I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.

From 2009 - 2010 I was  in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

The features that Don describes come as standard with Libre Office, there are also 'extensions' that you can add to it. One of my favourites is the Read Text extension (https://sites.google.com/site/readtextextension/)

There are so many excellent opensource cyber security tools to choose from, so I will cheat and pick a whole distro.

I will be teaching on a cyber security course next year and have to pick Kali Linux. Kali is a fantastic tool for cyber security pros and students making a lab of virtual machines.
