I have been an avid Open Office user for over 8 years now, and an an
IT manager have been propoting it wherever I can.
I also do Archery as a hobby, and this year have written a CALC
spreadsheet to assist with running a "World Record Status" tournament.
Blank forms, target lists, highly formatted and configured data entry
sheet, plus macros to do complex calculations and leader boards.
I will be offering this to the UK governing body (www.gnas.org) for
archery, but as I have avoided Excel, they will need to distribute it
along with OpenOffice. They have a quarterly glossy magazine posted to
all members (a couple of thousand), and I could suggest that they
include a CD containing OpennOffice and the spreadsheet to all members
(or on a request basis if the costs were prohibitive).
Have you seen similar exercises in the past, and do you think it is
worth pursuing?

Well done with your project. Your proposal sounds interesting.
We have been distributors of OpenOffice.org on CD and DVD since 2003.
I'll contact you off-list to discuss the details and whether we may be
able to help.
Regards,
James
