Just a few points and requests.
1. OpenOffice.org community would like to have case studies of any
schools using OO.o for the Education project which I'm leading. Please
E-mail me with details if you use OO.o
2. We are running a competition for a mascot - like Tux but based on a
seagull for the OO.o Schools project the winning design will be adopted
by the project worldwide.
3. We are also interested in schools joining the community and involving
pupils. They can contribute clip art, document templates etc. ie joining
the OO.o community has a lot more educational benefit than the MS Office
community.
4. With China intending to deploy 200m desktops based on FLOSS in the
longer term, its very likely that by the time a year 7 pupil leaves
full-time education they will be using tools based at least on the OO.o
base code even if its in another product.
