Sounds about right.

IMO Linux works, but yes I know what you refer to - It wouldn't bother
me to use the more verbose.

Also, just looking at the entry pages from last years show:
http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/exhibitor/open-media-now.html
being an example, maybe I want to pull back on that less is more idea,
maybe not quite that much less.

so - for a first paragraph then:



LibreOffice - A Free Open Source suite of office applications. 
Available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.

<then something about the Document Foundation for paragraph 2>

<List Modules or Standards compliance for the 3rd paragraph>

Then maybe that is brief enough.

Thanks
