Hi Marc, I posted this to the end of a different thread by mistake earlier - so good excuse to correct that: Well as it happens the SCALE organizers specifically invited LibreOffice to the event and will again supply a booth. An acceptance email has been sent - so it's time to start planning the show. The dates are Feb. 25-27, 2011. The call for papers is currently underway [1] A few folks have said they will be there and are willing to help in the booth, Joyce and I will fly out to attend. I had kind of hoped to push this email to the new mailing list as a silly jester to open it..*smile*..but as they say, the best made plans.
