Andrea,
on the behalf of the Beijing organizational team, I would like to thank
you for this great initiative.
I also want to take the opportunity here and ask everyone, who is
planning to attend the OOoCon in Beijing to take part in the OOoCon
pre-registration survey now. Please refer:
http://surveytest.services.openoffice.org/surveys/index.php?sid=74227&lang=en
Next week we will probably start the 'real' registration process. Please
take five minutes time and register yourself as early as possible for
two good reasons:
Firstly, we will try to get in touch with everyone ASAP in order to
offer help for the visa process.
Some important information we provide at:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoCon_2008_Visa_Procedures
Secondly, we desperately need some figures about the number of attendees
we can expect. We are in touch with some airlines to negotiate
discounted prices on flight tickets for OOoCon attendees. The final
result of our effort is strongly depending on the number of travelers we
can confirm with the airline. Hence, it will likely save *your* money.
Best regards from Beijing,
Peter

The PLIO Association (Italian OpenOffice.org Native-Lang Project)
is pleased to invite everyone involved in the Native-Lang Confederation
to join the meeting that will be held in Bolzano/Bozen (Italy) on
October 3rd, 2008.
Goal of the meeting is to prepare the discussion topics that will be
brought to Beijing: some European Native-Lang project members won't be
able to take the great opportunity offered by OOoCon 2008 and this way
they can delegate someone to bring their opinions to Beijing.
Native-Lang issues will also be discussed in greater detail than it is
usually possible during OOoCon. Attendance to the meeting will be free.
Specific topics to be discussed during the meeting will be decided on
the native-lang mailing list. At the moment, ideas include:
localization, QA, documentation, marketing, all from the point of view
of Native-Lang projects. Other proposals are welcome.
Bolzano (Bozen in German) is the capital city of South Tyrol, the German
speaking region in northern Italy. Thanks to its excellent services and
a wonderful landscape, it is constantly ranked among the first cities
when it comes to quality of life. Bolzano hosts major free software
deployments: more than 2500 computers in local schools were recently
upgraded to GNU/Linux and OpenOffice.org, and OpenOffice.org has been
installed since 2005 on all computers in the local institutions.
Bolzano is well-connected, being a major hub of the railway system in
Central Alps. It also has a small airport (BZO) with scheduled flights
provided by Air Alps to Rome and Hannover; other nearby airports are
Verona and Venice, and PLIO might organize transfer or pick-up services
from those airports to Bolzano. Highway A22 (Autostrada del Brennero,
Brennerautobahn) leads to Bolzano from South and North: Bolzano is about
280 km from Munich, Venice and Milan. The city and its metropolitan area
are well developed for tourism and you can find all kinds of
accommodation with a price range from 30 to 96 EUR for a single room per
night.

Regards,
Davide Dozza and Andrea Pescetti - Italian N-L Project Leads.
