Howdy All, Just forwarding this message to what seemed like more appropriate lists.
It sounds like a great conference. Thanks for the heads up Jim, Sincerely, Drew Jensen -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jim Campbell <[email protected]> Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: Shaun McCance <[email protected]> Subject: [us-marketing] Open Help Conference - Looking for LibreOffice participation Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 14:20:09 -0500 Hello, This morning I attended a presentation by Italo Vignoli at the Flourish Open Source Conference in Chicago, and I spoke with him briefly after our session. He suggested that I contact this list for help. I'm part of a group that is organizing an Open Help Conference [0] to be held in Cincinnati from June (June 3-5, with the opportunity to extend participation in user sprints after the conference), and we were interested in having a speaker / participant (or more than one speaker / participant) from the LibreOffice project participate in the conference. The conference focus isn't limited to just writing documentation/user help, but it will focus on building user help communities, and engaging developers in documentation, as well. We have a well-balanced portfolio of speakers already (OpenStack, Mozilla, BSD, and others), but think that having someone from LibreOffice could be mutually beneficial--having someone from your group participate could not only help others understand the approaches used by your teams in preparing documentation for an office suite, but could also allow your team to discuss best practices with other professional technical writers who are focused on open-source projects. Please have a look at the website and let me or Shaun McCance (the primary organizer, copied on this message) know if there is someone you could recommend for possible participation in this conference. I am subscribed to the list, and will also be following this thread, so feel free to also let me know if you have any questions.
