I clicked on the "list of events" link on http://www.documentfoundation.org/. There are several events listed for North America. Would TDF consider being at LinuxFest Northwest in Bellingham, 4/30 & 5/1? There will be an official call for papers in early January, but people can register at www.linuxfestnorthwest.org. LFNW is a true open source expo, free admission, completely run by volunteers...one of the longest running Fests in the US. If there are LibOers in the Pacific NW, please contact me off-list if you'd like to help put together a LibreOffice track. We are looking for presentations for people who are new to FOSS.
