Hi Raphael, Your suggestion is a good one, but I think we also should try to approach such technical schools and universities because they have a big potential and also a great influence in the society. The principal issue is how to do that. There are, for me two available approach : #1 Directly through an official AOO presentation, a solution probably more complex and heavy which requires means that we perhaps don't really have. #2 Through an users association, not obligatory limited to OpenOffice, let's say an association which promotes the use of free software. The creation of an association classified "public utility" is simple in Switzerland, and offers some advantages.
The second solution has clearly my preference, because it allows to approach the potential users with a more regional color. Volunteers who have an interest to collaborate directly with the AOO project could be encourage to do it, others who don't will directly collaborate with the project, for questions of langage or maybe also cultural differences, are not lost for the project but have an opportunity to collaborate indirectly with the sensation of being a little more "at home". This solution could also allow to create more specific layers between the AOO project and the users, with a better proximity, which seems to me important for push the use of OpenOffice in the society in a multicultural context.
