Basically for every 2 openoffice.org CDs they sell they will donate 1 copy to Malaysia to help improve the kids education over there which is all very nice. They only cost 2 quid each and p&p is the cost of a first class stamp for 1-5 CDs, 2xFCS for 6-10 CDs and then waived for 10+.
If you wish to order or have further questions then his email address is pburgess@wilmslowhigh.cheshire.sch.uk
The CDs contain windows, linux and solaris versions of openoffice.org 1.1 and there is spare capacity for anything you want really. He can add curriculum resources if you are a teacher and are passing / selling these Cds on to kids.
I have no affiliation with this project or the school or the teacher other than I think it deserves to be supported :-)
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.
