Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing campaign/infographic idea: Freeing schools from proprietary software

It would be nice if someone at LibreOffice could send a response to that 
school whereby the use of the phrase "you are being `fact-checked`" and 
dispute the forced use of MS Office, and then send the usual reasons in 
order to educate the school re: LibreOffice. The fact that LibreOffice 
is universally available to all on any platform and where MS Office is 
not available on Linux, these days, is embarrassing - students using 
Linux as their operating system are being placed at a clear disadvantage 
by that school.
