There is also a project to get OO.o discs into libraries so that people
can borrow them, copy them or install them. I think every library in
Scotland now has an OO.o disc courtesy of ob Kerr who is running the
project. He has sent me quite a few discs in nicely produced DVD cases.
If anyone wants one to put in their school library let me know and I'll
send one. Its entirely free.
