Re: R: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Ideas wanted for "How we're different" part of new LibreOffice website

Hi Cor,

There in is the problem, too much choice is not helpful. It's easier to say
we give an institution a choice in the software they want to integrate
rather than provide a recommendation based on applications that works well
together to provide a more robust solution.

Migrations are clearly never easy and a lot of thought and hard work is
required, however some collaboration in the broadly same office space will
help the whole ecosystem because you can then target missing components and
build relationships with other software providers.

Kind regards
