Hi Drew, I apologize for the delay in replying to your message, but hope you had a great holiday season. It's been extremely busy here on this end during the holidays.
> > @Gabriel looking at the events calendar today I was wondering if there > is anything in particular you would like for the conference? > Right now everything is looking good for FOSSVT. They do have some vendor displays / booths at the conference, and I will investigate whether that would be a possibility for me to coordinate and setup for LibreOffice / TDF. In the past, I donated copies of my book, as well as OOoAuthor-published books, for door prizes at the conference. And my intention is to do something similar this year. > > Anyway - looks like it will be an interesting event and from the website > there I wandered to some New England LUG websites.

But since the subject has come up, I will say that I am in the process of doing quite a bit of revision and developing new materials as it relates to my learning guides and resources, including a textbook, online course packages, supplemental learning materials and some new materials unlike anything I have released before. And, yes, I intend to release them for use with LibreOffice. :-) I will provide more details on this list, as well as the Documentation list, as soon as previews of the works are ready. > If so I would really like to acquire a copy of anything you have coming > specifically for this display usage at events.

As soon as I can get past the next week or so, I hope to reply in further detail regarding a number of topics as it relates to LibreOffice in academia.
