Presenting with Linux - Impress with Success
,----[ Quote ]
| Impress, Open Office's answer to Powerpoint, is a joy to use, and does not
| create the same overwhelming desire, from both users and viewers, to gouge
| their eyeballs out with a spoon. Certainly you can easily recreate that same
| effect if you choose to create mind numbing presentations and bore everyone
| into a state of early insanity. But why would you want to?

Huge Success for the ODF Community
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org, which is just one implementation of ODF, is currently being
| downloaded more than 1.2M times per week and being distributed by popular
| hardware products like the Asus Eee PC. Government organizations around the
| world are adopting OpenOffice.org and/or ODF and have started to help each
| other with their adoption challenges. Thus, ODF has become a "market force"
| that can't be ignored anymore. Thus, again, congratulations and thank you to
| all the people who have contributed to the success of OpenOffice.org and ODF
| so far! Well done!
