Yes, in fact "Friends of" made the offer to AOO long ago. My idea is to have both the opportunity for anyone to purchase TShirts etc, and a fund to supply same for use at booths. Books, too, of course.
Mainly what is needed is permission to use the AOO logo (and perhaps variations such as "I [heart] [AOO logo]) and someone to do the work... Set up a store, create products, etc. Jean On 01/05/2012, at 11:39, Donald Harbison <[email protected]> wrote: > Jean, > > Are there any funds available from Friends of OpenDocument similar to those > being allocated to LibreOffice?
