It would be important. I tried to get a free ticket (i.e., get someone else’s money to pay for my going from Toronto) and also debated asking AOO to help with subsidy, but I was also hoping that Svante or Ian Lynch could represent AOO there. (In fact, I thought Ian was planning on it; same too with Svante.) The ODF event is actually useful, at least judging from prior experiences. Things get done. Also, and of incalculable worth, people meet each other face to face. It’s not too late, as Michiel points out, and it is important, I think, to have someone versed in AOO and ODF to attend. -louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
