Hi Jeff

I would like to comment on this particular passage in your message.

IMO, we should not spend any time regarding data about OpenOffice. As 
far as I am concerned, and this is my opinion, OpenOffice days are now 
past and LibreOffice has taken over. If there are large deployments, 
most IT people who would consider OpenOffice at this point will be 
looking at LibreOffice. I cannot imagine how IT staff could justify 
going with a project with few devs rather than one with 500+ devs!!!

Then "entrenchment" of OpenOffice has disappeared and is should no 
longer be a consideration for our group.

Let's look forward, and let all the others try to keep up to us.

Cheers,

Marc
