Hello,
I'm forwarding a request from Zaheda. As I'm on the road this week to
present OpenOffice.org at the Systems trade show in Munich, please reply
directly to her in Cc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thanks!
Quoting Zaheda:

Recently I've been working to put together a project that, as far as I
know, is the first of its kind in the open source world. I talked it
over with a few people including the marketing leads, John and Florian.
Along with some friendly volunteers, and some initial input, I decided
to start a map of the OpenOffice.org story and community, using personal
accounts from contributors and users.
I'm calling this project the OOo Community Mapping Project, and to make
this a success, your participation is absolutely crucial.
We're looking for OOo stories, a message to the OOo community, your
accounts of the great milestones in the project, or your profile, or a
profile of someone you feel did great work but is too shy to relay this
information.
Over the next few weeks or so we want to gather all this data and map
these stories geographically using some Google Earth/Maps. In the
process, showing the global effort that goes into creating
OpenOffice.org. Ideally I would like to show some of the content in my
presentation at this year's OOoCon (in two weeks). Also the maps,
preserving this history, will be made available on the OOo site.
I felt the best way to help get the word out was to ask the world's best
open source marketing team, so where better to start than this project ?
I hope you can help me get this message out to as many of the global
OpenOffice.org community as possible, both past and present, through the
OOo mailing lists and your blogs. This way we can capture as much of
the community as possible.
To add your information, and find out more about the project, please go
to the OOo Community Mapping site created specifically to gather data
for this project.
To add your profile, story, or an OOo milestone complete one of the
short forms on the site. If you have a short video of any local
activities or photos please add in as a picture can speak volumes. You
can, fill out as many entries as you'd like, especially of the OOo
Milestones that you recall. We may have one or two shy developers but I
hope to see an entry for everyone on this marketing list and other lists
including the native language lists.
I'm looking forward to reading about all the great contributions, and
compiling as many of them as we can collect, to show at OOoCON in
Beijing on November 5. It should be a fun compilation to watch. So
please get your entries in as soon as you can. There are some sample
entries on the site as a guide, and we're open to creative input.
There is also a FAQ posted on the OOo Community mapping site. If there
are any questions we haven't answered, please feel free to email me
directly, or through [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am very excited about this
project and hope we can capture this talented, passionate and dedicated
OOo community on a world map.
