Hi Charles, all,

Hello all,
first of all, I would like to know who will be at the OOoCON in Lyon.
Second, you will find below a brief agenda of the NLC meeting (different
from the NLC party, more on this later).
Count me in.
This year we will greet as a guest to this meeting Rafaella Braconi,
L10N co lead from Sun. She will discuss the community work around the
G11N efforts and the Sun glossary project.
Anyway, the summary is below but please feel free to add more items you
wish to discuss:
1. State of the Confederation
2. Using the OOo internal wikis in a better way
3. documentation inside the NLC: what should/could be done about it?
4. working with external sites and local initiatives.
I could be wrong, but if I look at the conference shedule I don't see a
better place for the MarCons.
-----from the marketing plan[1]-----
Marketing Contacts (MarCons)
Responsible for participating in creating central resources and then
adapting them to their own geographies/markets - translations, local
market intelligence and promotion; distribution channels to their
geography/market; named contacts for local/specialist press enquiries
about OpenOffice.org, the Project, or the Community in any press
releases; feedback local market information to the Project Leads;
liaison with any Native Language projects key to their areas.
[...]
The Marketing Project and the N-L Projects
The Native-Language (N-L) Projects have proved to be one of the most
successful developments within the Community. In the early days of N-L,
there was a naive view that all the real work of the Community would
take place in projects like Marketing, and the N-L Projects would simply
go off and translate this (and OpenOffice.org) into other languages.
However, the more developed N-L Projects are evolving into microcosms of
the full Community, providing user support, documentation, product
development, localised marketing, etc. Indeed, taken as a whole, there
is arguably more marketing work taking place within all the N-L Projects
than in the central Marketing Project.
This is a healthy development; the challenge for the Project Leads is to
ensure the marketing expertise, collateral, etc being produced within a
specific NL-Project is fed back into the central Marketing Project.

We could invite the MarCons [2] and the (co-)lead of the marketing
project to the NLC meeting.
