Re: Where to hold an event

2012-02-21 Thread Ross Gardler
Just as a point of information there is no confirmed ApacheCon at the
time of writing. Final details are being put into place right now and
we hope to confirm something soon. It's not currently clear if
co-location will be possible, but it has not been ruled out either.
We're working with the possible venue to figure it out.

I hope to be clearer in a week or so.

 Just IMHO,

 At this point it is important to focus only on the Apache OpenOffice
 community, that is, having the people that do stuff here meet and
 coordinate.

 I would really prefer it is closely connected to an ApacheCon so that we
 bring people from other Apache projects.

 None of this excludes people from LibreOffice from participating
 but they are not the center of focus here.


 That's exactly what I had in mind  :-)


 Thanks !

I don't think so..

Europe would be fine for the old, now defunct, project and for a

My first thought, China. this is where the new developers are coming

I used this web service[1], plus our people page[2] to find the
location that would have the least total travel distance for
participants:

[1] http://www.geomidpoint.com/calculation.html
[2] http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html

The Faroe Islands, off the coast of Scotland, was what it came up with,

Not many direct flights, however.

But really, anywhere in Western Europe is in the ball park.

We don't care if someone is on a PMC or not, if they are a commiter that is
enough. The underlying system is the same as theed people system (linked
from the above page), which does capture project information.

Yeah, but it isn't linked to the svn authz.  And there's no way to limit
the map to Committers on the %s TLP or Committers on the %s podling.

What trust has to do with it?  The source data is in private svn, and my

they are granted karma

No, it doesn't automatically update. Thus is opt-in, it would be
inappropriate to do that automatically for everyone.
