href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org Marketing 
Project&lt;/a&gt; received &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/02/10/and-then-there-were-six/&quot;&gt;six
 proposals&lt;/a&gt; for hosting the OpenOffice.org &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/&quot;&gt;Annual 
International Conference&lt;/a&gt; (OOoCon), and we eventually awarded &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/&quot;&gt;OOoCon 
2008&lt;/a&gt; to Beijing, China.  This year&amp;#8217;s &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl/cfl.html&quot;&gt;Call
 for Location&lt;/a&gt; opened on December 29th last year, and closed at 
midnight UTC last night.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I never know quite what to expect when I look in the Inbox, but this 
year we have received seven proposals, from all round the world. These 
proposals will be posted in full on the OOoCon 2009 website in due course, but 
to whet your appetite, here&amp;#8217;s a sneak preview of the 
proposals:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Alexandria, Egypt: June 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Budapest, Hungary: early September, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Guwahati, India: November 10-12, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Orvieto, Italy: November 3-5, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Quezon City, Philippines: November 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Reykjavik, Iceland: September 16-18, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Riga, Latvia: November 12-13, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We have had some brilliant conferences over the years, but it is hard 
work indeed for a team to start from scratch, and run an event the size of 
OOoCon after as little as four months&amp;#8217; preparation.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This year, we would like to try a change in the way we award OOoCon. 
We would like to award not just OOoCon 2009, but also OOoCon 2010. The team 
selected for OOoCon 2010 would be expected to work alongside the OOoCon 2009 
team, to help them with OOoCon 2009, and also learn how to make OOoCon 2010 
even better. Then next year we would award OOoCon 2011, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This means that teams would have an extra year to prepare for OOoCon, 
and would also be able to help with, and learn from, the team from the year 
before.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;So this may lead to some changes in the way we decide how OOoCon is 
awarded, but we will still be looking for community members to have a major 
influence in the decision. So if you&amp;#8217;re planning to attend, please 
read the proposals carefully as soon as they&amp;#8217;re 
posted!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2009/02/02/this-year-its-seven/</link>
+       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Last year, the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org Marketing 
Project&lt;/a&gt; received &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/02/10/and-then-there-were-six/&quot;&gt;six
 proposals&lt;/a&gt; for hosting the OpenOffice.org &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/&quot;&gt;Annual 
International Conference&lt;/a&gt; (OOoCon), and we eventually awarded &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/&quot;&gt;OOoCon 
2008&lt;/a&gt; to Beijing, China.  This year&amp;#8217;s &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl/cfl.html&quot;&gt;Call
 for Location&lt;/a&gt; opened on December 29th last year, and closed at 
midnight UTC last night.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I never know quite what to expect when I look in the Inbox, but this 
year we have received seven proposals, from all round the world. These 
proposals will be posted in full on the OOoCon 2009 website in due course, but 
to whet your appetite, here&amp;#8217;s a sneak preview of the 
proposals:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Alexandria, Egypt: June 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Budapest, Hungary: early September, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Guwahati, India: November 10-12, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Orvieto, Italy: November 3-5, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Quezon City, Philippines: November 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Reykjavik, Iceland: September 16-18, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Riga, Latvia: November 12-13, 2009&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We have had some brilliant conferences over the years, but it is hard 
work indeed for a team to start from scratch, and run an event the size of 
OOoCon after as little as four months&amp;#8217; preparation.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This year, we would like to try a change in the way we award OOoCon. 
We would like to award not just OOoCon 2009, but also OOoCon 2010. The team 
selected for OOoCon 2010 would be expected to work alongside the OOoCon 2009 
team, to help them with OOoCon 2009, and also learn how to make OOoCon 2010 
even better. Then next year we would award OOoCon 2011, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This means that teams would have an extra year to prepare for OOoCon, 
and would also be able to help with, and learn from, the team from the year 
before.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;So this may lead to some changes in the way we decide how OOoCon is 
awarded, but we will still be looking for community members to have a major 
influence in the decision. So if you&amp;#8217;re planning to attend, please 
read the proposals carefully as soon as they&amp;#8217;re 
posted!&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
