If we reach 100 before april 7, I suggest all the openoffice speakers mention this in the prelude to their talks. Even 95 million is a factor more than any other ASF project (to my best knowledge). If somebody with drawing skills, could make a "near 100 million" logo before march 24, I will for sure add it to my first slide. rgds jan I. > -Rob > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
