Yes, us taking a more active role is definitely a good idea.

Yep, will do.

To be honest, I'm not really sure if Dell is envisioning itself as
*marketing* LibreOffice here, as the platform is an Ubuntu laptop for
developers -- a skunkworks project. Inclusion of a suite of office
productivity tools is secondary or tertiary to the primary gist.

That being said, we are talking about a linux-y laptop, and the geeky
folks who are likely to buy one are also more likely to know and
appreciate a FOSS suite like LibreOffice. Just getting a LO logo in
the config screens instead of a MS-Office logo will be a nice touch.
