I know it has been a while since I last posted but Anti-piracy ads on the radio have prompted me to say that there is no reason to use pirated software. We, meaning CLUE members and affiliates, use F/LOSS but I think that we do not do enough to get our message to the general public. As a result, Microsoft Office, one of MS's best money generators, it is also one of the most pirated suites.

Can we, I mean CLUE, help? Yes we can by pointing to the OpenOffice.org
GET LEGAL campaign which provides details and background for making the switch.

As co-lead of the OpenOffice.org Documentation project I can tell you we have plently of freely available guides to help make the transition easy.
