      1. @erkanyilmaz a lot :) professionally, at least. He started out being the marketing guy for OpenOffice just for fun, in his free time, and used his volunteer status as leverage - now it's his real job at LibreOffice (as "media spokesman"). I also learned that the UK government has made the Open Document format the official standard - that is potentially BIG!

        1. @mk @erkanyilmaz He says (about the UK decision to make ODF the official standard): "It may be like an avalanche: the first snowflake falls, then all the others follow" (Italo Vignoli) #
