Thanks for sharing and doing that important publication! Cor Yes, we all can slip up with Grammar and other things. I am glad we are sending the announcements to these e-newsletters. We need as many places that lets us know about these useful packages. I found OpenOffice.org within an "Author's Note" in a book series of a popular author [fantasy]. Later I read of LO just as the final release candidate came out for the first version. Where I read about it, I do not remember, but kept looking for info for a new OOo release. I tend to let others know about the new tech news I read about, and other important items. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
