That's exactly what I was thinking.
A testimonial website: where are major institutional users would write
testimonies about why they switched to OO the benefits they got, so on
and so forth. I suggest that this website be divided into categories:
business(by industry) , public administrations, schools/colleges etc.
I am also thinking of advertising OO in magazines CEOs and CFOs, would
read since they are the ones making such a big decision in each
corporation.
We have a testimonial page but I'm way to overcommitted to maintain
it. Right now those wanting to testify send me their notices to
stories at openoffice.org. It's clumsy. A site that captures these
automagically would be best; we can then edit the spam out.
For the present, though, if someone wants to go through the archives
to stories@, I'd be happy to update the testimonials page. Would
really love to do that prior to OOoCon.
As to ads, see Florian's message :-) We want to do that *now*. :-)

Hi,
i am not sure if it's a useful idea but i thought about a new
section in
the wiki (or somewhere else) where users, especially professional
users
like ISV's or companies who use OO.org or built some solutions
based on
OO.org can provide some kind of success story. An interesting story
about the support from the community (or even from professionals who
offer support), a story about their solution they have build with or
based on OO.org, .... The benefit for the project would be that we
get
an overview who is using our office and especially who did a
little bit
more with it and adapt it that way that it fits best in existing
business workflows etc. Good stories would show that we are more
than an
office suite and hopefully would convince others to try it out.
Just an initial idea that have to be made concrete. Important
would be
that it is authentic and comes from the user/ISV/company directly. A
little and cheap contribution for a powerful and free office
suite ;-)
