and got no reply. I mailed at least three Boston residents directly and
got no reply either.
Part of the issue is the Boston Summit is always in Boston where as
GUADEC can always get fresh enthusiastic teams to help out. This is
because in order to become a host city for GUADEC you already have to

Have the board paused and thought why the Summit has to be Boston? Is it
because most hackers work around Boston? May be it was the case.
Because there's a critical mass of developers there -- most of both the Red

Hello,
One question to candidates:
Wil you promote the Foundation's participation on the reviewing
of ODF?
I'm sure it won't be for lack of a sponsor, but I think it is much more
