I'm not sure you can call then a re-seller, but I think Sun Philippines
sells StarOffice here in the Philippines. I read a press release from
SunPhil in the Business section of the July 7, 2001 issue of The Philippine
Star.
<press release>
SUN MICROSYSTEMS DONATES STAROFFICE 5.2 SOFTWARE TO PMS:
Sun Microsystems Philippines, Inc. (SunPhil) supports the government's
efforts toward achieving efficiency and in prompt delivery of government
services. As a result, SunPhil in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has
donated and provided the Presidential Management Staff (PMS) of the Office
of the President with unlimited licenses of the StarOffice 5.2 productivity
software. The software will be installed in the PC's in its main office and
various field offices. This is in line with PMS's efforts to lower costs
spent on software licenses. Seen in photo are (from left) SunPhil president
and managing director, Cynthia R. Mamon and Presidential Management Staff
Head, Hon. Victoria P. Garchitorena.
</press release>
I could not include the photo, use your imagination nalang. ;->
We should come out with our own press release!!
"In line with the government's cost reduction program PLUG is donating a
couple of Mandrake 8.0 CD's so that the government can have something to run
StarOffice on. Furthermore, PLUG encourages the government to make as many
copies of the cd's as posible and distribute them to ALL government
offices. In keepeing with the spirit of GPL."
How's that?
