[Klug-general] OpenOffice - Database

[Frank Attwood]

This may seem like a dumb question and I apologise if it's been covered
before but has anyone tried approaching funds and trusts such as the
national lottery? I know that they are not famed for funding software
projects but an application could potential press a lot of the right buttons
such social inclusion - due to Ooo being free, benefits to schools and other
community/ charity groups, benefits to minorities due to it's language
support and potential benefits to third world/ developing countries

Just an idea

Hi,

Some of you may of heard of this via other mailing lists, but we need
help raising money for the database section of OpenOffice in version
2.0. This may not be that important for end users, but is a major
function needed for UK schools as most will not leave Microsoft Office
without it. (Microsoft Access is highly imbedded into the curriculum
here).  We need to get Microsoft Office out of UK schools and this is
the only way we will be able to make it possible!!

For more information see:

Many Thanks,

Jo
