[ubuntu-za] Open Office/Libre Office and other open source software

[maia grotepass]

Lots of good ideas. I am very happy there is so much feedback. Anybody
who wants to get involved is welcome. Also is there anybody who wants
to volunteer to drive this? How should we drive this?

I don't see myself walking around shopping malls with flyers like some
crazy lady :D but I am sure there is something that can be done.
