Hi,
Over the last week there has been some discussion on the marketing mailing
list regarding the possibility of OpenOffice.org hosting a booth at this
years ALA national conference in Washington, DC USA June of this year.
You can find information on this proposal at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/US/Home/ALA-2010
(the page will be updated over the coming few days as we put together a
final proposal)
Unfortunately the dead line for acquiring a booth is right around the corner
- but not with standing
Anyone interested in anyway is encouraged to let me know, let this list
know, add your name to the wiki...?
I personally feel this event would be a great stage to present the OO.o
story at, fertile soil for the planting of seed and am hoping that many here
will share my enthusiasm.
Thanks for the time and looking forward to hearing ideas, thoughts, comments
- questions?
I agree that this conference would be a great venue for showcasing
OOo, and I hope OOo will cover the cost.
I can't come (would love to, but I'm not flying into the USA again if
I can avoid it), but I can make printed copies of OOo user guides
available at no cost for display at the booth. Printed documentation
is usually viewed favourably as evidence of a "mature" product. By
June we might have a set of five books: GS, Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw.
I can also make sure Andy Brown has PDFs of the user guides to put on
the CDs with the program.
