Greetings!
My name is Steven Youell and after several years of doing all kinds of different things, I've decided to transition to a freelance writing career. Now I've researched this for at least six months and I'm fairly certain it could be done entirely on Free Software. I've used Linux (on and off) since Red Hat 6.2 and even have experience in Unix Tech Support, so I'm not a total newbie. (But I won't be writing any Perl Scripts.). My idea is to start a blog that documents the fact that a SOHO can be run entirely on Free Software. AND that a freelance writer can have success using only OOo. HOWEVER- my research indicates that most of the people that will be paying me to write will require Word Documents. Therefore I would like to see if you would be interested in a joint venture: I'll do the work and the blog which will help promote OOo. But if I run into compatibility issues, I'd like your tech people to help me sort them out. This will not only promote OOo, it should give you a fair amount of data that you can use to improve what is already an excellent program. What say you-would you like to have OpenOffice.org be the program of choice for Freelance Writers everywhere? Steven Youell
