Hello such, send this email for the reason that I would like to promote the
use of OpenOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office, but I wonder if it
cost me a certain price to distribute the CD's because I had the opportunity
to distribute disks previously linux ubuntu and they had no charge, asked
whether the distribution of this tool, which is its organization, has some
cost, since it will embark on a migration project tools opensource license
to race where engineering study on computer systems and between them is
referred to the OpenOffice, if I could provide the information necessary for
the distribution of CD's and it would be very good that every student he
should receive his own record of openoffice.
Similarly, the institution itself looking for a next certification in both
its students and staff, I'd like to provide information necessary to carry
out this migration but with the certification of your organization.
Hi Leonel,
Standard reply follows.
<Begin paste>
Distributors
Please go to the main OpenOffice.org website:
www.openoffice.org
At the top right, create yourself a User Name & Password.
Please make sure that you quote your 'primary' e-mail address, or if you
have created a special one for OO.org - eg.
[email protected]
Now proceed as follows:
On the home page:
Double click the Downloads button .
Scroll down till you see the sub section 'Other'
Double click CD-ROMs.
This will bring you to the BLUE BUTTON.
Under Mailing lists, make sure that you are subscribed to :
annou...@distrib .....
d...@distrib ......
cd...@distrib ......
Once you have received the automated confirmation of subscription, you
know that you will receive all messages from these links.
Please note that Openoffice.org DO NOT send out CD's.
The act of producing the cd's and leaflets etc. for distribution is the
Community Distributors contribution to ' Spreading the word'.
You may if you wish make a nominal charge for the cds, and this is
explained within the mission statements etc.
If you wish to be listed as a Distributor on the OO.o site, you can
apply, but please note that it may take a little while to activate.
e-bay
If you intend to 'market' the cd's on e-bay there are certain conditions
that you must conform to, and you will find these at:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/ebay_page.html
You can download the latest version for win32, or browse for linux and
other alternatives if you need them, by going back a page and clicking
on the Download button (GREEN).
There are options for a download with,or without Java, suggest you take
the one with.
This may save you, or your 'customers' a second download from Java link,if
they do not have it on their machine.
SAVE the download, and this will then write to disc.
Look out for the links to disc templates, flyers, specification sheets
etc.
All web link buttons etc are available, just read through the mission
statements etc. and you can then follow the links for more info.
If you are also building, you may also like to consider registering as
o.e.m. suppliers (?)
If so, in addition to the above, subscribe to:
[email protected]
Come back if you have any problems.
All the best
