China market has great influence on the promotion of OOo China boasts the broadest potential user market in the world. At present, the number of computer users has hit 137 million and users of broad band Internet access have amounted to over 100 million. OOo community, as a global open community and organization, has enjoyed a very high popularity and reputation while it has not been familiarized by China industry insiders; therefore, choosing Beijing to host OOo annual conference 2007 shall be the best and the most direct means to enhance OOo's popularity in China and allow OOo to play a more critical role throughout the world. OOo annual conference to be held in China will substantially increase loyal OOo users In China, there are 10 million sets of OpenOffice.org software pre-installed in the computer along with Linux or other channels every year while only less than 5% of end users will use OO , for which main reason is that China users have not much idea about OOo. Hence, OOo annual conference to be held in Beijing will showcase the power of the community and strengthen users' understanding of open source software; according to our estimation, OOo annual conference in Beijing will turn over 25% of China users with pre-installed OO's into loyal users. Beijing Municipality supports open source software campaign Since 2001, Beijing Municipality has actively propelled the application of open source software and in 2001 and 2002 a great deal of OO and Linux products were adopted for governmental procurement of Beijing; in the subsequently launched project of Sailing, open source software was required to be comprehensively applied in office systems of the municipal government and all participating enterprises producing open source software are asked to contribute corresponding achievement to the community. As the first local government adopting OO in China, Beijing has been always promoting OOo products and now there are over 200 local governments using OOo products in China. OOo annual conference in Beijing may facilitate the combination of China standard UOF with ODF Since early 2002, Beijing Municipality, together with other relevant enterprises, has been practicing the promotion and formulation of open document format standard. Currently, the promotion of incorporation of document format standard UOF, formulated by China, and ODF, is a course the Beijing Municipality and relevant enterprises (such as SUN, Redflag CH2000 Co.,Ltd and IBM, etc) are propelling. The year of 2007 is a year that decides whether a critical step can be taken in incorporation of two standards. In this case, OOo annual conference in Beijing will allow Chinese senior leaders to really accept that open document format is an unavoidable trend of global information technology. With rapid development of China IT industry, China is becoming the software research and development center of the world. Since there are many quality software RD professionals, OOo annual conference to be held in Beijing will allow more technicians to understand OOo and make more contribution to the community. Beijing welcomes all worldwide OOo elites Beijing is a city with ancient culture and modern civilization. Living costs for accommodation, transportation and catering are much lower than those of the European countries and there are many convenient direct flights to Beijing from all over the world. In 2006, Forum on China-Africa Cooperation had been held successfully in Beijing and subsequently the 29th Olympic Games will be also hosted in 2008. Therefore, Beijing has enough power to host OOo conference and she will try her best to ensure successful delivery of the conference. Preparatory committee of the conference will provide you with convenient service: Each participant is only requested to pay 200 Euro including all accommodation expenses during 3-day conference and they can also enjoy free travel two days after the

[openoffice] OOoCon2007 Barcelona Proposal
Dear OpenOffice.org Community, I would like to officially propose Barcelona as the place to hold the OpenOffice.org Conference 2007. Barcelona is one of the most dynamic and stylish cities in the world. It is always on the biting cutting edge of architecture, food, fashion, style, music and night life. The people, with their exuberance, their creative spirit, and their persistent egalitarianism, are an example of coexistence and integration of cultures. Barcelona today is a city prepared to receive thousands of visitors everyday. It is very well connected, and there is accommodation available to host the whole OpenOffice.org Community and many more. For instance, in addiction, flying to Barcelona from most European countries is very cheap when you book in advance with the appropriate low-cost companies. The Catalan Native Lang Project is one of the historic projects inside the OpenOffice.org Community. Although small and humble, it's been here since the very beginning of the OpenOffice.org project, much before the existence of the Native Lang Community. We worked together with Sun in 2000 to translate OpenOffice.org 1.0 into the Catalan language and since then we have continued our work on a volunteer basis for seven years. It is true that we are small team, but we have distributed more than 2 million copies of OpenOffice.org in Catalan for a population of approximately 10 million speakers around the world. Altogether, the Catalan, Spanish, Basque and Galician communities will work hard to make Barcelona the best place to hold an OpenOffice.org Conference. We hope to hear as many languages as possible here, especially the voices of all those small teams of translators that are the true treasure of the OpenOffice.org Community. Yours sincerely, Jesús Corrius Catalan Native Lang Project Leader - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Key Question. Why is your location and the date you propose the best for OOoCon 2007? * Airports (Barcelona, Reus, Girona) with easy access to international flights and with regular low cost flights. * Nice Mediterranean weather and excellent food * Strong localization community (based fully on voluntary work) * Interest from the local government in free software * More than 100 local companies working on free software services and products * Lots of cultural activities: museums, modernist buildings. * Terrific night life Location (country, city, conference center/university) Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain).

Local events taking place in parallel (or right before/after) * 11th of September is the National Day of Catalonia * 19th - 22nd September: Drupalcon Barcelona 2007 Special visa or entry requirements, e.g. vaccinations We recommend that you ensure you remain legal while resident in Spain and do not try to enter the country without the required paperwork. There is a large population of illegal immigrants and this is a politically sensitive issue so there are efforts being made to prevent entry and to find and deport people living illegally in the country. Citizens of the European Union are not required to get a visa for Spain since they already have the right to residency. Non-EU citizens visiting Spain need a visa (visado) in order to enter and visit Spain, unless there exists a special agreement between Spain and your home country; these countries are those of North South America in addition to: Andorra, Australia, Brunei, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Gibraltar, Grenada, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia and Switzerland.
