Apologies for the lateness of this report. Before Easter I
mentioned that I was going to be demonstrating OOo to some
writers, editors, and publishers at a science-fiction convention
in Australia.
As often happens, things didn't work out quite as planned.
Despite that, I am quite happy with the result. Almost no one
attended the scheduled demo, mostly because it was in the same
time slot as a talk by one of the big-name guest writers.
The rest of the time I did what I often do at these events: I
found some table space near an electrical outlet in a
high-traffic area and sat there with my computer, wearing my OOo
t-shirt (I have lots, so I can wear a fresh one each day; I
wonder how many people thought I never changed my shirt?), and
with several books and some handouts on display. Many people came
to talk, several looked at the program, the CDs I had brought
were sold very quickly, and I could have sold a bunch of books if
I'd had them. The few books I did have, I donated at the end of
the convention to the local Writers' Centre.
In that particular group, the feature that caught everyone's
attention was: "Create PDFs without the need for any other program".
Cheers, Jean
