Re: [us-marketing] Open Help Conference - Looking for LibreOffice participation

Hi Jim,

Thanks for letting us know about this upcoming event.

Just to let the folks on the ML know, I've forwarded this to the
LibreOffice documentation ML and the ODFAuthors ML.

Will also add the information to the Events page on the wiki.

Best wishes,

Drew
