Obviously, AOSS has the obvious corporatocracy advantages of the big
ones. They will play with marketing tricks all the time, because big
corps are hypocrite and want to destroy Free Software in a parasite
way and consider non-bsd copyleft (GPL, LGPL...) as the enemy to
monopolies and they are really true.

So the best way of LibreOffice to fight is to show it's a lot better
project, able to satisfy a very wider audience that even may not be
commercially interesting for big corps. I say not just features, but
also getting it optimized to run on low end platforms (or old
computers) and others.

Another good thing is to make a code sharing alliance with other
copyleft office suites or word processors, specially in the matter of
file format support. This way, more people would collaborate on having
an *A LOT* better support of Microsoft Office file formats (for
example).

LibreOffice competitors aren't just Microsoft Office, but AOO and
other office suites and word processors. So forces should be joined,
to make the free software office suite and word processing ecosystem
stronger.

Of course, guerrilla marketing is the best way. Worldwide meetings,
collaboration with NGOs, free LibreOffice courses...

Is it true that AOO is not going to have the same numbering system for its
version, like LO is using?  I have seen "advertisements" for AOO in articles
that talk about AOO v4.  If they skip all of the 3's and go to the version
name "4", then it may look like LO is behind them, when it was LO who moved
far ahead of them in the past year.

Could there be a system setup where you collect email addresses to send out
a notice for the next release of LO, or maybe add some simple function where
if there is access to the Internet, it would look online for what version is
available and tell the user that there is a new version out for them to try?
 It could be performed once a week, bi-weekly, or monthly.  You would have
to have both a function as part of LO and a data file online that shows
which version are currently in final release.

For those of you that use the latest version of Linux, I hope your
repositories will reflect the newest LO version within a month of the
release.  I still use Ubuntu 10.04 on most of my systems, so its repository
still used the old OOo 3.x as its default office package.  I do have a
Ubuntu 12.04/MATE install on a laptop, but I do not use it often.

Marc,

The brand name and the automatic upda notification do help, obviously.

Best,

Charles.

"Fastest Growing Projects
Each month I get a report of the fastest growing projects for the month.
Often, they contain an equal mix of familiar and new. This usually means
that the familiar projects have pushed out a new release, and that the
new
projects have been discovered by a new audience.

This month, these are the top ten growth projects:

Apache OpenOffice: A wonderful multiplatform and multilingual office
suite.

KeePass Password Safe: KeePass - A free open source password manager.

aMSN: MSN compatible messenger application. ..."

Cheers,

Marc
