Hi :) It would be great to forwards it to the main marketing team market...@global.libreoffice.org and the US/North American one. It might be a good idea to keep my name out of it and also the bit about "Friends of...". TDF has it's own funds. Suggesting getting a 3rd party to pay might result in none of the organisations helping as each think the other is covering it. A lot of the BoD is on the marketing list apparently. Regards from Tom :)
