Hello, My name is Joy Snell, and I am a pathologist in solo practice in Lawton, OK, USA. I have my own independent practice and so I am also a small business owner. I will definitely let my collegues know about the OpenOffice.org suite of programs.
Referral and word-of-mouth is the best kind of introduction.
I am also the mother of three and president of their PTA. Because students often need software to complete assignments at home, and school systems are often underfunded, I was interested in joining the marketing project of OOo to introduce my school system and the students to the open system alternative. It provides a way to teach our youth that you don't have to violate copyrights to get the tools needed to succeed in their academic endeavors, and perhaps some of the young talent will be uncovered for the development projects.
A new incubator project has just been instigated that is for teachers and students interested in pursuing the development of OpenOffice.org. See: http://education.openoffice.org/ Contact the leads (email addresses displayed on the home page) if you are interested in getting this project off the ground or wish to find out how to contribute in this way. There is an [email protected] list for discussing specific marketing in the education and training sector.

My OpenOffice.org user name is simply joysnell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I look forward to making a small contribution to this project my spreading the word in my community.
Thank you Joy, and again welcome. Regards Jacqueline McNally OOoCon2006 in Lyon (http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/) Are you a computer angel?
