I plan to attend the Southern California Linux Expo, so I can man a LibO booth there. I'm willing to sign us up, do legwork, etc. but I have no access to materials or funding. I'll contact them and see if they charge for a booth.Several of us had a booth at SCALE several years ago, on behalf of the OpenDocument Fellowship. There was no charge for the booth for groups like ours. Ryan Singer was there, along with J David Eisenberg and several other people. I don't know if David is on any of the LibO lists, but Ryan or I can ping him if you don't know him. SCALE is in early February, I believe. So if we get some materials (e.g. handouts, posters) together for Linux.conf.au in late January, they may be good for your use too. As for costs of e.g. printing handouts and posters, there are always ways... For display at the booth, I can get to you copies of any LibO user guides that are finished by the end of the year, paid for by the publisher. --JeanHi Jean: Could you add this to the events calendar? Even if there is no representative, it will show that the N.Americans are planning to attend. We should fill the calendar with all pertinent dates so that we could plan. I know, Canada, but partners in marketing with the US. Marc Canada
Hi Marc, I posted this to the end of a different thread by mistake earlier - so good excuse to correct that: Well as it happens the SCALE organizers specifically invited LibreOffice to the event and will again supply a booth. An acceptance email has been sent - so it's time to start planning the show. The dates are Feb. 25-27, 2011. The call for papers is currently underway [1] A few folks have said they will be there and are willing to help in the booth, Joyce and I will fly out to attend. I had kind of hoped to push this email to the new mailing list as a silly jester to open it..*smile*..but as they say, the best made plans.
