There is still time to apply for the Euro 300 bursary if that is
any help

Thanks a lot for your concern, but I won't apply.
Please help other people, who certainly need more than me.
from your post it seemed you needed funds for participating.
Indeed. One week ago (the 20th October), on my blog, I invited people
to donate, to avoid the cancelation : http://download.ooo4kids.org/en/
Donate (all funds go to the EducOOo association, dedicated to the
OpenOffice.org Education Project)
In fact, it was -probably- already too late, and I should have posted
before (too busy, my fault). Since, I verified yesterday : the
EducOOo (our non profit association) received less than 300 euros.
The fact is, the npa received not enough to help me, so my
participation is canceled.
That's completely normal.
Moreover your presentations were rather interesting.
Thank you very much :-)
Nevertheless, my absence is not that important : if you have
questions, or whatever, you can use the [email protected]
list, or ask us directly on IRC, and I'll be glad to answer you
anything I can.
It's really a pity you don't want to come.
I'm not sure to well understand what you wrote -probably my bad
english- but I assume I do not want to pay for contribute : more than
310 days over 365 a year counts, you can reach me on IRC, where I
help students, discuss code, work on the Education Project, and do my
best to contribute, and share.
That's enough for me.
Now, if we (the association) did not receive anything (I mean
donations) in return, it simply means that what we do is wrong, or
not what the people expect, and maybe it's time to stop.
For the one who have the memory, it was exactly the same last year
( OOoCon 2008, Beijin), with the difference I didn't apply. Strange,
nobody considered I had some important role to play (while I was
doing exactly the same). Yet another reason to not consider this
annulation as something important. Just sad, nothing more.
At least this will make some students who will inherit of the slots
happy :)
End of topic for me.
Regards,
Eric Bachard
