I'm all for a contributor event if that's what we feel should be the
priority.  I'm still of the belief that if we increase the user base
then we increase the chances that developers "want in" and step up.  But
that's always a matter of chicken-egg debate.

I'm curious though, if we are seeking new developers and other
contributors what strategy do we have that will incentivize people with
such skills to want to contribute to LibreOffice?  And how big is the LO
contributor-base in North America?
