that we have Oracle and Sun VARs together, there could be companies that would want to chip in a boot or just ship their developers to see how they can integrate OOo into their custom solutions. Should we do more upstream marketing into Oracle network? Webinar maybe? > a..

We need to involve more people producing this videos. Then we can worry about doing it look great. I would recommend for example, webcam users on linux to use something like Cheese or maybe use the digital cammera as a video recorder, msot people forget their phone shoot video as well (sometimes). Maybe we should do a contest for the best video gets a Netbook and we can open this up as an annoucement outside of the community. Final idea is to join with other bigger megaphone organizations like Linux Foundation, FSF, Linux Journal, etc. > a.. future of the marketing blog > No comment. > > Cheers > Chaosun -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Español IM: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
