My apologies if this is not the correct list for this posting. I am new to marketing for LibreOffice and so welcome any direction or clarification.
Earlier this year I participated in LinuxFest Northwest down in Bellingham, WA, where I had time for a brief chat with the folk at the LibreOffice table. I was at the fest representing the Vancouver Linux Users Group (VanLUG) www.vanlug.bc.ca . This August VanLUG will have a table at LinuxCon NA 2011 here in Vancouver, BC, so I am, naturally, wondering if there will be a LibreOffice representation there? If so, how might I help? If not, how might I help? For more than ten years prior to my retirement in late 2004 I worked in the IT department of a large international not-for-profit organization where I managed an internal help desk serving an office of 200 plus around twenty remote Unix servers across Canada. Later as manager of special projects I assisted in the implementation of Lotus Notes across hundreds of local offices. My last project involved the porting of an internal statistics gathering database from hundreds of stand-alone instances to the Internet. My work in IT started in 1982. Over the years I had seen enough of the development of office suites to be over-joyed when OpenOffice.org came upon the scene. This was especially true after my personal move to using Linux (Ubuntu in my case). Although saddened by the need for the LibreOffice fork I soon realized that as an Ubuntu user I had already been using an enhanced version of OOo. Like many, many folk I have been very impressed with what has happened under the auspices of The Document Foundation hence this rather lengthy self-introduction. Now returning to my original questions, how may I help ensure those attending LinuxCon NA 2001 will get to know LibreOffice and The Document Foundation? Sincerely, Georges Rodier Richmond, BC Canada PS Yes, I function in both of Canada's official languages.
