Re: [libreoffice-users] Template Changer

Hi :)
The official place for people to put templates they would like to share is;

http://templates.libreoffice.org/

As for fonts i am sure there are many crazy and fairly sane fonts out
there.  Are you planning to have your thesis printed professionally?  If so
it might be worth asking the printing company for their ideas.  If you want
to go all out then it might be worth paying for a font or hunting around
for an interesting free one but all that sounds like a distraction from the
main task.  Libertine may seem boring to you, but that's probably because
you have been using it for so long.  One positive with still using it is
that it "brands" it as being yours, and from a specific time in your life.
Other people will probably still see it as fresh and new and distinctly
you.

I tend to find flipping a coin helps me realise what i really want to do at
such moments (or i can always go with what the coin landed on).  Are you
just delaying completion or/and trying to be too perfectionist about it?
It's a lot of work and taken a lot of time to get to this point - are you
just doing what most of us would do and delaying moving on?  There is a
mantra in Open Source, "Release early and release often" because the
important thing is to get the work "out there" for people to see, use and
draw from for their own work.  By finally letting go and getting it out
there it enables people to give feedback and suggest 'improvements' (which
may or may not be as carefully considered as they think) to help (which may
or may not actually really help).
Regards from
Tom :)
