Behind the scenes at TDF: Karl Morten Ramberg, marketing intern

I am working as marketing intern since October, living and working out of Lillehammer, Norway. I have been working with open source software and projects since around the year 2000. Before that I was a development manager for ERP software for some years. I have also been heavily involved in using office suites as front ends to ERP and other systems both in private industry and the public sector.

Currently, I am working at the release planning of LibreOffice 5.1, with a focus on putting together the information for the product flyers – for both private users and enterprises – we will make available for the product launch. I have also been participating in a business exhibition in Stuttgart, and coordinating with native language groups via Sophie.

Based on previous experiences and impressions from the event, I have also written a market segmentation/positioning document, which will be broken down into prioritized actions and deliverables.

Hopefully, we will be able to streamline the upcoming major release announcements, based on the improved process we are using for LibreOffice 5.1.
