"OpenOffice.org Free Software Proves a Success at WalMart"
Here are more cool OpenOffice.org news:
"Conference delegates watched a message from John Lin, General Manager, Everex: "On July 18th 2007, Everex launched its first 'Back to School' PC with OpenOffice.org 2.02 into WalMart stores throughout the United States. The response was fantastic. Not only did Everex receive rave reviews in the media, but consumer interest resulted in a three-fold increase in web traffic to everex.com. Feedback from WalMart was also very positive: they have requested all our future units include OpenOffice.org productivity software. Everex would like to thank everyone involved in OpenOffice.org for their help and support, and congratulations again for providing the world with such a wonderful product.""

The OpenOffice.org Conference in Barcelona just started
The OpenOffice.org Conference in Barcelona just started. I'll upload my first pictures later, but I can say that the university building, i.e. the conference venue, is very impressive! The first pictures are already available on Flickr, and I'm sure that more will be added over the next few days.

All the people who cannot attend the conference in person should check out the conference website and the OOoCon page by kiberpipa. Like in previous years, kiberpipa will provide video streams of all the sessions and the slides will be published on the conference website. I hope you'll enjoy the conference, even if you can't be in the warm and sunny city of Barcelona!
