Hi Kay, In my spare time, I work with the Dayton Gospel Mission giving assistance to there IT and Scholastic needs at the Nehemiah University. One of the many things we have the privilege of is offering education to those in needy situations giving them new strength in knowledge.
We currently teach Office products and are interested in teaching OO.o. I think there are great possibilities here to create a new marketing strategy and would like to speak with you some time to discuss some new ideas. Please let me know if that is possible.

I am in contact with Rafael Ebron Mozilla's international marketing he is also interested in cross promoting OO.o. Following initiatives was not rejected in my first mailing end of June * Announced in the OpenOffice.org Newsletter * Announcement on news.openoffice.org along with the 3.0 announcement * Mentioned on the OO.o product/features page (with real live example) * OpenOffice.org Solutions page (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Solutions) Not finally discussed where a promotion link on download.openoffice.org It is safe to say that an integration or bundling with OO.o is not planned. Is this summary correct so far? Nether mind I would link re-initiate the discussion about promoting Thunderbird +Lightning on the download page of OO.o, which is in my opinion the most prominent place for a promotion. We might start also a discussion how OO.o could be promoted by the Mozilla Thunderbird team. Adding an OpenOffice.org pointer on the Thunderbird page might be an option. Finally we could arrange a telephone conference to discuss the basics Regards Kay Florian Effenberger wrote: > Hi, > >> This is the plan, there will be a Lightning version available, the >> same as we plan to bundle with StarOffice. > > are there also plans to bundle or at least link to it from OOo 3? > Maybe at the end of the setup?
