Also, just looking at the entry pages from last years show: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/exhibitor/open-media-now.html being an example, maybe I want to pull back on that less is more idea, maybe not quite that much less. so - for a first paragraph then: LibreOffice - A Free Open Source suite of office applications. Available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. <then something about the Document Foundation for paragraph 2> <List Modules or Standards compliance for the 3rd paragraph> Then maybe that is brief enough.
