Dear Sir,
During our last meeting of the "Liege Linux Team" (LiLiT), a member
shows me the game "starwar" available on the openoffice calc.
It's a pity to fall down on the same problem as commercial softwares.
One of the argument for the open source software is, "this program do
what he says to do, not more".
I understand a program is more and more heavier to add functionnality
or possibilities I probably never use (but others users can use). But
I cannot undersand to add 'hidden' functions , for the fun. It's far
away from the alternate way we promote.
Please think about the open-source philisophy before to add this kind
of thinks. If I want a small game, I install a game, If i want a 100%
serious office program it must be 100% serious.
You do a fantastic work for the future of the world,
congratulations!! Please, don't fall down of so a detail.
Best regards,

Hi all,
Very funny indeed... and I really hope there are no business-prospects
reading this list...
This is ecactly the thing that works against you! How about
confidence... Is it not hard enough to break trough the barrier set by
MS is it is?
Confidence should be one of our key elements!!!!!
I agree with Emmanuel! How do you want me to go to a prospect and
convince them OOo is trustworthy when they can read about these
childlike things when followin a major discussion list?
Again : I have seen it in other immature OS projects and it is a
matter of being professional or not. these things just are not done.
Well, I hope I get trough to someone here... Will I have to continue
starting discussions on things that bug people or will someone finally
sit down and think about the furure of OOo?
I don't blame anyone, point no fingers, but am merely pointing out
that is it time to move to the next level!

Level as defined by ???? you perhaps?
Shall we all dance to your tune or shall we all sign into a monastery
for self flagellation as penance for daring to inject some levity into
this thread.
Relaxation therapy could be called for here.. as for the MS 'Barrier'
that exists only because they have dominance and that mostly because of
all the Pirate copies in use. Their current licenceing policy, Pricing
and crackdown on illegal copies will push people across to OOo Where if
the newcomers find it full of stuffed shirts they will wander off to 602
suite.
Good software will win in the end backed by price, if you honestly
consider that a problem discussion thread with a slight humorous aside
to it is going to influence anyone in using the software then simply
DON't show it to them..
Best Regards
Chris
