I've been looking into tools like https://www.toonly.com to create fun, lively explainer videos, for how to join the community and how we work. I'd rather use something fully FOSS, of course.

Something more pro-active, proposed by Marc Pare: getting users to add mentions of LibreOffice, open standards and FOSS to their email signatures: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/09/18/spread-the-word-add-libreoffice-to-your-email-signature/

These are ongoing, long-term projects IMO so let's continue working on them this year, and then evaluate the situation at the end of this year.

Here's something more pro-active we did, specifically capitalising on MS Office's obtrusive dialog boxes that prevent people doing their work:

27,579 impressions, 485 likes and 202 retweets. (As a comparison, the LO 7.1 announcement tweet got 37,082 impressions, 472 likes and 207 retweets.) So it's up there with some of the most popular tweets.

On Facebook, it reached 16,263 people, with 1,997 engagements and 61 comments.

I also followed up the tweet with this humourous suggestion from a community member:
