Rollie Hawk writes "Having trouble converting your family and office mates into OpenOffice devotees? NewsForge (Owned by the same people that bring you Slashdot) can now help you convince the visual learners around you that they can do it. NewsForge is releasing a series of free video segments that demonstrate OpenOffice in action from installation to day-to-day use. According to the site, these clips will play on any browser on any operating system as long as Flash is available. One practical topic that should be particularly interesting to the would-be business converts is 'making a slide presentation in a hurry.'"

    If they were made by the MS Office team, you'd come up with some complaint and get modded up for it, like here

    but for anything Open Source, you post some content free praise like this and get modded up for that.

    Well congratulations, but what's the point? Do you really anyone is going to switch to OSS because of your propaganda post on /.? Software is a tool made by engineers. It's not as if everything done by one group is bad, or that everything done by another group is good. Even worse, zealots like you actually make things worse for the stuff you hype.
