[libreoffice-users] Libre Office listed in petition to promote the use of free software in our schools

Hi :)
I thought a few people on the Users List might be interested in this petition.  

Apparently you need to create a whitehouse.gov account to sign Petitions which would probably put 
me off signing.  On the other hand having a chance to kinda vote on single issues seems like a good 
thing.  Hmm, a tough choice.  
Regards from
Tom :)
