Yeah Malaspina in Nanaimo is the same why, luckily I control Cowichan
and can put OOo in the labs but start putting posters and letters about
OpenOffice in washrooms, hallways, notice boards, etc.  They have a good
"Get legal" blurb that just came out.  Many people still don't know
about OpenOffice.

The get leagl blurb is here.  I made it into a poster and started
putting it up everywhere at Malaspina Cowichan.  I'm going to buy a
hundred CD's and put them in the Library for next September so students
can get it easily.

Let the world hear about it.  Lets get started, hell, even paste it up
around town.
