OK I have read this. I have read the particular point "publicity activities": "Podlings MUST coordinate with the Apache Public Relations Committee on all publicity activities by a podling." question: Is it possible to "Apache Public Relations Committee" a draft of a German press release to be transmitted so that confirms this? > My reading of this is we cannot just assume "lazy consensus" but we > need to reach out to pr...@apache.org and coordinate with them on any > formal publicity activities. Do I understand correctly that we e.g. _german_ press reports are to discuss pr...@apache.org? Who understands German at pr...@apache.org? I understand that you have "coordinate" said, but "coordinate" needs discuss. And for e.g. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, we need german-language press releases. Here is an example of a press release from de-OOo from the year 2010: http://openoffice.org/projects/de/lists/dev/archive/2010-06/message/15 > However, there are also a range of informal activities that do not > require this additional review, like blog posts, announcements to the > ooo-announce list, social media campaigns, etc. These could be > discussed on the list. OK, but that's not what i mean and what we need first for the national information of users. Let me say it clearly: AOO is in a difficult situation and we should do everything to keep ex-OOo users and attract new users for AOO. AOO is initially a product for end users and not for it-specialists and end users need information such as in magazines (for example http://www.heise.de/ct/inhalt/), and magazines need national-language press releases. greetings Jörg
