Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Starting something like LibreCon

Hi to all,

in my eyes the development of the projects OOo and LO hasn't much split yet
and so why aren't we using (if possible) the OOoCon for as a platform for
presentation and knowledge transfer. We are a fork but I don't think we are
enemies. We also have to think of the costumers the most part of the
presentations might be interesting for both LO and OOo Users.

Regards

Tobias Paukert
