OOo is sufficient for evangelical use

Posted on 14/3/2006, 8:23 am, by Colin Charles, under General.

In some surreal goodness, the Energizer Life Church in Hobart, Tasmania runs an all Mac shop, and they use (get this) Keynote for their announcements!

I told them all this was rather expensive and a misuse of church funds, and looking at Linux and OpenOffice.org will make sense in their next upgrade cycle. Besides, they can’t even get more volunteers to help, seeing that only two folk know how to use Keynote/OSX.

OOo has this wonderful advantage of being cross-platform. And even on a Mac, running in X11 full screen mode, is ideal for presentations. I’ll have to get playing with OOo Base in the near future, because combined with the Migration Assistant, there can be some powerful “NGO desktop”-styled switches.

    I’m using Neooffice/J (http://www.neooffice.org/) for my MacOSX. It is an OpenOffice fork. It is an openoffice!!! but with native widgets and java
