Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing campaign/infographic idea: Freeing schools from proprietary software

Hi people.

In different ways it is clear that Microsoft often pays money (to 
school, universities, EU political parties and institutions) to promote 
the use of proprietary software. Then it is clear even that Microsoft 
even make the rules:

This was clear since the cancellation of the LiMux project in the city 
of Munich:

I guess that sending printed manuals including installation DVDs to 
public and school libraries and organizing courses in schools can be 
good strategies.  Something like: 'how to write a dissertation in 
LibreOffice, including tables, data import from softwares...'.

Following also the principle: 'public money  public code'.

Eu Commission has some initiatives for open source, but I am not expert 
about:

https://www.thecyberhive.eu/community/events/eu-open-source-policy-summit-2024

https://eucloudedgeiot.eu/event/eu-open-source-policy-summit-2024/

I am always trying to promote the use of LibreOffice, R, linux, freecad 
and so on when possible... not understanding why people complain about 
taxpayer's money and the costs of studying in many cases, but not in 
this one.

Italian army saves 10 millions euro/year by using LibreOffice (the so 
called libredifesa project).
