Re: Is there a AOO repo for ubuntu?

[luizheli]

Hi,

I installed the AOO 3.4 on all computers that have access. Where had
OpenOffice.org 3.3 I decided not to move. I think the moment is to
increase the installed base and begin to see if there are complaints.
For my part everything is working fine.

Re: Introduces

[luizheli]

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the sweet words. What we did here in Brazil with the Journal
BrOffice was a great experience for all of us because the entire
production of the magazine was made ​​by BrOffice suite (Writer and
Draw). With this, we were the first to learn how to use the tool and
help people with tips and tutorials. Furthermore, we did interviews with
CIOs of companies that went through migrations to BrOffice/OpenOffice. I
really like your idea of having the focus on the user. In my opinion,
for this type of project (a magazine) work it takes a very active
community. We already have the social media, local lists are being
created. Do you think it possible to produce an electronic journal
edited and produced using only free software and Apache OpenOffice? I
think so!


rgds,

Luiz Oliveira

Hi,

I am Luiz Oliveira, a journalistfrom Brazil. I led for a time
the nationwide BrOffice users group. At the time we still had a
magazine[1] created to give tips on the use of OpenOffice.org suite /
BrOffice, designed by my friend Claudio Filho. I helped organize some
editions of the National BrOffice event held via videoconference with
the participation of up to 04 countries, along with other comrades here
in Brazil. I believe in the Apache OpenOffice project and want to
contribute to more Brazilians know it.

Hello,

I mean that in any case I'm available to help publicize the project
whether or not a PPMC member. I think Brazil has a great potential and
can work well with Apache OpenOffice.

Hi,

The Writer can link text frames. This functionality would be greatly
