Hello,

My name is Henrik Nilsen Omma, and I am one of the project leaders of a
 new Open Source Project called TheOpenCD.  Our aim is to create a simple
 to use CD distribution of Open Source software for Windows, and in that
 way spread the OSS message. I'm writing to various LUGs to announce the
 launch of our first edition, and hope that you might find it a useful
 tool in promoting Linux and OSS to a wider public.

The disc allows new users can try out Open Source software (OSS) in the 
 comfort of their own, familiar operating system, rather than having to
 take  the drastic step of reformatting their hard drive to install Linux
 or BSD. The  collection, which includes OpenOffice.org, AbiWord and
 Beonex is primarily  intended for non-technical computer users. However,
 we expect that the disc  will appeal first to experienced OSS users, who
 will hopefully find it a  useful vehicle by which to introduce OSS to
 their less computer-savvy friends.

We invite all OSS enthusiasts to download the ISO, burn CDs and distribute
  them widely to friends, local schools, universities, and companies.  We 
 further encourage you all to stop by our to comment, discuss and
 contribute!

Best wishes,

	Henrik Nilsen Omma
	& TheOpenCD Team
