Re: [FOSDEM-Devrooms] FOSDEM 2014 devroom proposal: Apache OpenOffice
Hi, I understand, and in the general think sharing a room like that would be for the better. I only think that in the particular here the old warning that 'familiarity breeds contempt' is apropos. Anyway, I have no expectation that I could convince both organizations to respectfully decline the offer and abstain from attending though I firmly believe that would be best, so I'll make no more mention of it. Of course I will offer to help produce materials as needed and hope for the best. //drew On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 5:34 PM, Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.org wrote: Drew Jensen wrote: Well, so as not to lie by omission - I for one am sad to hear about their (FOSDEM) choice on this and hope to see the two groups and projects continue to evolve along different lines.

The FOSDEM organizers decided to merge the two sessions rooms into one, but booths will be separate (and will run for two days, while the sessions will only be one day). Michael and Mechtilde already asked for a dedicated booth, and FOSDEM organizers will let us know in the coming weeks whether the request is accepted.

This will pose some organizational challenges, but it is in the full spirit of FOSDEM and I believe it opens nice opportunities. So we can start thinking at how we can best use this time.

We received a broadly similar proposal to yours from the LibreOffice crowd and decided to merge both of you into an open document editors developer room, where you can collaborate and share ideas. We will subscribe you to the devroom-managers mailing list where we'll post more information in the next couple of days about sending calls for participation and managing proposals with Pentabarf.
