Hi 2012/5/17 Louis Suárez-Potts <lui...@gmail.com>: > This is good! does it continue the activity of earlier years?
Yes. Exist a decrease because the gov is passing the maintaining effectively to society, but some government programs like GESAC[1], yet continue. The difference from this program to a telecenter is that the internet is provided through satelite link, in places where haven't cable. [1]http://www.gesac.gov.br/ > Wow.

Remember that BrOffice was killed after they "rescued" the users for them, and after started a FUD campain against this name. However, Yes, will be over pt-BR and with name "Apache OpenOffice". > Also, in case people don't know, would you be so kind as to explain what a > Telecenter is? In Brasil started a many years ago in a moviment from organized society to make places with free access to computers with many apps and internet. After, this idea grew to a national plan, multiplying around the country, including free computing courses and digital inclusion for low income population. > Yes.

Is possible we help? IMO, is understand more some points and adjust it in the launchpad.org space. Bests, Claudio
