  Subject: Re: ODT files in Word
 
  I'm a user of both Windows and Linux. Trying to get a format that works 
 on 
  both platforms can be a pain. I found it so much of a pain that I simply 
 just 
  use solely PDF when sending files to people.
 
  If you are frequently editing the file(s) on different platforms or 
 possibly 
  different users, then perhaps an online office suite might be the way to go 
 for 
  you.
 
 Not me, Libre Office opens anything I throw at it, including docx stuff that 
 my 
 wife has trouble printing because of weird departmental fonts.  When I print 
 yet 
 another thoughtlessly formatted document for her I am always sure to rub it 
 in.  
 Gently but firmly ;-)
 
 I suggested the odt plugins for Word because it looks like the solution for 
 Windows users that haven't been able to open odt documents in the past.  
 Have you tried it found it less than satisfactory?
 
 Chris

July Team Meeting - Tomorrow night

2012-07-07 Thread Jared Norris 
Sorry for the late notice everyone but tomorrow night is the team
meeting. As usual the details and agenda items are available on the
loco portal [1].

I've added an agenda item to try and stimulate discussion on plans and
ideas for the team moving forward. We have become a little stagnant of
late and I would like to see if we can turn this around in any way.
Please feel free to bring along some ideas to contribute and I hope to
see you there.
