[Typo3-marketing] Lack of marketing professionalism

[Sander Vogels]

Hi Joern,

Enjoy living in Thailand? Been there for six years (altough in and out) 
and it still feels like my second home. I don't think it's appropriate 
and very respectfull to talk about the Thai people in terms of "they are 
still thinking like a bunch of farmers, can't expect much". After all 
this years in Thailand one would think you had adopted to the culture 
instead of still setting your European/Danish culture as THE standard.

Here's a tip for about the Thailand Open Source Network, might be 
interesting: www.tosdn.com/
Lots of sites about Thailand are made in TYPO3 so maybe you can 
establish a  Thailand T3 Usewr Group?

Regards,

Sander Vogels
