It looks like it is easy to find all of the images from our website (openoffice.org) that have been "pinned" by other users: http://pinterest.com/source/openoffice.org/ So the logo is popular, but also some other images. I made a couple more boards, one for "Cool Documents" and another for "You and OpenOffice". I also sent you an invite so you can work with these boards. If anyone else is interested, let me know. Maybe we can work on getting some initial pins in the boards, so it looks good, and then publicize this new account via our Facebook page, etc. But it might take a week or two to get it ready. Sounds good? -Rob > Re-pinning for us is a great change, too.
