Hi Kim, We currently have zillion of documents talking about this. You could even take a look at my recent IRC conference about organizations migrating to OpenOffice.org where I mention the Novell experience migrating to OpenOffice.org
http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/logs/02-April-2005-OOo-Migration.html I presume that the marketing document/projects have many presentations regarding the use OpenOffice.org the value of open standards and the possibility to extend your applications by integrating the XML of OOo. Within the Spanish community we have currently 2 universities migrating as we speak to OpenOffice.org and they have been succesful so far. The migration hasn't been anywhere fast but the contrary. It seems they are very caution on doing things the corect way. Many fast migrations have failed misserably and the human factor has been the main problem on this cases. Another project that might help you out is Schoolforge http://www.schoolforge.net/ where a lot of material has been dedicated to the education market. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ Mensaje citado por Kim Getz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I am a student presently working on a propsal in my communications class > for Robert Morris University to switch to OpenOffice.
