Extending OpenOffice.org
,----[ Quote ]
| Everyone has heard the old saying "lies,
| damn lies, and statistics", well
| statistically OpenOffice.org is used
| somewhere between 0.2% and 22% depending
| as to where you live. (these statistics
| can be found at Webmasterpro.de). This
| leaves a lot of people saying, "Huh?!?".
| So I will resolve to discuss OOo adoption
| anecdotally. The first class of pharmacy
| students I taught 4 years a go had never
| heard of OpenOffice.org prior to me using
| it for a presentation, but this past month
| (May 2010) I had several students email me
| their pharmacy law papers as ODTs. The
| reasons for this increased adoption could
| be due to multiple reasons such as
| alternatives being perceived as bloated,
| slow, and expensive or the increased
| number of students I have using
| alternative operating systems where OOo
| has a native port or maybe even the fact
| that they find their pharmacy professor so
| darn cool that they want to be just like
| him and run OOo as well. As biased as I am
| towards myself, I seriously doubt it's
| that last reason but I am seeing more and
| more OOo use. My intention with this
| article is not to proselytize OOo, but
| instead to show some good ways to extend
| the use of OOo.
