The second suggestion might be a bit off topic; but open office.org seams
like the organization best situated to be able to do something like this:
Someone needs to combine the best of the open source graphical programs:
GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, ect and create a singular download for them. None
of these can directly compete with big Adobe without each other (and
probably a few more) since even if GIMP replaces photoshop, one is still
dpeendant upon illustrator, inDesign, After Effects, Flash, Dreamweaver,
ect.
Open office succeeds by combining all the elements of its competition in an
integrated package. The same must be done to break into the monopolistic
Adobe-Macromedia market.
And with a 600 dollar buy-in, this product could have a far better market
share than even open office.
CC,ing the OP.
Hello Matt,
Your suggestion has been tried. Not through OOo but on some other OSS
support sites. Heck, I provide OSS software on any CD or DVD that I
create for anyone else.
Here are some sites that make it easier.
http://www.osalt.com/
http://osswin.sourceforge.net/
http://www.damicon.com/resources/opensoftware.html
The problem with providing Windows based applications for Windows is
many Windows systems need other software installed to get the OSS apps
to run.
There was a CD that was created some time ago but I don't have the site
anymore.
