I'm not subscribed to this list, said I get no mails from it, so I'll do
so. You can email us at "t...@libreofficebox.org" if You intend to win
the race ;o)).

Agreed, because a DVD is the only way to get "in touch" with the
software itself.
It can serve even people, which don't understand to download and install
from internet or even don't like to do so.

We plan to launch an international/english version of our box an we
would indeed be glad to have You on board and - of course - everyone
else interested to give a hand to achive that.

An english version is not only to serve the english speaking world but
on top of that to enable other native language teams to launch an own
project based on the international one - even if not able to read german
;o)). 

So I look forward to talk about what we already have and what's
missing.

Please note: I'm not subscriber of this list. So CC me if You want me to
read someting.

Gruß/regards
