Hi, or - instead of making one video - why not make a challenge, a contest of some type, where people make their own video answering the question: How would you spend your $400? Each submission would be required to end with - Thank You LbreOffice - or some such - maybe ask them to hold up a piece of paper with LibreOffice lettered on it - or whatever they want.. just a thought Drew -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
