Jan, et al., One of the markets I’ve always seen as possible lies with academia. Students (and profs; but also admins) as developers, contributors, but also users of the promised Corinthia functionality.
I used to know people involved in Brussels’ education system; they loved ODF. But that was a while ago. I still have connections with them, however, as I do with those in France. As Corinthia is not Apache OpenOffice, it ought not to matter that most of those whom I used to know professionally are now associating with LO. louis > On 03-02-2015, at 03:48, jan i <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi > > Seen with the eyes of Corinthia.
