-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [OOoCon] OOoCon 2006 - Call for Location Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 12:21:04 +0100 From: Erwin Tenhumberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi all, Last year we sent out the call for location that I attached to the end of this message. From what I have heard we want to use the same process for OOoCon 2006 again. However, we don't want to lose as much time as we did last year. Thus, please make suggestions for changes and enhancements until December 14 (one week from now), so that we can send out the new call for location before the Christmas break. Thanks a lot, Erwin Dear OpenOffice.org community members, After Hamburg in 2003 and Berlin in 2004, we are searching for the perfect location for the OpenOffice.org Conference in 2005. We are collecting applications from teams who are willing to organize OOoCon 2005 in locations outside Germany. Interested teams should send their applications to the mailing list [email protected] in the following format: Key Question ============ * In 200 words or less, answer this question: Why is your location and the date you propose the best for the OOoCon 2005?
