You were at FOSDEM? Too bad I didn't see you there. Well, since we're at it
and you asked the question:
 There will be no OOoCON in Paris in 2011, at least none that I would be
organizing. And please remember that I no longer have any role in the OOo
project.

I do not believe that LibreOffice is one out of many others in the OOo
derivatives. But we may disagree here :-)  In any case, we're working
towards having a LibreOffice Conference in 2011 in Paris. Hope to see you
there!

Best,
Charles.
