I'm a little non-plussed by the title that I have been assigned by the 
OpenOffice.org marketing project team. I took a deep breath last week and 
started to use it as described. It essentially means that I am the point 
person or contact for enquiries relation to OpenOffice.org :)

OpenOffice.org is an exciting open source project in which to be involved. 
Not being a programmer or interested in computer hardware (I get to play 
with electronics bits in my work), I decided to become a contributor to the 
OpenOffice.org project. I started with documentation, got drawn into 
marketing, and now Q&A.

Currently, OpenOffice.org is being shown at CEBIT, Hannover. We are sharing 
Sun Microsystems' booth where they are demonstrating StarOffice 6.0. There 
has been considerable interest in OpenOffice.org, even tho' we don't have 
CDs to give away and we currently only have the English version loaded 
(there is a German version). The StarOffice 6.0 CDs that Sun are giving 
away are a time-out demo, pending the release of StarOffice 6.0. The goss 
from the Sun booth, is that StarOffice will probably retail for less than 
100 Euros.

OK, putting my OpenOffice.org Marketing Communications & Information 
Director's hat on here, are there any PLUGgers that would be interested in 
completing an online survey or questionnaire related to OpenOffice.org ? 
Please contact me offlist if you would like to participate.

I am excited to be part of the OpenOffice.org global marketing team. There 
is an engineering team too, and I think this project demonstrates how both 
engineering and marketing co-exists to make the product a success - even in 
open source projects.

All the best
Jacqueline
