Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice

Is there a wiki page list of all of these businesses or governments that 
have switched over to LO and/or ODF?  If so, I would like to know where 
it is so I could use it in my local "marketing" as proof that LO and ODF 
is not a "fad" or some "odd ball" package that only a small group uses.  
Showing whole States and/or Countries switching over, plus big 
businesses doing the same, really can make local marketing helpful.
