my opinions follow - so I don't have write IMO 10 times...*smile* - If you lobby your local government for FOSS (even if LibreOfficee is included) then I would not consider that as working on this project. - If you write a lot of blogs that advocate FOSS and LibreOffice I also would not count that. - If you you go to shows/events/fairs and you "work the halls", that is not working for this project, even if you mention LibreOffice a lot. - if you do that AND you also are active on the MLs here, you are on the marketing conference calls and you pitch in to help write and execute a marketing plan. Then you _are_ working on the project. -- I think that is how I would put it, but it could be refined no doubt. > > Best, > Charles. > > > > Advocating should not. > > > > Working on this project(s) should be the only work that counts. > > +1 > > Charles. > > > > > Thanks, > > > > Drew > > > > > > -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
