Actually, this was also on my list of things to do. I was also wondering 
about Ingot in N.America. We do have representation (I can't seem to 
find my notes on this at the moment). Should we see the Ingot group as 
almost a partnership with LibreOffice. They are providing some form of 
accreditation for us. I also find that they are as visible as the 
LibreOffice at the moment.

Ingot may have access to some funds for conferencing and perhaps it may 
mean our asking if we could (at this very beginning) pair up with them 
at conferences and help in giving them some exposure in the N.American 
market. Or it could be that they could apply for some American or 
Canadian funds for this purpose.

I, for one, would have no problem sharing a table/booth with Ingot.

Have we gotten an official SC note on its recognition of Ingot and its 
courses?
