hi,
I'm helping out a wee bit with this effort with publicity. Someone mentioned that we need to get onto forums. I agree. That is where the community can be helpful. Please just email two people about this effort, and please post a notice on just one forum. So far, here is just a few of the publicity links that we have achieved:
LockerGNOME:
http://channels.lockergnome.com/linux/archives/20060616_new_grassroots_effort_to_spread_openofficeorg_launched_in_new_york_city.phtml
The OpenOffice.org general discussion mailing list (one of the most heavily read):
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=57425
There is also a Google discuss group:
http://groups.google.com/group/ooads
There is Ben's Solid Office website:

And Ben's home website:

Solveig Haughland's OOo Training, Tips, and Ideas website:

And those are just the forums that I personally know about. Please feel free to post a notice about this effort, and please come back here and let us know where you have posted it! Thanks!
