All,
As many of you know, we are working hard and fast on OpenOffice.org 3.3. =
The RC=97RC4=97is out. And it looks, as far as I can tell, quite good. =
This means that the final release is Real Soon Now (RSN).

We, Peter and I, have started a press release on the private marketing =
list pr@, which is open only to registered marketing project members. =
(That's quite a lot, btw.) The MarCons=97the marketing contacts around =
the world=97are poised to translate it and to issue it locally. And to =
promote it. I may have written once that OOo has sold itself, but what I =
meant was that we=97you=97the community=97all of us=97need to be engaged =
and acting together to "sell" and promote it. A diamond in the rough is =
not valuable until it is polished and finds itself reflected in the =
desiring eye's shine.

We, you, the community, make this diamond shine.

What we need from you then is to help us with getting the word out. They =
synchronization is less important than ensuring the basic documents are =
there and accurate.  What I'm working with is the features list of 3.3 =
[0], the old press kit [1], the equally old case for OpenOffice.org =
[2]=97and other material you might want to suggest. For instance, if you =
have a personal story you want to recount, especially from a business or =
education or enterprise perspective, feel free to send it to this list! =
or if you want to work on a short case study illustrating the Why and =
How of OOo=97please! go ahead!

And if someone wants to help coordinate these activities=97again, we =
need your help. I'm asking :-)

Peter is nearly healed, and that is great, but we need more than just =
his hands :-) We need yours.=20

Thanks
