Hi 
There have been a number of interesting articles about LibreOffice recently. I keep meaning to pass a list of the links on to the Users List and perhaps relevant ones in a list to other mailing lists too.
Sophie's blog is interesting because she was one of the original founders.
Marc also updates the events calendar.
1. If you find there is an event locally then please do drop in and meet people from TDF and other LibreOffice users. Make yourself known. Perhaps grab some swag, perhaps help out for half an hour or so.
2. If your work sends you to an event that might have a TDF and LO presence then you can check the calendar and you'd be welcomed at the TDF, LO stall.
3. If you hear of an event that you think should be on the calendar
then state your case to the marketing list and let them know how much
help you could give. There is talk of having a "go bag" of marketing
materials (perhaps including a roller-banner) that could be mailed to a
local-users group for such events.
4. If you fancy making a special effort to travel to one of the events then it would be smart to join the marketing list for a bit and perhaps see if others are going from your area or what arrangements other people have made (especially if you need to stay overnight. For one event an excellent cafe allowed people to use their premises overnight so doubtless nearly everyone woke up to wonderful smells and fantastic coffee. At other events it might have been possible to get a group discount at a hotel, perhaps making all the rooms on one floor into conference quarters).
