my opinions follow - so I don't have write IMO 10 times...*smile*

- If you lobby your local government for FOSS (even if LibreOfficee is
included) then I would not consider that as working on this project.

- If you write a lot of blogs that advocate FOSS and LibreOffice I also
would not count that.

- If you you go to shows/events/fairs and you "work the halls", that is
not working for this project, even if you mention LibreOffice a lot.

- if you do that AND you also are active on the MLs here, you are on the
marketing conference calls and you pitch in to help write and execute a
marketing plan. Then you _are_ working on the project.

-- I think that is how I would put it, but it could be refined no doubt.
