[libreoffice-marketing] Re: LibreOffice installed by default on recycled computers

Hi Fabian,

What wonderful news and great help to the school. Were you hired for the 
install etc., was this for and aid group? Photos?

It's always nice to hear of someone helping out in areas where help is 
needed and where LibreOffice will make a difference.

Big thanks for the groundbreaking work at MRC. This would look great as 
a blog article on our blog planet -- even in French! Maybe some of your 
students will jump in and help out with a Haitian Créole translation of 
LibreOffice.

Cheers,

Marc
