Hello fellow marketing colleagues,

OpenOffice.org will exhibit at LinuxTag in Berlin which takes place at the end of June and will have a dedicated OpenOffice.org track for one or two days, like we had last year:

(German only, sorry...)

Many project members will travel there, so I intend to request some funding for this event as well. I don't have an actual overview on the numbers yet, and I do know that parts of the cost will be covered by LinuxTag as well as by OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V.

As I did with CeBIT, I'd love to "reserve" some money and release the rest back to the project. (For CeBIT, we reserved 3.000 EUR and in the end needed about 1.500).

Can I apply for 1.000 EUR from the marketing budget, which will be used for travelling and lodging for the speakers and other booth volunteers? What do you think?

LinuxTag is particularly important to us as it has a rather different target audience from other trade shows. LinuxTag is a much less formal trade show compared to CeBIT or Systems, a little bit like FOSDEM. Entry is quite cheap, and it's all about community and development. As we want to strengthen our community and get new developers, I consider it an ideal platform for doing so.

What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Florian
