Good news for 330 million people
November 23rd, 2008Spanish is spoken as a first language by about 330 million people and as a second language by perhaps another 50 million, which makes it the number two mother tongue in the world.
So, the news that the OpenOffice.org Users’ Community Forum is now open for business in Spanish is good news for a lot of OpenOffice.org users.
Of course, OpenOffice.org software is available in over 100 localisations, and has Native Language Community support for over 80 languages. The Community Forum is just the latest addition to our support services.

Dear Mr. Dubh,
I am a postgraduate student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am currently working on a research paper about CEO weblogs and would like to ask you a few questions on this.
I saw your comments on Johnnath Schwartz’s weblog and I hope you would take a few minutes to provide me with your valuable comments on the questions listed below. Your kind attention and contribution mean a lot to my paper.
1.Why are you interested in reading this CEO’s weblog? What other CEO weblogs you also browse?
2.What motivate you to write comments to these CEOs?
3.Do you expect the CEO will reply to your comments personally via email or via their weblog postings?
4.If the CEO do not reply you to your comments, how would you feel?
5.If the CEOs replied to your comments, will you feel you have established a relationship with them? Why?
6.Do you comment on the postings from other bloggers on these CEOs weblogs? Why?
7.Do you feel you have established a relationship with these bloggers?
8.Do you leave your contact details besides blog link?
9.Do you still trust this CEO if he/she has not replied to your comments?
Could you please reply to my email: olivine.lo@gmail.com?
Thanks a lot!
Best,

1.Why are you interested in reading this CEO’s weblog? What other CEO weblogs you also browse?
I don’t read it regularly – it turned up on Google
2.What motivate you to write comments to these CEOs?
I felt I had some useful feedback for him
3.Do you expect the CEO will reply to your comments personally via email or via their weblog postings?
No, I expect him to take on board the feedback from everyone posting
4.If the CEO do not reply you to your comments, how would you feel?
See 3.
5.If the CEOs replied to your comments, will you feel you have established a relationship with them? Why?
I would be more impressed if they acted on the feedback
6.Do you comment on the postings from other bloggers on these CEOs weblogs? Why?
No
7.Do you feel you have established a relationship with these bloggers?
8.Do you leave your contact details besides blog link?
If the site asks for it
9.Do you still trust this CEO if he/she has not replied to your comments?
I mistrust CEOs who show no sign of responding to feedback on their blogs. If a CEO just wants to broadcast a message, they should issue a PR. Using a blog means they are listening too, and are prepared to learn from and act on what they hear
