Lars, I think this is a really good idea! I wonder if it might be even more effective if it focused on college and university newspapers? I think that is the biggest and ripest market for us--last week, I introduced a student from the University of Iowa to OpenOffice.org. She had never heard of it, but was looking for an inexpensive office suite. The free, legal status of OOo was very exciting to her. (As an aside, it seems a huge disservice that universities do not work to provide it to their students, to both stem piracy and help save the poor kids some money!)
