[marketing] About funding policy and event list

[jza]

I was listening to the call and found that about the budget guidelines conversations about events that you don't give a talk or have a booth. I do think that we need to invest in this "non-participatory" events because usually they are first timers, and it shows an intend to participate in the future. For that reason we need to encourage simply because otherwise we could we just be "preaching to the choir".

If we want to make ourselves present on a government policy meetup, we might 
not be presenting the first event, but definetly could network ourselves up to 
have a participation or sponsorship for the next events.

If we by policy decided not to fund this kinds of events we might get stuck on 
just FLOSS types events which are more relatively simple to participate because 
we represent OOo.

At the same time I think we should also try to talk to Oracle people to see situations where Oracle showcase their products and we can put an OOo expert (Marcon) to attend to this event as a guest to talk a bit about OOo. Again this might not be the easiest but we should try.
