[libreoffice-marketing] Open Help Conference & Sprints

Hi :)
There is an excellent event coming up fairly soon and it would be fantastic to have a few people 
there.  

It is primarily aimed at people in the Documentation Team but most of that team are in Europe or 
Australia and the rest seem to be mostly scattered across Asia.  So, it would be expensive and 
impractical for any of them to attend.  Is there anyone in North America area that might like to go 
and represent the Docs Team and "wave the LO flag" (is there a banner?)?  

If anyone would like to go is there any chance of joining the Docs Team for a while just to get an 
overview of how things are done in their team?

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi all,

I just wanted to follow up on this. I'm the conference organizer,
and a long-time contributor to GNOME documentation. Open Help has
two days of presentations and open discussion, followed by three
days of multiple-team sprints.

Last year we had some great presentations, but amazing discussions.
We all do things a little differently, and we can all learn a lot
from each other when we have a diverse group in one place.

I also think co-located are hugely beneficial. Every team does its
own thing, but occasionally we all get together to share thoughts
and take a break.

LibreOffice seems to have a really active documentation team, and
I'd love to have some of you at the conference, and better still,
at the sprints. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks,
Shaun
