that might be an option, and I don't object of having virtual
conferences and RegiCons next to the OOoCon. However, at least one
OOoCon a year is crucial, IMHO.
But would you think the same if you lived in New Zealand - or Canada - or
Vietnam?
What we need to consider here is that people live in different time
zones. 9 am in London, as global time reference, means 1 am in Los
Angeles and 10 pm in New Zealand.
I enjoy OOoCons very much, meeting old friends, and making new ones. I
don't know how effective they are for attracting new community members. A
team needs to be already well established and successful to make a
successful bid for an OOoCon. We have never held an OOoCon in North
America, where our presence is comparatively weak.
Doing North America, preferably close to Redmond :-), or Brazil would
certainly be great.
