What is the level of interest to hold an OpenOffice Meetup at ApacheCon? It
will likely attract interest and participation from other Apache members not
yet familiar with the project. For those that are, it creates the
opportunity to meet F2F, and set to work on agreed topics.
The Meetups are open to all, with no registration fees incurred. Here's the
post on them: http://na11.apachecon.com/pages/meetups
More to the point, committers@ or PMCs@ should have gotten a note that
points to the Meetup Planning page here:
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ApacheMeetupsNa11
That's where committers and regular contributors to any Apache project
or podling are welcome to register their interest in potentially
scheduled meetups. The Conference Planning Committee (concom) uses the
wiki page to collect ideas and gauge relative interest levels, and then
later on (a couple of weeks before the conference?) will officially
schedule the meetups on specific days/rooms.
Note that the conference producer is also always happy to talk to
potential sponsors - if anyone has an employer who wants more visibility
in this space, sponsoring the refreshments at a meetup is a great way to
do it.

There's still time to put this together, and I am willing to volunteer to
program manage the effort if there is sufficient interest.
