Hi folks! With the excitement around the release of LibreOffice 4, I was curious to know about past and future "enterprise" deployments of LibreOffice, or, more broadly speaking, the market demand for a free and open source office suite.
I'm looking for the answer to these questions: - Which government institutions are deploying LOo or planning to do so? - In the private sector, which companies are publicly known to use LOo? Ideally we should at least have some ballpark economic figures to go along with those. So far, I didn't see anything related to that in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing or https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Deployment_and_Migration Although I'm a huge fan of LibreOffice, I'm also curious to know - to the extent of what is known - about the same data regarding OpenOffice (given how entrenched it has been as a trademark in the last decade or so). Marketing-wise, we can't afford to underestimate the power of that brand, although we are slowly eroding it. Thus, if we can, we should also document OpenOffice's recent marketing successes in comparison to ours. Wikipedia has pretty much nothing except the French giving out USB keys of LOo. The only other mention I could find is one obscure sentence in http://www.h-online.com/open/features/LibreOffice-a-dive-into-the-unknown-1355159.html saying that it has been deployed for a "hospital workforce of 25,000 in Denmark". In contrast, the story around OpenOffice is more complete and impressive to the unsuspecting reader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openoffice#Market_penetration So, do you folks have insights on the questions above? (and if so, we should probably centralize this knowledge on a wiki page. Alternatively, I could update Wikipedia with relevant links you may suggest) Best regards, Jean-François -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
