From the page: ----- PR manager Currently we almost have no Public Relationship management at all. This should change for the better. Currently almost the only form of PR is "preaching to the choir", since we're having articles on online IT sites (by far most are Linux only !). We should have much more coverage on traditional Windowsish sites and, most importantly, in dead-tree newspapers, to enlighten the general public also known as The Great Unwashed Masses ! ----- Wine users , CodeWeavers & WineX customers could do Previews/Demo's at there local lug meetings as well.. This is what I did a couple months back and it was a huge success there were Windows users at the meeting to see Linux and Win app's being run on Linux ... Also it gives Linux users a look at wine as well. So I suggest that we try to encourage wine users to volinteer to show Wine at there local user groups/Installfest/Computer shows and so on. This is not a PR manager but it is PR...... Tom

I agree. Making Wine presentations at local LUGs can only be a good thing. It can dispel some myths and it might even help Wine recruit new developpers :-) CodeWeavers has actually done a few presentations on "CrossOver and Wine" at local LUGs. I did one recently at the Linux User Group Of Davis (LUGOD, a pretty nice LUG) quite recently. You can find the presentation online at the following URL. http://www.lugod.org/presentations/crossover/ Feel free to check it out and use it as inspiration if you want to make a presentation (credit to CodeWeavers appreciated if you use significant portions of it <g>). -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)codeweavers.com

Hi Thomas,
Hi Francois, Thanks I had a 14 page .ppt slide show. Since were talking about this *great* winehq site update. What do you people think about a small ... LUG resources page for people who are interested in doing presentations ? I am going to take some Vacation day's from my job next week. And catch up on some things.. So I should have some time to put into this :) Thomas

We might find a place to put it but I am not sure we should: the web site must remain focused otherwise it becomes bloated and harder to navigate for everyone. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape around here somewhere...
