[marketing-dev] Re: openoffice.ca about to expire

Hi all,
I replied to Mike directly.  
BTW, distressingly enough, but also practically, my normal contact information is widely available not just from spammers but also from our friend Google search.

Cheers
Louis
PS: YES I think we ought to secure the domain in Canada, land of persistent winter.

There are several registered trademarks called Open Office, Openoffice etc. on this planet, which have nothing to do with OOo. OOo has the one and only trademark OpenOffice.org, which is registered by Oracle. Hence, openoffice.ca may be a legal pitfall to some extend. Isn't there a Canadian OOo community which might be interested? At least Louis lives in Canada.
