    Hello,

    Next Sunday 25 of April, one of the biggest newspapers in Spain, el Periodico
    de Catalunya[1] is going to give away for free a copy of a CD-ROM that we at
    Softcatalà put together with software localised into Catalan. The Catalan
    government is paying the cost of producing the copies of the CD-ROM. The
    CD-ROM includes OpenOffice.org, Abiword, Mozilla, FireFox, and other free
    software tools and documents localised into Catalan by the people arround the
    Softcatalà community. Windows and GNU/Linux versions are included.

    You can see how the CD-ROM looks like at:

    The newspaper has produced 310.000 copies of the CD-ROM :). This is the large
    action never done in Catalonia to distribute free software to end-users. It's
    so cool to put some many hours of efforts in translation and software
    developers in the end-users hands!.

    Jordi,
