Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Open Help Conference & Sprints

The event is in Ohio, so it is a full day driving from the east coast of 
the USA, for people like Drew.

It would be nice to have some US LO person be able to attend the 
meeting, but as you said, there are few people in the USA that are able 
to go to meetings across the USA.  It would be nice to change that, but 
it might not happen before August, when the meeting is.

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?)?
