DO NOT submit proposals yet!</strong></p> <h2>About the OpenOffice.org Conference</h2> <p>The OpenOffice.org Community is now accepting proposals for hosting its annual international conference, OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon) 2011. Since the first conference in 2003, OOoCon has been held in Germany, Slovenia, France, Spain, China and Italy, and will be held in Hungary in the fall of 2010 - could your local OpenOffice.org community rise to the challenge in 2011?</p> <p>Hosting OOoCon is challenging, rewarding, exhilarating, exhausting... and can provide a huge publicity boost for OpenOffice.org in your country.</p> <h2>Submitting a proposal</h2> <p>Proposals should be submitted <u><b>before midnight UTC on Sunday, February 21<sup>st</sup> 2010</b></u> and must follow the following guidelines:</p> <h3>Section 1 - Mandatory Information</h3> <ul> <li>Proposed date<br /><i>There is no fixed date for OOoCon, although past conferences have been held in the autumn.</i></li> <li>Location with country and city</li> <li>Special visa or entry requirements<br /><i>like vaccinations</i></li> <li>Conference venues<br /><i>like university campus or municipal buildings</i></li> <li>Conference facilities<br /><i>like WiFi, video streaming and recording</i></li> <li>Accommodation<br /><i>especially any low cost hostels</i></li> <li>External transport links<br /><i>like nearest airports or train stations</i></li> <li>Internal transport links within city</li> <li>Team lead<br /><i>serves as the main contact person</i></li> <li>Team members<br /><i>all members should be willing and able to commit at least three hours per day to planning the conference during the last two weeks before OOoCon 2011</i></li> <li>Local events that are taking place in parallel, or immediately before/after</li> </ul> <h3>Section 2 - Your proposal</h3> <p>In 400 words or less, answer this question:<br /> <strong>Why should the Community award OOoCon 2011 to your team?</strong></p> <p><em>Note:</em> The team running 2011 would be expected to 'shadow' the 2010 team, to help them with the 2010 event, and prepare better for their own OOoCon the following year.</p> <h3>Section 3 - Protecting the Environment & Hosting an Online Conference</h3> <p>In an effort to support a sustainable world, the OpenOffice.org project not only provides a sustainable product and file format, but wants to be environmentally conscious and reduce our carbon footprint whenever possible. Therefore, we ask every team creating a proposal for the OOoCon Call for Locations to consider the following:</p> <ul> <li>What aspects of the OOo Conference can be organized in keeping with the desire to be environmentally friendly?</li> <li>Are there options like shared shuttle services and public transportation?</li> <li>Catering might also be arranged to have less disposable containers, e.g. fruit on wooden sticks, glass bottles for water/drinks (and offer straws but no cups)</li> </ul> <p>We also look into the possibility of hosting a purely online conference, i.e. taking place using internet conferencing systems. For example by way of IRC, Skype, phone or video conferencing, webinars, or whatever technologies you know of that can help our community connect and exchange information in a live format.</p> <p>As usual, the community will consider all proposals and vote to decide where the next OOoConference will be, whether or not it is a face to face meeting or an oline event.</p> <h2>Submitting a Proposal</h2> <p>Proposals should be sent to <a href= "mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>. The deadline for submissions is <strong><u>midnight UTC on February 21<sup>st</sup> 2010</u></strong>.</p> <p>Shortly after that date we will publish the applications and start the selection process, during which Community members will be invited to make their preferences known through a community consultation process.</p> <p>Information about previous OpenOffice.org Conferences can be found at <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/";>the OOoCon website</a>. The proposals submitted for OOoCon2009 are available <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2009/cfl/";>here</a>.</p> <p>Thank you and good luck with your proposals!</p> <p>The OpenOffice.org Conference Team.</p> </div> </body> </html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
