OOo Art Project

This is a relatively new Marketing sub-project which aims to take care of the graphics art needed by the OpenOffice.org project. One of the most interesting actions lately is the design of a new plash-screen for version 2.0 of OpenOffice.org.

We are simply overwhelmed by the response from the graphical artists and by the huge number of submissions. Check out the Issue's 36491 attachments.

It is going to be a really tough decision for us to choose the new splashscreen.

Freedom of speach

One concern: in a country in which the freedom of the press has been taken, what happends when you give this freedom back ? Isn't there the danger that after a long period of silence, the formerly oppressed press will abuse its regained rights to speak freely ? What regulates the so called media power in a democratic society ?
