[Typo3] Is TYPO3 used in amarica at all

[Reuven Cohen, Enoamly]

I really think Michelle is missing the point. The current US T3 marketing 
efforts are not working. I am constantly reading articles about Drupal and 
Mambo, yet never see any mention of TYPO3. Why is this? TYPO3 is just as 
capable if not better. We need to be represented in enterprise publications 
such as eweek, kmworld, CIO, baseline, econtent, etc. Not PRweb, cmsmatrix, 
newsforge. Why preach to the converted, we need to start converting.

How can Michelle dis-agree with merging US and Canada's TYPO3 marketing 
efforts. Of the 100 or so TYPO3 website we've done, roughly 10% of them have 
been in Canada. Canada has a population of 30 million (the same as the New 
Your City region), the US has a population of 250+ million. Canada just 
doesn't have the population to support a dedicated TYPO3 effort. As for the 
Canadian market being vastly different, I really don't see it. The only 
difference I see is that the Canadian dollar is 20% less then the US, and 
this is a good thing.

If Michelle is no longer interested in being involved in the US marketing 
effects, I would gladly take over. Zach Davis at Cast iron as well as 
Gregory Remington of mediatech.net have said they are interested in getting 
involved.

My first step would be to setup a US advisory board which would meet at 
minimum once a month (skype) and at least once a year face to face, my vote 
is Las Vegas for the first face to face. This board should be made up of 
developers, consultancies, and clients (big or small).

I agree completely with Michelle's statement, we need more action. I think 
it's time for a change.
