Excuse me? we shouldnt communicate? I thought this was a Marketing

Maybe you don't know but I definetly want to know and will invite to

We should definitely know more, and this is why I don' t think we
should be communicating "in the wind". Most migrations towards OOo,
ODF or FOSS are done silently and announced afterwards because no CIO
wants to have MS in his/her office. The ones that get announced
usually go bust.
counterproductive. MS is out there and they are very powerful in
D.C. as
well as elsewhere. Now, I'm pretty sure this is going to be a neat
progress
So whats the difference here?
The difference is that there's a federal budget, a political will, and
we know nothing of those two. My claiming of this nomination being a
neat progress is mere speculation from my side, I do expect Mr McNealy
not to buy MS Office 2007 licenses in bulk and parade around Miguel de
Icaza, but I don't know how serious/ convinced / and ultimately,
appropriate he will find a massive move towards, say, OOo, based on
the existing IT assets of the federal administration.
from the past administration in terms of innovating in the field of
IT and
procurement, but again, I don't really know what we should be
saying about
it.
First i would want to be more direct about "yes we can" put OOo in
your federal government. We have done it with other governments and
there is no reason why it wouldnt work at your office.
First, what did OOo (the project) say with which government in
particular? I remember Louis speaking about Brazil, not so much about
its government but about the country in general, and India, and it was
pretty much the same train of thought. Second, when Louis did speak
in such a fashion, he was speaking of things he had seen and
witnessed, and he did not come out of the blue shouting on a
government to move to OOo.
Government adoptions of OOo is more common everyday, so there is
nothing new about having the federal goverment adopting OOo without
stoping everyday business operations.
Oh, I absolutely agree with you: and the US moving to FOSS and ODF
would send the last call for all the other countries. That's why we're
certainly not going to sound obnoxious and point the finger on an
issue that is not too hot at the moment. Now don't get me wrong: I
absolutely would love to work on an actual campaign, but I want to do
it in an effective way, and I don' t think that demanding something on
behalf of the project might work. If there is sufficient interest,
perhaps the MarCons and the MP leads could open a dedicated mailing
list or a wiki page so that we can brainstorm?
Best,
Charles.
