I have another idea. I see on all French distributors in the "magazine"
section magazines specialised with a specific distribution ( Fedora or
OpenSuse or ubuntu etc ... ). These provide one CD or DVD with the
distro, some additional packages. The content of the magazine is always
a basic explanation of the installation, use etc ...
Why couldn't we do the same for LibO ? These magazines costs only about
9€ ... Which I don't know what's the equivalent in dollars sorry !
But if they can do it with distros, maybe we can do it with a CD
containing the libO suite, and some softwares from our future partners ?
This is a way to show some visibility without the "formal" and "usually
expensive" Microsoft way to sell his own suite. I think people could
really be interested about it.
Several of us have written for OpenOffice.org magazine special issues that are put out about once
per year by Linux Identity:
http://www.linuxidentity.com/us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5041
They are a French company (with some offices in Poland), but offer the magazines in English. I have
seen them on the shelves of major retailers including Barnes and Noble. The magazine includes a DVD
with the OOo installer and other bonus materials.
This may be what you've seen on store shelves, too. Look around in that same section and let us
know if you see the OOo special edition there. (The latest one even has my picture in it. :)
