Thanks for creating the page, but ... I will not be attending Berlin as 
I doubt very few Americans (South, Central or North) will have the 
funding abilities to do so. Secondly, unlike what the subject line of 
discussion "Defining a marketing strategy" of this thread, the wiki page 
states:

"Note that there is not a section about 'product strategy' or 
'development direction' as that is a whole different issue and does not 
belong here.

Note again: Nothing here has any commitment to it yet, if you want to 
see it implemented, commit yourself and make us love your idea in Berlin! "

A clear indication that this will not be a serious exercise for those of 
us who do wish to speak to the topic of strategy (again, Italo would 
have to take part in the discussion as we have all agreed that he leads 
in the area of marketing for the project).

If you are looking for marketing ideas, there are over 12 months, and 
more, of good ideas on the marketing section, and, it would only take 
for a person to collect them in one area -- which has already been done 
"Marketing wiki pages" <-- I did made an effort of keeping the wiki 
pages organized as best as possible and have committed to re-organize 
the pages.

If this were a serious attempt at "Defining a marketing strategy", I for 
one would hope that the group would have seriously examined the 
marketing pages and were familiar with its contents and then perhaps 
made an initial note of what has already been spoken of by the community.

It seems to me, that, given the short amount of time the LiboCon 
provides to members who are in attendance, it would be far better to 
arrive with at least some framework of defining marketing strategy 
already in play. To do this, and to keep the discussion topic focused, 
requires committed participants.

Cheers,

Marc
