I agree. Even though the actual even is on a specific day we'll get more notice if we start a few days ahead of time. > I could create a small page about AOO and DFD and what it means to us. > Much like the download page, we can assign the social platform meta-data > image and text to the one we're promoting AOO with.

Anything that we can do to turn it into a two-way engagement/sharing will be more effective than simply broadcasting information in a single direction. For example, with IMLD, the actual blog post did not get much of a response, but a simple Facebook post asking the question "How do you say 'free software' in your Mother Language?" got 45 comments, 44 likes, and 2 shares. > - - - - - > PAGE META DATA > [Image=AOO-DFD-Doodle.png] > [Title="Apache OpenOffice celebrates DFD, learn more here."] > [Text="AOO is committed to support ODF standards so that everyone can > access their information independent of the tools and suites they use. > Learn more here."] > > IN TYPICAL OO.org PAGE TEMPLATE > [Short brief about what it means to us.
