I'd like to see more attention to "North American Community - what? (Remainder of time)" Presumably the mission of the NA group is what is driving the production of the disc. Having just come off of two expos, it seems to be that much more could be done to increase the visibility of LibreOffice. linuxfestnorthwest.org...we had nice LibreOffice presence...thanks to Dona Hertel, Andy Brown and my insider position (day-of-the-event and volunteer manager). Dona's already provided some information. I was not close enough to the action at the booth to get much detail. Tech Tonic at Western WA University for students, faculty, staff... http://www.wwu.edu/techctr/tech_expo/ I organized the Bellingham LUG appearance. We were right across from Microsoft (They got nothing...Kinect). Anyone interested in technology was stopping by our booth to see Linux running on a laptop and a netbook. We had a variety of apps open, including LibreOffice. And talked with people about LibO. Not many knew about LibO; almost all had at least heard of OOo...easy to communicate. informally...LibO is almost the same technology as OOo. The major difference is that LibreOffice is a community around the technology, while OOo is controlled by a large tech company. If you look at the link to Tech Tonic, you will see that this approach landed well with the participants.
We just need more exposure. Would you like to join the LibreOffice marketing blog? You could then blog on your experiences and these could then be posted on the main LibreOffice blogosphere. If you have a Wordpress account I can add you to the list of bloggers.
