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.
I agree and if you remember I started a discussion on the list with a
similar comment with regard to Linux Confs and where we need to focus,
back in February.
My comments then still apply.

Hi
This is a round up of the linuxworld 2005 expo written by an attendee,
with a sort of negative slant on OOo not attending, seen in these
choice quotes:
"But the biggest surprise wasn't who was there, but who wasn't--the
OpenOffice.org folks."
"The bottom line is that not having a booth hurts OpenOffice.org in
particular, and the whole Open Source movement in general."
The author also goes into Sun's relationship and licencing of OOo, and
IBM's own deriviative.
An interesting read, and the marketing lessons might be something to
think about for the future.
