Your proposal should be submitted before 1 June 2007 in order to guarantee

We are soliciting papers from the broad OpenOffice.org community on topics

politics of the free and open-source software (FOSS) movement to the

How to submit a Proposal
Note. As the OpenOffice.org community consists of members from countries
all over the world the talk must be in English.
Please limit your presentation to 50 minutes, including questions.
Submissions must be made via the link on the Conference website. The link
will be available on Monday 2nd April and your proposal (abstract) must be
submitted before 1st June in order to be considered for inclusion in the
Conference.
Types of Session
A presentation is a general discussion of some topic, including (but not
limited to) the software, the community, relationships with other software
or communities, and political or philosophical issues.
A case study is a specific type of presentation that tells what you did to
achieve some result; this is usually a success story, but could include a
discussion of what mistakes you made and how you overcame them.
A workshop is a "how-to" session, in which the presenter gives
step-by-step instructions for doing some task such as writing macros,
setting up a database, or developing a complex spreadsheet. Workshops
usually include some audience activities.
A BoF (Birds of a Feather meeting) is an informal gathering of people in a
particular group, or interested in a specific topic. Examples include the
members of a native-language group, the marketing project, documentation
writers, or Macintosh coders.
A panel discussion involves a group of people (usually 3 or 4) led by a
moderator. The participants make opening and closing statements on the
topic, may discuss the topic among themselves, and may answer questions
from the audience (usually submitted in advance).
A lightning talk is a brief presentation on any topic relevant to the
conference. It could be an interesting format to give many people the
chance to make their point in a series of exactly 5 minute slots.
Travel Subsidy
The template for paper submission includes a section for requesting a
travel subsidy. At this point we are not in a position to offer funding
for all speakers, and those speakers who do get a subsidy are unlikely to
have their full expenses covered. Each request will be considered on the
basis of both merit and need, so if you are requesting a subsidy, please
give as much information as possible to help us evaluate your request.
Please note that someone presenting only a lightning talk is unlikely to
receive assistance.
Presentation Materials
An OpenOffice.org Impress template recommended for use for the conference
presentations will be published around 1 June 2007. All speakers are
required to file a copy of their presentations with the Conference
organisers. These presentations will be filed on the Conference website.
Please note that your session may be streamed as a live broadcast and may
be recorded and made available for download from the Conference website.
... and keep a watch on http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/ for

We look forward to receiving your proposals.
