Please can we market OpenOffice to more educational institutions?

2013-04-20 Thread goldfish
Hi,

I feel OpenOffice has much more value than competing products.

I find this very sad news: AICTE Makes Microsoft Office 365 Mandatory
For Technical Colleges In India!   -
http://www.efytimes.com/e1/fullnews.asp?edid=104544

Could we please educate 'educational' institutions so that they have
more value, save money and hopeful give back to OO?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

Spain has produced a lot of courseware and educational curriculum for
elementary and secundary education. As far as college, I think it can
be done. OOoAthors, now ODF authors has a very good array of books
that can be easily transform into textbooks (with excercises, cases
and such).

Althought some more specialized type of education, like Finance and
Accounting with Calc, would need a bit more work.

However I like the book by Gabriell Gurley on more practical use of
OpenOffice.org

During one of the students internship there was a lot of Phisics, and
Math problems developed in Excel, on somehting called Excellets, he
was able to convert 20 to calc.

Original excelets
http://academic.pgcc.edu/~ssinex/excelets/chem_excelets.htm

Localized and converted calclets
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User_talk:Luis-kp#MODELOS_MATEM.C3.81TICOS.

I guess is just a matter to re-localize to the target language.
