Hi AndrÃ,
>Hi *, > >not very much and not very new, but I hope, this is worth to tell. > >1st >Today the non profit association "OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V." als >been officially announced. It has been founded at the OOoCon in Berlin >by members of the germanophone project. The association is going to >support OOo with marketing activities and act as a "legal shell" for >germanophone project members. By now, we have 23 members and a good >start with fundings (given the short time of existence). Thanks to the >offer of the "Linux Hotel", we will have a two days OOo "insider >workshop" in early february (perfect for OOo 2.0 preparations). If >all runs well, we will have a first OOo users day in spring / summer. >We provide a special distribution of the PrOOo-Box (Boxed Version of >the german OOo CD-Image + Book). A set of OOo related books, written >by some of our members are in preparation. You might have a look at >www.ooodev.org for more infos (if German is no problem) Well, congratulations! I'd love to know how this works out, to see if it can be used as a model. I'm anxious, of course, that it may be competing with Team OpenOffice.org e.V., which is the general OOo "bank" in Europe (a US based one I am creating). > >2nd >We are going to attend some minor and major events and present OOo >within the next months. this will be >- LOTS (Let's Open The Source), Bern, 02/18-19 ( www.lots.ch/2005/) Will go on to box. I'm thinking of moving that increasingly big box off the homepage and on to ... any other good page. >- CeBIT, Hannover , 03/10-16 ( www.cebit.de ) Ah, of course! >- Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, Chemnitz, 03/05-06 ( chemnitzer.linux-tage.de ) Is this a new one? > >3rd - last not least Germanophone project has a new Co-Lead. >Jacqueline Rahemipour was elected in december by a significant >majority of the germanophone project's members. As I'm going to retire >as co-lead (actually I'm alreday gone ;-) ), she will be the head of >the project, together with Rolf Meyer. Those, who have been at the >OOoCon might remember her. Seems, that Christian Einfeld had some >future insights, as he took an interview with Jacqueline ;-) :-) Welcome Jacqueline! > >Ok, that's all for today. > >See you on the lists .. best wishes, > >Andre > Andre, I cannot begin to tell you how much the Project owes to you; how much I owe to you. Our solace is that you are only going to devote your very considerable energies and skills to other projects in OOo.
