I suggest that we have a global event like "software freedom day" or
"document freedom day". That is having events celebrating the
anniversary everywhere around the world in the same day. All organizers
of the event should register the plan in a wiki and may get some
materials like a few official tea-shirts.

Hello,
as you all may be aware, this year we will be celebrating our 10th
anniversary -- ten years of OpenOffice.org, ten years of open
standards, open document format(s) and a free office suite.
We definitely should not miss the opportunity of telling the world
what great things we have done over the past couple of years. A 10
year anniversary only occurs once, so let's not miss the opportunity!
One idea that came up at the latest marketing confcall was to do some
sort of countdown, i.e. activities beginning at OOoCon in September
and ending on our birthday, October 13th. One possibility would be to
have something twice a week: Every Monday, we show a
business/governmental use case, and every Friday, we share something
personal -- community members tell why they are engaged with
OpenOffice.org, how they got involved, what they like about it, what
their visions for the future are etc. (My spontaneous naming idea was
"Freedom Friday", but I guess I've catched that somewhere, as it's
already taken...)
What do you think about it? This might also help in bringing Rosana's
video idea back into the marketing work. We all agreed that videos are
a great idea, so this would be a nice opportunity... ;)
