OpenOffice.org Metro Ad: Mission Accomplished

I just got an e-mail from Fundable to say they collected on my pledge to the OpenOffice.org Metro Ad Campaign, which means - yes, we've done it! I'm still trying to work out exactly what "marketing" means in a world of open source - which is why I'll be at Doc's talk on Tuesday - but whatever it means, collecting small contributions from across the community to fund an awareness-raising campaign for the general public is very cool.

Huge congratulations to Benjamin Horst for taking the initiative to orchestrate this, and to all the individual donors whoever you are for making this happen. If any New Yorker wanted to send me a copy of the newspaper when it comes out I would be very grateful.
