I specifically did not go because I don't feel it's the best place to spend our time. These people already know OpenOffice. Being at OSCON I kind of discovered that the best people to be there are developers. Since a great deal of our developers are not from the western United States it would be difficult to have a contingency there.
What questions would he have asked? I don't think people go to linuxworld to find out what OpenOffice is. They already know. Their questions are more tech support specific and something that I think not all of us are prepared to answer.
