Dear Eric, My capstone class (3rd & 4th year students) has spent a good part of the year working on LibreOffice. They are just now getting in their first patch for issues with the speadsheet and moving on to other issues. Would it make sense to send the entire class (12 students) the message below to see if people are interested? (I won't go into the LibreOffice/OpenOffice division but hope that isn't a serious issue for what you want).
