I specifically did not go because I don't feel it's the best place to

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.
This as very interesting. It is consistent with my frustration at our
traditional imbalance spending too much effort within the FLOSS black
box, preaching to the converted. So I support the sentiment expressed
here about conferences.
But that aside, OOo booth at LWE has always been a critical venue for
candid exchange of info with WIN32 DEVELOPERS (!!!) who are eager to
port their work out of that dead end (into the open stack). Just the
ticket.
The other part that's not being done is getting in front of the
Windows-Using community. We have very little time and overlap
there....where it is most needed.

My comments then still apply.
