If nothing else, it would be good to paraphrase the 20 things and list 
them here on this list.

All we need is a summary of what the magazine feels are the biggest 20 issues. 
If you find the article, just share that info, and we should be good to go.

Hi Henri,



Jonathon, not living in the UK, I'm not so familiar with this mag, but I
certainly agree it would be interesting for LibreOffice to be included on
one of their CDs. I was merely disappointed that I couldn't find the review
to which Alex alluded above and hoped that some kind soul could point me in
the right direction. I'm particularly interested in reviews highlighting the
distinction (from a user's standpoint) between OOo and LibreOffice



I may have got that mixed up with Linux Format (UK), one of the other UK
Linux mags released an article shortly before / after release of LibO
final. I'm actually subscribed to Linux Format (UK) although living in
France, and I find it quite good, much as I like Linux User too, when I
can get my hands on it. Given a choice, however, I still prefer the
German linux magazines, on the whole very well written articles.

Alex




LinuxFormat is also available here in Canada at some bookstores and 
specialty computer stores. I have always liked their articles. LinuxUser 
is also great a great read. We only get the English version of course. 
Not sure if there is a French version sold in Québec (Canada).


Cheers

Marc

Alex I still feel someone like one of the devs should write an article 
for this magazine, it will be good publicity, and maybe by 3.4 we can 
work on getting it on their CD.

Jonathon, not living in the UK, I'm not so familiar with this mag, but I
certainly agree it would be interesting for LibreOffice to be included on
one of their CDs. I was merely disappointed that I couldn't find the review

I thought (and I may be completely wrong here) they'd already done a
review when 3.3.0 final was released, and kind of said something akin to
"Yes, hmm, good, but not good enough"

Excellent point. OpenOffice.org is frequently on such CDs/DVDs!
