Dear Mr. Long,
I have just read that a candidate for the Student Senate of the
University of Florida wants to introduce Open-Source-Software to all
workstations and to encourage the use of open document formats.
He is endorsed by Ren Bucholz of the EFF (Electronic Frontier
Foundation) and other representatives of important organizations.
I think that it is important to OpenOffice.org to help this campagne in
order to install OpenOffice.org on all university wokstations so that
the free use of the OpenDocument format is possible and the IT fund of
the university can be used for as many free projects as possible.
In addition there could be made installation CDs for laptops of students
and professors with Firefox and OpenOffice.org (Setup and Portable) to
spread the use of these important programs even more.
From my point of view at least one representative of OpenOffice.org
should contact Gavin Baker and add an entry under "In the media" on the
OpenOffice.org front page, as soon as OpenOffice.org is mentioned
explicitely in the campaign to be supported as well.
Unfortunately the voting is already next week (28.02. - 01.03.),
therefore quick action is essential.
