Hi
I'm at Oscon for most of the week Oscon is the open source convention of note
and where the term, "open source" was in fact coined. It draws those from all
sectors. Apache has a room tomorrow, where I can present a brief (or boringly
long) summary of work being done. I expect critiques as well as queries
regarding process and product.
I've kept in touch with what is going on. But my interest is in learning what
you have to say and would have me say. It's not an official representation that
I'll give; it's more a subjective zeitgeist presentation.
So here are some areas:
* status of the product: where are we?
* status of the product: where are we going, what is the next release and when?
* status of the product: how popular is it? We've just breached 7M downloads
since inception of AOO (i) but where do we stand regarding locations of
downloads, etc? What kinds of platforms? What languages?
* Status of project: how are the NLCs doing?
* Status of community: what can be done in the community to improve?
- communication efforts?
- regional outreach?
- other?
These are all fairly obvious and even whimsical questions and points; feel free
to add more. The presentation, too, will be brief—
Thanks
Louis
