[Info] Presentation about free software on Windows
Hi all,

free software and AOO in Switzerland (as a third party, non official).

I will transmit the results of the try : bad or good ;-)

There is always activities for all levels, from doing templates and
contribute to our database:
http://templates.openoffice.org/
I have mentor kids that sign up for Google Code-In which is a program
for high school kids and google with open source software:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/
Not sure if OpenOffice will participate this year but we have
participate in the past and is a good way to contribute and get
instant recognition and prices.

Hi Alexandro,
Many thanks for these informations, Alexandro.
As I will have a stand in a commercial center in two weeks, perhaps I will
have an opportunity to discuss with people and collect some ideas and
advices about this question.
There are also other possible ways to collaborate, perhaps more accessible
for a school : extensions, translations, templates, etc. I will try to
explore also these possibilities with interested people.

There have been some cases where schools have contributed to the
project and a lot has been talked and posted. Maybe the blog would be
a good place for that article.
There are some testimonials on the openoffice wiki with Hitek school
and Seneca from back in 2010.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Courses/Seneca_College
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/HitekSchool
As an ex-leader of the Education project we welcomed schools willing
to engage with the project. And we worked on protocols to be able to
work withing the schools own protocols.

Hi Andrea,
Many thanks.
A little offtopic here but just as an introduction.
Could it be possible to produce for next year a little document explaining
how a school of Engineering for instance, could collaborate to the code of
the AOO project. Such a document could be sent by members of the project to
schools where they have already internal contacts to promote the AOO
project and to test their reaction. At the end of their studies the
students receive a projet to do. Could it not possible to have a list of
tasks which could be submit to schools as possible projects for their
students ?

Remember that you can ask to be listed at

This might also give you a little more visibility for future events.

Hi all,
Results are bad : only 2 participants.
But the feedbacks which I receive now about the material I have distributed
during my "marketing campaign" are good and encourage me to continue. So, I
don't understand very well why only 2 participants were present. But that's
life.
I will now do presentations as often as possible in various stores or
events.
BTW, for legal issues and to be allowed accept mandates from companies and
from the state, I had to create a company. It will act in the promotion and
help to the migration to free software, principally AOO and was officially
registered at the 01.06.14.
