Re: [libreoffice-users] How many of you deal with the Linux Users Group [Facebook]?

Hi :)
Google do seem to be a bit evil and unsupportive sometimes.  Oddly they
were on the Advisory Board for TDF when they removed ODF support for their
products!  - or sometime around then.  Apple were based on BSD, a
brother/sister to Gnu&Linux, but went off in a proprietary/secretive
direction.  "Google Summer of Code" and many of their other things are
great but they definitely tend to do odd things at others.
Regards from
a Tom :)
