Re: Medal from Swedish computer magazine

Martin,

Thank you very much for recognizing Apache OpenOffice on your Top 20 list.

Would you consider writing an article about our project? There are several
ways we could work together to do this. One way is for you to send us a
list of your interview questions. We will reply on email and you will then
be able to edit your final draft more easily. Or, if you prefer, I can
organize an interview with some of our project volunteers who are most
close to the work.

We highly value your support and look forward to communicating with our
user community in Sweden.

Best regards,

Don Harbison

RE: Medal from Swedish computer magazine

Posted by "Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>.
Nice medal.

I notice a couple of things.  Their OpenOffice page features OO.o 3.3.0.  They do link to sv.openoffice.org (landing at www.openoffice.org/sv/) though.

That Swedish page of ours is out of date -- the latest news, apart from the 3.4.0 banner at the top, is on the release of 3.1.  

The page also doesn't automatically translate with Bing Translate, which I find interesting as well.  I was able to coax it but there are whole paragraphs not translated.  I didn't try pasting into Google translate.

I wonder if there is a need for language tags somewhere in the HTTP response headers and/or HTML <head> tags.

 - Dennis

Hello Donald!

We are not planning to write any articles about free software right now, 
but I am saving your e-mail address for the next time...

But I have one question at once. I received it from one of our readers, 
and I realised that I cannot give a correct answer.

The reader asked about the difference between Openoffice and Libreoffice? 
It looks like the same program - so what are the differences for a user?

Regards,

Martin Appel

PC för Alla has one of the most popular download sites for free programs

I am glad to inform you that Openoffice is one of the programs on our "Top

You can see the entire list and an article (in Swedish) on 
pcforalla.se/topp20. 

If you want to use the medal you are free to download and use it (as long

"Våren" is the Swedish word for spring, and "Topp" is spelled like that in 
Swedish! :-) 

Congratulations, and have a nice summer!
