Florian Effenberger, Rory McDonald, Hubert Wiest, Nasser Ghanemzadeh join OSMPA

Day2 again brought us really interesting new members for our “Λ-Team”:

• Florian Effenberger, in his own words: My name is Florian Effenberger, and I’m Marketing Project Co-Lead for OpenOffice.org. One of my responsibilities is the contact to the press and organizing the OpenOffice.org booths at various trade shows. The idea of exchanging minds and thoughts with other people involved in the marketing of open source sounds interesting! Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I’m quite sure I can’t commit that much, but let’s see. :-)
• Rory McDonald, in his own words: I am, amongst many other things, News Editor at Linux User and a freelance Tech writer, but I also provide communications consultancy to a wide variety of different projects in the broad field of “disruptive technologies”
• Hubert Wiest, Director Marketing & Sales at Linux New Media AG - wrote us that he thinks OSMPA is a really great idea and he will try to find the time to get involved.
• Nasser Ghanemzadeh, in his own words: I live in Iran. I’ve a BS on Computer engineering, but my profession is “Business and Economics of software and web”. I’m a co-founder of Isfahan LUG (http://www.isfahanlug.org/wiki/index.php). I’m running a blog in Persian on which I write about business aspects of Softwares, Specially FOSS. (http://opatan.wordpress.com). I have had several seminars on the “FOSS Business”. I am going to found a Open Source Firm in near future.

Let’s see what Day3 will bring. If anyone out there has ideas who else we should immediately invite, pls simply write a comment and we’ll send him or her a personal invitation.
