update for http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/contacts.html
Hi,
I noticed a reference in the readme file to this page [1] with marketing
contacts. I think we have to update this page, any volunteers?
Or any other opinion where the readme should point to ...
"....
Joining one or more Projects
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make major contributions to this important open source project
even if you have limited software design or coding experience. Yes, you!
At http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html you will find projects
ranging from Localization, Porting and Groupware to some real core
coding projects. If you are not a developer, try the Documentation or
the Marketing Project. The OpenOffice.org Marketing Project is applying
both guerilla and traditional commercial techniques to marketing open
source software, and we are doing it across language and cultural
barriers, so you can help just by spreading the word and telling a
friend about this office suite.
You can help by joining the Marketing Communications & Information
Network on http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html where you can
provide point communication contact with press, media, government
agencies, consultants, schools, Linux Users Groups and developers in
your country and local community.
We hope you enjoy working with the new OpenOffice.org 3.4 and will join
us online.
The OpenOffice.org Community
..."
Maybe some people can review the README in our binary release and give
some feedback.
I have already removed the "registration" and "survey" part. And I have
updated the mailing lists section ;-)

thanks Kay, I will take a further look to the README. I think there is
some general cleanup work necessary for the future.

juergen, Rob--
It looks like http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/contacts.html has been
modified appropriately.
I will remove the contacts from
http://projects.openoffice.org/index.htmltoday sometime and add back
the Marketing project under the Promotion icon
(looks like we lost it somehow.)
re changes to the current README, please see my suggestion below (one line
added -- bolded)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make major contributions to this important open source project even
if you have limited software design or coding experience. Yes, you!
At http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html you will find projects ranging
from Localization, Porting and Groupware to some real core coding projects.
If you are not a developer, try the Documentation or the Marketing Project.
The OpenOffice.org Marketing Project is applying both guerilla and
traditional commercial techniques to marketing open source software, and we
are doing it across language and cultural barriers, so you can help just by
spreading the word and telling a friend about this office suite.
You can help by joining the Marketing Communications & Information Network
on http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html where you can provide
point communication contact with press, media, government agencies,

Discuss, but IMHO - JFDI - Any committer is empowered to make this change. Simply navigate to the page and start the bookmarklet.
If the time the CMS took in the past has put you off then I would suggest that you try it again. Joe is continuing to make improvements and the performance should not be too bad.

I'd be inclined to remove the entire list of marketing contacts from
the websiteand just point everyone to the ooo-marketing mailing list.
For the readme file, this is the page we're using for the "get involved" link:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/get-involved.html
Maybe we make that be the centralized place we direct new volunteers,
and then enhance that page with more info overtime.
