Re: [libreoffice-marketing] call for location 2012

How about Malta?

The nation is not so strict on VISA applications, and we now have biometric 
passports, which is great for the US and Aussies, Malta is also a Schengen 
country meaning most nations may not even need to show a passport to enter, 
our goverment is working on bringing International IT communities and 
companies to Malta (namely for smartcity and its SMARTplan), hence i think, 
that if you do choose Malta, we need to write a document to declare where 
the event will be and roughly how many member may be coming, that way the 
Maltese government could update its embassies for a faster issue of visa.

not only that there are alot of low cost airlines to the Maltese islands, 
besides that if you manage to organize for may,june you may be in the week 
of the ISLE of MTV, now i know we're all serious about the project, but we 
could mix in some fun?

in case its for the same time next year there is always the Maltese night 
life in Saint Julian's, how ever i do suggest a more summer month for the 
fact that Malta would have lots of nationalities here for learning English, 
cultural studies and much more.

Besides that we have a very rich history, and this event may also be 
sponsored by the government, should the TDF like to make an agreement with 
the government on Office software.

here's a list of local OSS groups:

ossmalta.com - which is mine
Linux.org.mt - which i am a member of since its the Malta Linux User group - 
though i use more windows for adobe products
oss.org.mt - Goverment of malta open source end user group (i know a mouth 
full of a name)
