Evening Talk on OpenOffice.org on 8 January 2004

MNCC-OSSIG will kick off 2004 by organising its first evening talk for the new year on 8 January, entitled: "OpenOffice.org - Is it an Alternative to Microsoft?" The is a presentation to address issues like why OOo, the OOo movement, licensing, the MS Office compatibility aspects of OOo, the additional features (like one-click PDF export, export to Macromedia Flash, etc...), accessibility, internationalisation, and some of the projects we've run or participated in, e.g. how a local company, atSC, is providing CDs that come from the UK to schools here.

The talk is targetted at:

    * End users - especially those who are interested to explore using OOo in their organizations
    * Developers - there will be a bit about OOo development, tools required and how things work
