OpenOffice.org is marking its 3rd Anniversary with a major initiative to bring the OpenOffice.org 1.1 office suite to students, schools and universities throughout the world.

 

In the UK...

 

"Skipton Girls High School, a Specialist Engineering School for Girls. . . are using this as an opportunity for global citizenship by getting students to burn OpenOffice.org 1.1 CDs for schools in areas of the world with no broadbansd access. This is good education, not just good economics. It has the potential to get pupils in contact across the world and generate greater international understanding."

That depends on what they mean by area :D. Not sure if they mean us :), maybe you can go on holiday to such a place :). Although going to the UK on holiday si also an option...

Well, it does say:

"It has the potential to get pupils in contact across the world and generate greater international understanding." ... (greater understanding of *ME*, MUHAHAHAHA ) :twisted:
