2009 is sooner than we think but probably not as soon as some of us
would like. it's time, too, to think about events where OOo should be.
Florian and John are also on this. Some funding from the CC is likely
to be available for *big* targeted events.
As well, as we've often suggested, we need to place such events in a
wiki or equivalent technology. I think that there are several options
out there. I'm fine with a wiki but it's a little clumsy for a calendar.
For the two events below, I would like to ask the CC for appropriate
funding.
Events
======
* LCA09: 19-22 January Hobart, Australia (Tasmania, actually)
I am presenting there on OOo and also will be on a panel on Foss
business. Our miniconference proposal was not accepted. LCA is
important and if those in the area wish to staff a booth or be there
for BoFs or impromptu meetings, please, let's do this.
* Fosdem 09: 6-9 February, Brussels, Belgium. OOo will have not just
a stand but also a DevRoom, on Saturday 07 Feb. Last year was a
terrific success. it's not clear, however, that this year we will be
able to have as many from Hamburg there, but I do hope that we can
have some key developers. Fosdem is a *developer event* and for that
reason it's also a crucial event for cross-project networking and
learning.
These are just the two most immediate ones that come to mind and do
not include those in India, Asia, Africa, or even Latin America.
Please suggest others and, ideally, put them in a wiki that we can
then edit (or if not a wiki, an equivalent). Fwiw, many of the usual
events, such as LinuxTag, I have not listed; feel free to do so, and
do not feel bound by any notion that the event must be in English.
Marketing is for all projects, including developer ones.
As well, some of the classic ones have changed time. Eg., Fisl has
moved to end of summer and Oscon is now at the end, too, and in San
Jose, USA.
