[native-lang] Re: [marketing] What to do for 10 years OpenOffice.org?

I suggest that we have a global event like "software freedom day" or 
"document freedom day". That is having events celebrating the 
anniversary everywhere around the world in the same day. All organizers 
of the event should register the plan in a wiki and may get some 
materials like a few official tea-shirts.
