Hi Uwe, Uwe Altmann a écrit : > Hi > As you probably may have noticed, this years WWDC takes place from 9. until 13. of June in Moscone Center, San Francisco.

Concerning "the rest of us", Apple is donating two free tickets for OOo > Mac Porting community as Mr. Michel Sutter, Senior Partnership Manager, WW Developer Relations-Europe promised to us on CeBit last week. Thanks a lot to Michel Sutter and Apple, for all the help we received from them ! > So we have to answer two questions: > 1.) Who is willing, able and has the bless of the community to go there > 2. How can those guys pay all the bills. > Concerning 1.) I would like to propose at least Eric Bachard (but I'm not shure if he's willing ;-) ). Well ... Thanks a lot for your proposal, I really appreciate what happens. Indeed, I confirm I'm candidate. > Some more ideas of who shall represent the community there? To avoid misunderstanding, I'm only candidate, and waiting, let me nominate other developers from the Community who did a great work for the Aqua port 1) Florian Heckl, present since the begining, and who implemented a lot of things for Aqua port ( filepicker, spotlight and quicklook plugins ...and more ) 2) Mickael Sicotte, who implemented the QuickTime player, and the Spell checker .. etc 3) Pavel Janik too did a lot for Mac port, and desserves to be nominated too. Unfortunaly, I know some cannot attend (Florian and Pavel confirmed me already), but they really desserve to be listed ! > Discussion should be held but decision should be > made as soon as possible because air tickets normally are cheaper when booked earlier. Agreed. > Concernig 2.) I have verbally promise for an overall donation of 2.000,00 EUR (written request is on the way) from OpenOffice.org > Deutschland gem. e. V. in 2008. (This is not especially dedicated for WWDC but may also be used to do some refunding for developers > participating on the planned 3rd Mac porting meeting.) Good idea too ! > Also, OOo D. e.V. is willing to coordinate donations for Mac Porting on their account. Great :-) > Important thing is that the money is explicitly dedicated to "MacPorting" - not more (no "travel money" or "For WWDC" or something > else). So anybody has to write explicitly "For MacPorting" on the Money transfer form or we will not get it. > German donators even can get a "Spendenbescheinigung" so they must not > pay taxes on the amount donated. Message received. I'll write a call for donation on my blog, and give all informations. > Account information: > Recipient: OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. > Bank: Sparkasse Rhein-Haardt > For transfers from Germany: > BLZ: 546 512 40 > Kto-Nr: 96 09 71 > For international transfers: > IBAN: DE18 5465 1240 0000 9609 71 > SWIFT-BIC: MALADE51DKH > See http://www.ooodev.org/spenden.html > On this page there is also a PayPal-Button for donations - then > "Article" has to be "MacPorting".
