With just five weeks to go to OOoCon in Barcelona, time is running out to register for OOoCon and snap up those last-minute travel bargains to this popular tourist destination. Already nearly five hundred people have registered for the three day event, which thanks to the generosity of our sponsors will be the biggest conference in OpenOffice.org's history: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/sponsorship.html
If you have not yet decided to attend, the conference programme and abstracts of the conference sessions are available online to whet your appetite: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme.html Highlights this year include keynotes from Louis Suarez-Potts and Hu Cai Yong. Louis Suarez-Potts, Community Manager for OpenOffice.org at Sun Microsystems, will present a paper about "OpenOffice.org 3.0 and beyond". Hu Cai Yong is CEO of the Community's newest major corporate sponsor, Redflag CH2000, and will be challenging delegates to think truly global: "designing good applications for the citizens of the world means thinking beyond technology". An innovation this year is an "ODF Camp" organized by the OASIS ODF Adoption Committee to run in parallel with OOoCon on Thursday 20th. This will be a 'hands-on' session for developers working on ODF (OpenDocument Format) who are interested in identifying and resolving differences among key implementations of the ODF, especially as they relate to text processing. Although ODF is an independent open standard implemented in a number of applications, it is also the format used by OpenOffice.org, and so there is a wide overlap of interest between the OOo and ODF communities: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/odf_camp.html Registration for OOoCon is optional, but it is enormously helpful for the organisers in planning a smooth-running OOoCon.
