 Any recommendations to what is the best stuff to show off?

[Marketing] Excellent Article!

2005-10-30 Thread Daniel Carrera

Hey,

I just finished reading David A. Wheeler's article. Yes, it's that long 
:) And it's the best article on OpenDocument I've seen, by far. It's 
well worth the read. Guys, you MUST READ THIS ARTICLE.


http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20051029212458555

All I can say is wow. It is exceptionally thorough, exceptionally well 
researched, exceptionally clear. And the last part, about the prospects 
of the future, was inspiring. I was bouncing on my chair while I read it :-)


I really want to congratulate David for doing such an awesome job.

Everyone else, you really really do want to read this article. Please 
read it. Drop what you're doing and click on the above link.


And I also want to say thanks to PJ for putting it on one of the most 
popular blogs on the internet. That was a great gift to OpenDocument.


Cheers,
Daniel.
