for the CC meeting: "4. next OOoCon: I suggest we announce the next
OOoCon now, and propose, following Jacqueline's lead, that we make it
Lyon.".
Given that Asia is becoming a large market for OOo would it be
reasonable to look at somewhere in that region for next year.
Say Singapore for instance...
I really think Singapore would be a good start. As being a Singaporean
myself, I trust the public support on new innovations. There are a few
annual computer events held in Singapore which attracts alot of people.
If we can hope the OOocon during one of these events together with other
marketing programme, I do see a chance to penetrate into the mass. Not
to forget about the larger amount of OEM retailers that set up their
booth during those events. They can also be the potential targets to
pre-install OOo into their systems. Language is not a problem since
majority of the Singapore can speak English (or I would say we are
bilingual). So it would probably be an easier start than plunge into
China straight on. Indonesia is also just close by and it would be good
to fly by indonesia for some 'official' promotion to the relevant
authority. Malaysia as well.
Just my thought.
