As stated before, you can count me in for the CFP Jury. I've been a
member of the jury for the OOo Conferences 2007 - 2010. In 2010, I have
been the head of the jury. I would do this again, if no one else
volunteers. But, it's unlikely that I will attend the AOOC 2012 in
person. To my experience it's preferable if the head of jury attends in
person because there are always last minute challenges (sometimes during
the coffee break) to tackle.

Forgive the top posting... I am just alerting everyone that I have updated
the planning wiki [1] today with the latest proposal content, conference
information and work items. We need volunteers, your attention and action.
Please take the time to read up, and respond back on this thread with
questions and discussion.
If you decide to volunteer, please identify yourself and the aspect of the
project you are most interested to help with.
Thanks!

We have the opportunity to frame up and build a 'conference within a
conference' within the ApacheCON EU 2012 venue, November 5 - 9th in
Sinsheim, Germany. I've pulled an outline together on the wiki [1].
This is a 'call-to-action'. If you want to see this idea become a reality,
now is the time to volunteer.
Timing is urgent here. In the northern hemisphere, many of us will go off
on vacations in July and August. We need to earn our space from ConComm and
the other ApacheCon volunteers if this idea has any hope of success. Note
that if you volunteer for this effort, you will also need to help out with
the broader conference as well. Share and share alike!
I have asked that we sharpen our proposal and submit it to ConComm by
Friday, June 22nd... in two weeks time. Yes, that's compressed, but I
believe we have sufficiently experienced PPMC members who know what it
takes to make something like this happen. I've started a proposed committee
list on the wiki, but that's all it is a 'start'.
This is a great opportunity to re-boot our OpenOffice community in its
country of origin. I'm personally very excited about this, and hope you are
too. Please engage and make this happen.
