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.

Amen. We have attended some: Ian Lynch and I attended he Moodle
Conference here in NZ. We were a little short on resources but we did
get the word out to a lot of educators.
Ian and Adam I think attended the NEA conf in the US earlier this year.
So we are doing a few things but I agree we do need to get developers to
the Linux Confs.
