I'm going a-conferencing (four conferences interspersed with visits to
friends and family) from this Thursday, 12 July; back in Australia on
15 August. I'll be travelling with laptop etc, and mostly staying in
places with (good, I hope) internet access, so I'll be keeping up as
best I can with what you lot are doing.
I'm starting with the Community Leadership Summit, where I hope to
learn lots of good ideas about building and maintaining a great team.
I'll feed back as much of this info to you as I can, but I'll probably
get overly enthusiastic about it all.
Then OSCON, the great geek festival, where I'll be mostly following
the "Community" stream and wandering around in my nice new LibreOffice
t-shirts handing out pamphlets. Oh, and attending the parties, and
helping out at the OSI (Open Source Initiative) stand.
After a break with friends in Seattle, I'm off to the NewSpace
Conference in Santa Clara, CA; then more time with friends; then on to
the final conference, OpenHelp, in Cincinnati, Ohio. There I'm giving
a talk titled "Successes and challenges in LibreOffice user
documentation". If I manage to find time to do some slides, I'll share
them with you. Just before the OpenHelp Conference is a 2-day "sprint"
to develop an Open Source style guide. I mentioned this to you
earlier.
Cheers,
Jean
