Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Fwd: Public Discussion for Version 4.0 of the CC Licenses Underway

Hi :)
Interesting that they ask for donations once a year rather than all year.  The LO marketing team 
has been discussing doing something like that too but choosing around April time as it's the end of 
the financial year for a lot of corporate organisations globally (apparently.  I know it's true in 
England but i thought that was a quirk)
Regards from
Tom :)
