Friends of OpenDocument Inc could help fund travel and accommodation expenses for someone suitable to attend this event as a representative of the LibreOffice Docs Team.
Unfortunately, most of the active members of the team (that I'm aware of) are not located in North America, so the time and expense involved in getting to the conference are probably not practical. I would love to go myself, and have the time available, but Australia is too far away and I'm avoiding entering the USA anyway.
