Hi all,
SCALE 12x went very, very well. I met a number of enthusiastic
supporters, handed out many pamphlets and stickers, and talked so much
that I became a bit hoarse by Sunday.

I've started to follow-up on a number of the contacts I made during
the event, and I've pointed a number of people who were interested in
becoming contributors towards the appropriate teams of LibreOffice.

I also chatted with students from Cal Poly and a couple of other
universities, and enquired about possible interest in hosting a
hackfest or having some other type of LibreOffice/FOSS-related event
on their campus. I got a chance to speak briefly with the OpenHatch
folks, and think that their experience w/"Open Source Comes to Campus"
could serve us well as we look to higher ed for new hackers and other
contributors to TDF/LibreOffice:

I spent a bit of time thinking about our NA Conference Box, and thanks
to financial support from David Eisenberg, added a few items to the
current set of supplies, including
- duct tape
- sharpie
- power strip/surge suppressor
- scissors

One person who stopped by was a reporter with LWN who is an organizer
of the Texas Linux Fest and who was interested in us having a booth at
the event this year. Texas Linux Fest will be June 13-14 in Austin:

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. It was a great
conference, and LibreOffice got a lot of praise from exhibitors,
speakers, and other users. I wish some of you could have been there to
hear the praise first-hand!

Cheers,

P.S. Many people loved the t-shirts, but wished that we had larger
sizes (What I brought from FOSDEM was mostly ladies' sizes). I assured
everyone that we'd do our best to bring larger sizes next year :-)
