Dear All! Let me introduce myself, my name is Peter Szakal.
I work with open source softwares since 2004, when we released our software package based on OOo under the name "SpringOffice". Since 2005 I am a co-owner of Open SKM Agency, an agency offering consultancy and management services. As a partner of Sun Microsystems we are the exclusive representative of StarOffice in Hungary. In the last few years we co-ordinated government lobby activity together with different companies (Sun Microsystems, IBM, Oracle, ULX/Red Hat) and civil organizations (ODFA, IVSZ) to end the monopol situation of Microsoft on the public software market. Our activity was successful: the secretary for Informatics and Government Commissioner announced the Hungarian government is going to increase its use of open source software and will make 21 million Euro available for open source softwares. We also supported and managed local FLOSS events like FLOSS Farm, participated at conferences and published articles and created studies in the subject of Open source softwares especially StarOffice and OpenOffice. I am the teamleader of the commity to organise OOoCon in Budapest - as it is already known we won the tender for the year 2010. If you would like to know more about our activity, click on the link: http://openskm.com/press/index.html In the future I would like to become an active member of the OpenOffice.org marketing project and share my experiences with the OOo community.
