(To have to beg like this! Damn shame that Mac is a poor third-cousin to Windows on too many corporate tables!)
My reply here is strictly directed to OOo's (cough) publicity/marketing department, not to Eric Bachard although he brought this to our attention: I welcome this announcement -- but why preach to the choir (only?) just on OOo pages? Shouldn't we be seeing these announcements also slapped on MacInTouch and MacWorld and MacAddict web pages -- even as posts on Apple support sites? Ditto college and university web sites all over! Doing this shouldn't cost a dime, not like splashy ads. Get the word out! Probably all could be done in one day, and if I wasn't on dial-up I'd do it myself! A good carrot to grab Machead help/attention is to flaunt that working on a top OOo (Sun) project looks GREAT on your resume, and post their names on your developers site -- even send 'em a little OOo team pin or such to cluck over! Try it! If you want customers, you gotta provide a little water to lead the horse to! OOo engineers and developers do one hell of a bang-up job; Publicity shouldn't let them down! Good luck with recruiting & keep up the great work!!
