Hi Jordi, my name is Alexandro Colorado, Co-Lead of the Spanish OOo group and
also member of the Marketing of OOo.

Quoting Jordi Massaguer i Pla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi all! My name is Jordi Massaguer Pla. I am from
Catalunya - Spain and I am the coordinator for new
technologies of the "Colegi Oficial d'Enginyeria en
Informàtica de Catalunya". That is the oficial
organization that represents the Computer Engineers in
Catalunya - Spain.

Maybe you know Ismael Fanlo which is also a very strong volunteer within the
spanish community.

We have been talking about some new activities we
could organize and we thought about an office suite
competition. By now, it is no more than an idea, and
that is why I am writing to you.

This are great news and I belive is very doable, we are looking always for
leaders to organize new initiatives. Yours trully look like a step forward.

I would like to know if some of you find interesting
this idea, as a way of promoting free software as
quality software. A lot of people, when they are asked
why they use MS products instead of, for example, open
office, their answer is "I don't believe that open
office will do the same as my microsoft office". Why
don't demonstrate that with a competition?

The competition will consist of creating some office
documents. Those documents could be created by using
any software.

Tell us what would you need from our part.

In order to check that the document is what it was
asked to do, we could get a postcript or pdf version
and make a diff.

Then a list of winners with the suite they used will
be public.

What do you think?

My advise is to join the [email protected] and show your
point, I am
forward this email to them. But I think this is a great idea.

jordi
