Hi Matthias

It's great to hear that you will organise a team for booth. I will add AOO to the booth list so please add at least one timeslot as I'd really like to ensure that AOO get some time on the booth.

You are right and It's true that in the past we had a combined booth at FOSDEM, and in those days we actually had a larger space (with two tables I think!) so there was enough space to have a table for AOO including a demo PC. and also for the ASF in general, where other ASF projects could also come along and spend time.

Over the last few of years the booth space has reduced and now they only allocate one table which is why we need to be fair to all ASF projects who would like to get some time on the booth. (BTW during the transition from two tables to one, each time we applied for a FOSDEM booth for the ASF, we put in a request for an additional table but were never successful).

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,

Thanks! We will try to organize a team for AOO. Count me in, but I hope
for others joining.

One (not very important) notice:
I don't know about 2016, but my first FOSDEM was in 2017. And in 2017
you had a combined booth with OpenOffice.

Regards,

    Matthias

Hi All

I wanted to let you know that a wiki page for FOSDEM has been setup, so if 
you'd like to book some time on the ASF booth to promote OpenOffice the link is 
below.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2020

We are planning for slots of 3-4 hours depending on how many other projects 
sign up, so please feel free to add the dates and times that you'd like. We 
will finalise the booth schedule nearer the time once we have all the project 
requests in.

Thanks
Sharan

Hello,

following the published list

        https://fosdem.org/2020/news/2019-11-19-accepted-stands/

our stand request was not accepted.
The Apache Software Foundation does have a stand and OpenOffice is part of the 
Foundation. Participation of OpenOffice with that stand can be discussed on 
dev@community.a.o.

There will certainly be OpenOffice stickers.

Also there is an Open Document Editors developer room on Saturday.

The Call For Papers is 
https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2019q4/002921.html and the deadline 
is Nov 30, 2019

But some of us (for example Mechtilde, Matthias, me) will be at FOSDEM
2020, so people can meet us.

On one side I am a little bit disappointed and sad, because a booth at
FOSDEM is a great matter for our project. On the other side I will enjoy
the freedom of irresponsibility (also a little bit) another year.

I am willing to repeat the request next year.
Was the request for OpenOffice or Apache OpenOffice?

Regards,
Dave

Kind regards
Michael
