Jason is right here professionals want a professional looking product and business to work with. I can't count how many times we were asked at the booth who is your director, or who is the CEO. If openoffice can't really put one professional looking person as the head of the project then we need to put a professional looking community behind the project. > > > As far as the novell and AMD stands they are extremely nice but I > > don't think the funds of this project would allow for something as > > intricate as that.
