So does anyone know a way to get the White House, or the proper people

A couple of years ago I started putting together a lengthy seminar for
my employer, NASA/JPL, to explain why ODF and OOo (this was pre-LibO)
were good things to support throughout the laboratory. I never
finished it, but I was thinking of revamping this for LibO. If anyone
wants to help contribute, let me know.
... I am absolutely convinced that the U.S. government could save
quite a bit of money, without sacrificing quality, by moving to LibO.
John,
I'd like to help in this. Two things:
- The federal branch is one substantial target, but there are a lot of
others in the same procurement space [e.g. 1,2]. I think we should, at
least, scope whether to adopt the collateral you worked on to include
interests & requirements for state, province, etc.

2) http://www.sfcoit.org/index.aspx?page=616
Let me know how you'd like to proceed...
Best,
-Craig
