Hi folks!

With the excitement around the release of LibreOffice 4, I was curious
to know about past and future "enterprise" deployments of LibreOffice,
or, more broadly speaking, the market demand for a free and open source
office suite.

I'm looking for the answer to these questions:
- Which government institutions are deploying LOo or planning to do so?
- In the private sector, which companies are publicly known to use LOo?

Ideally we should at least have some ballpark economic figures to go
along with those.

So far, I didn't see anything related to that in
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing or
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Deployment_and_Migration 


Although I'm a huge fan of LibreOffice, I'm also curious to know - to
the extent of what is known - about the same data regarding OpenOffice
(given how entrenched it has been as a trademark in the last decade or
so). Marketing-wise, we can't afford to underestimate the power of that
brand, although we are slowly eroding it. Thus, if we can, we should
also document OpenOffice's recent marketing successes in comparison to
ours.

Wikipedia has pretty much nothing except the French giving out USB keys
of LOo. The only other mention I could find is one obscure sentence in
http://www.h-online.com/open/features/LibreOffice-a-dive-into-the-unknown-1355159.html saying that 
it has been deployed for a "hospital workforce of 25,000 in Denmark". In contrast, the story around 
OpenOffice is more complete and impressive to the unsuspecting reader: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openoffice#Market_penetration



So, do you folks have insights on the questions above?
(and if so, we should probably centralize this knowledge on a wiki page.
Alternatively, I could update Wikipedia with relevant links you may
suggest)


Best regards,
Jean-François
