<PRE>This is by way of an introduction and putting my hand up
I've been the MarCon (Marketing Contact) for New Zealand for OOo since about 
2005 and been around the OOo project since the early days.  

My original introduction to Linux was Mandrake 8.0 but became a little 
disenchanted with it around the 10.1 period and I moved to SuSE, however I've 
always been a fan of many of the features that made it unique.

I have long wished for a true community driven, Desktop  RPM distribution that 
is Simple End-User friendly.  MCC set Mandrake/Mandriva apart for 
unsophisticated users and I think that forking at this point is great.

Obviously my strength is in marketing and training and I'd like to get a 
Mageia  marketing project of the ground right now, gather together some like 
minded marketing enthusiasts and take Mageia to a world of new users.

A marketing project would be useful to the project at this juncture to create 
branding, formulate a strategic market plan, source graphic art and build 
community.

If there is general agreement with this proposal, I would then like to request 
a marketing ML so we can keep the prattling about strategies and branding and 
logos and all that stuff off the devs list. I have server space available to 
set up a marketing Wiki and Art repository and for Docs as well if required.

Cheers
GL
