NewsForge presents free OpenOffice.org training videos

Massachusetts is trying to convert all computerized state documents to
the open document format (odt). We think this is a fine idea. One
concern that's been expressed about this move (at least by Microsoft) is
that training employees to use OpenOffice.org 2.0 or other software that
uses non-proprietary file formats (in place of Microsoft Office) will be
time-consuming and costly. But what if basic OpenOffice.org training
materials were available online for free? As a public service for
Commonwealth of  Massachusetts employees (and everyone else), NewsForge
is presenting -- absolutely free of charge -- 11 OpenOffice.org training
videos as part of this article. They're excerpts from the video CD that
comes with NewsForge Editor-in-Chief Robin 'Roblimo' Miller's upcoming
book, Point & Click OpenOffice.org!, which will be available in December
from all major booksellers. But we wanted you to have access to these
videos now instead of waiting until the book is available, so here they
are.
