[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [tdf-announce] LibreOffice Conference opens in Berlin

Hi :)
WooooHoooo!  Superb!!  Great news and an excellent announcement!  I usually find some minor point 
to criticise and sometimes worry that detracts from the main messages but this time there was not a 
single petty thing wrong i could find anywhere.  Really great news!  60 million!  Over 100 
languages!  

Congrats and regards from
Tom :)
