Hello,
Thx Louis for this useful information.
We are a student association at Stockholm university and one of our
goals is to promote open source among students.
Great!
In this respect, we made a simple OO thesis template, a video
tutorial on how to use it and we give once in a while a crash
course on how to customize the thesis template (see links below).
That's pretty good. Have you considered giving the template to our
Docs project? It houses templates, among other things, in all
languages--or at least links to those other languages. See http://
documentation.openoffice.org/ .
Regarding the Free Software Day and a presentation on OO, we can
offer a promotion channel to reach students at Stockholm
university. In particular:
1) advertising space to promote the Free Software day and OO
lecture on our announcement board (right in front of main SU library)
2) access to a well equipped lecture room at SU for a presentation/
lecture on a OO topic that is of interest to students from SU
3) participation in the ProFun games (with soccer) to promote "OO
Sweden"/Free Software day among sport loving students (e.g. team OO
Sweden wearing t-shirts with the logo of OO Sweden or the Free
software day >>> participants should be students from either KTH or
SU because the university pays for the hours at the sports facility)
(possibly, depending on the deadline) 4) announcement of the event
in Gaudeamus (the official student magazine delivered to the homes
of people)
The proposals above are the things that we can offer at any rate.
If you have other ideas how we can help, dont hesitate to come
forward.
Well, we don't spend money on advertising. We do accept contributions
from the community to further the community's goals--and that could
mean your goals, too. I mean: if you want to donate the space and
time and energy, super: we will all benefit. Or did I misinterpret
your message?

Well, getting back to promoting the use and development of OOo among
university students, I'm quite interested. Use is easily
accomplished, or at least making OOo in SV available, is.
Development is more complicated, and requires commitment and real
interest. But it's a lot more rewarding. I'd be happy to discuss with
your team either angle. We want to bring in students from around the
world to help develop OOo--including extensions, templates, core code.
Kind regards,
