[Marketing] Local distribution for Cartagena, Colombia
Dear Friends, I'm the president of NTECH TECNOLOGIA LTD. a company of outsourcing and networking solutions based in Cartagena Colombia, we use OpenOffice for testing porpuses and we want to be a authorized distributor of openoffice in this city. Colombia's have the 1st place in software piracy in latinamerica because the small bussines can't pay a lot of money in other Office Suites like Microsoft Office additionally the cost per machine increases the cost of the operation. The idea is to convert my company in a licencese provider of openoffice and the founds recollected by the support will be send to OpenOffice.org as a Donations, in addition we can offer support of openoffice in installation, configuration and other task that needs professional support. We are open to any oportunity to contribute the development of OpenOffice and the open source culture, this is a way to help the small bussines in cartagena to combat the piracy. Best regards, Ing.
