Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice
Is there a wiki page list of all of these businesses or governments that have switched over to LO and/or ODF? If so, I would like to know where it is so I could use it in my local marketing as proof that LO and ODF is not a fad or some odd ball package that only a small group uses. Showing whole States and/or Countries switching over, plus big businesses doing the same, really can make local marketing helpful. On 07/17/2014 04:37 AM, Charles-H.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice
Indeed we lack a real one and must somehow integrate the existing OOo deployments that were migrated over to LibreOffice ( case in point: french gov, city of Munich, city of Leipzig...)
