Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Simple general LibreOffice flyer (WAS Re: Document Freedom Day Artwork)

Hi Marc, Tom;

I don't mean to muddy the waters unnecessarily but, in the case of *BSD, 
"support" would be more likely coming from their end and not TDF's.  Also:

   * there are a lot of unrelated *BSD's (e.g. Free-, Open- and netBSD)
   * *BSD apps aren't (normally) distributed as pre-compiled packages
     but as source to compile
   * once an app is "in the ports," it (normally) has a maintainer
     (IOW, is supported)
   * checking w/those projects will show whether LibO is supported

So, for example, to see whether an app is supported by FreeBSD, I

   * go to their central applications site: http://www.freshports.org
   * search on LibreOffice
   * find that 3.2.2 is the current ver and the "maintainer" is
     Baptiste Daroussin

I'm not as familiar with the other *BSD's but, if you want, I'll poke 
around to establish whether they are maintaining LibO and at what version.

hth,
-Craig
