These proposals will be posted in full on the OOoCon 2009 website in due course, but to whet your appetite, here&#8217;s a sneak preview of the proposals:</p> -<ul> -<li>Alexandria, Egypt: June 2009</li> -<li>Budapest, Hungary: early September, 2009</li> -<li>Guwahati, India: November 10-12, 2009</li> -<li>Orvieto, Italy: November 3-5, 2009</li> -<li>Quezon City, Philippines: November 2009</li> -<li>Reykjavik, Iceland: September 16-18, 2009</li> -<li>Riga, Latvia: November 12-13, 2009</li> -</ul> -<p>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&#8217; preparation.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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&#8217;re planning to attend, please read the proposals carefully as soon as they&#8217;re posted!</p></content> - <author> - <name>John McCreesh</name> - <uri>http://www.mealldubh.org</uri> - </author> - <source> - <title type="html">Meall Dubh » OpenOffice.org</title> - <subtitle type="html">a view from a dark hill</subtitle> - <link rel="self" href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed"/> - <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed</id> - <updated>2009-02-13T12:00:14+00:00</updated> - </source> - </entry> - - <entry xml:lang="en"> - <title type="html">Not everybody has broadbandâ¦</title> - <link href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2009/02/01/not-everybody-has-broadband/"/> - <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=631</id> - <updated>2009-02-01T20:30:31+00:00</updated> - <content type="html"><p><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=382">We released OpenOffice.org 3.0.1</a> last week.

It is the premier event for anyone interested in or working with OpenOffice.org. OOoCon is where representatives of all the community projects meet to celebrate and learn from the achievements of the past twelve months, and discuss how to meet the challenges of the next twelve.<br /><br />We are now starting a Community consultation to help us decide where to hold OOoCon 2009 and OOoCon 2010. If you were a registered member of the OpenOffice.org community on January 1st 2009 and would like to attend OOoCon, please let us know your preferred location.<br /><br />The Consultation closes at midnight UTC on February 27th.<br /><br />For full details, please visit:<br /><a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl">http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl</a><br /><br />Who is a registered member of the Community?<br /><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/guidelines.html">http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/guidelines.html</a><br /><br />For more information about OOoCon please visit:<br /><a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference">http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference</a><br /><br />The OpenOffice.org Conference Team</description> - <pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:00:34 +0000</pubDate> + <pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:26:58 +0000</pubDate> <author>[email protected] (floeff)</author> </item> <item> @@ -348,36 +392,6 @@ <pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:01:42 +0000</pubDate> <author>[email protected] (floeff)</author> </item> -<item> - <title>John McCreesh: This year itâs seven</title> - <guid>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=632</guid> - <link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2009/02/02/this-year-its-seven/</link> - <description><p>Last year, the <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org">OpenOffice.org Marketing Project</a> received <a href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/02/10/and-then-there-were-six/">six proposals</a> for hosting the OpenOffice.org <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/">Annual International Conference</a> (OOoCon), and we eventually awarded <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/">OOoCon 2008</a> to Beijing, China. This year&#8217;s <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl/cfl.html">Call for Location</a> opened on December 29th last year, and closed at midnight UTC last night.</p> -<p>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.
