Hi All,
Just to let you all know that over the coming months, the number of
OpenOffice.org users in Singapore will be jumping up by a few thousand more.
Overseas Family School (OFS) have just announced their switch to
OpenOffice.org with all faculty and students making the switchover
(3500+ users on 1500 computers)
http://www.ofs.edu.sg/about-ofs/announcements/openoffice/
OFS has donated SGD15,000 to OpenOffice.org and they have authored and
made freely available a number of training videos that may be useful for
others making the switch to OpenOffice.org. See:
http://www.ofs.edu.sg/help-desk/using-open-office/
This has been a long time coming, as OFS, a large user of Mac OS X, have
been patiently waiting for the release of OpenOffice.org 3.0 which has
native Mac OS X support.
There has been much planning, testing, implementation and training work,
with the faculty beginning the migration of documents over to ODF in
January 2008. It is really great to now reach the point where
OpenOffice.org and ODF are becoming ubiquitous within this large
international school in Singapore.
Michael.
