Hi :) The girl/lady reading the script has used LibreOffice a couple of times but really had no idea how to do the things she was reading about and still doesn't know. To be fair neither do i but she has a nice voice so i might listen to it enough to work out what it's about. It might even help me with my work as i use a CMS (one i find a bit of a pita tbh) quite frequently.
The main point is that if articles are promoting the CMIS thing then it would be sensible if they gave a link to further info about it and all i know is that video. So, i am trying to give the link in the comments section in some of the articles Italo gave us links to. It's interesting to hear about a 2minute rule. I guessed at 3 minutes a couple of months ago so it's good to know i wasn't tooo far off. Hopefully for that video, people watching will mostly be advanced users ready to commit to the full 5mins and the nice voice might help keep them focused.
