Seeing as a cash refund on the purchase of OpenOffice would be of little
use to us, how can we influence the settlement to our advantage or
otherwise benefit from the proposed voucher scheme?
How much are the vouchers worth? Say USD 100? Then offer special OOo CDs
for sale at USD 100 (or USD 50) with clear labelling that the proceeds
going to Team OpenOffice...
Or offer CD plus and additional 6 - 12 months subscription to a payed
online training service. I do not know how many such services there are
and which is the best but at some point I saw some great training Flash
tutorials at low cost subscription per month.
~just my 2 cents in vouchers

Best,
