Hello Anant, The suggestion "Freedom never tasted so Suite" is actually the only slogan we use and it's not even Tom's. Looking at the wiki there's about 115 other proposals, so you're welcome to propose yours as well. However, may I suggest something else instead? If you look at this page: htt

Hi :) Sorry i just realised that i had hijacked another thread so i forwarded these emails to a new thread to break them free into a new thread of their own.  The FSF seems positively rabid and starts with the premise that people want to be free rather than to just get on with work easily.  You

Hi :) I think stick with the categories that were in the 2011 calendar but only create them for 2012 as and when they are needed.  There's no point in having an empty category. If we had a proper calendar rather than a wiki then more categories might be a good idea but on a wiki it seems best t

Hi :) Your edit to the wiki was good.  New things are always scary so we need to overcome that fear in our marketing of LibreOffice.  The  newer MS Offices look so substantially different from old MSO whereas we look more like the old versions.  Oddly that seems to count against us quite often
