Hello, Bernhard > Hello KAZ (or should I call you Terada-san, I know very little about > Japanese customs), hi all!
KAZ is fine. Everybody around me calls so. > Most of you know me, but let me introduce myself in a few sentences: > I've been one of the most active contributors in the OpenOffice.org Art > project (http://marketing.openoffice.org/art) for several years and tried > all this time to improve the common look and feel for OpenOffice.org > throughout all the visual appearances of our product and our community. > About half a year ago we started a new marketing sub-project, the Branding > Initiative (http://marketing.openoffice.org/brand) in order to establish a > strong and consistent branding for OpenOffice.org.

I've not known those sub-projects, but I'll catch up. Those guidelines are quite necessary specially for global projects. Thanks! > "I've been in the team that updated the central representation of > OpenOffice.org worldwide" (with link to the official credit page) might lead > to more positive reactions than a fund - and to more contributors in future. Exactly! I think this is a core concept of open-source mind. It will be motivation for project members. In addition, additional options beyond the money will be effective. To be honest this is my first experience to participate in open-source project. The organization is not profit-oriented but have to manage itself. This is great. I would like to collaborate with you all.
