Hi Florian, all,

Sorry to be so rude, but: Cancelling the OOoCons is not a tough
decision, it is just the wrong decision, the very wrong decision - at
least in my opinion. We should do *more* real life conferences, not less.
You know how I like our meetings :) but the original posting from John
was to reduce our carbon footprint, not to cancel the OOoCon. And I feel
his request is something we should really think about (yes, I'm a
grandma and want a world for my grandchildren ;). Adding more meeting
even virtual won't reduce it.
I like Peter idea to spare some carbon footprint during the year to
preserve our face to face meeting and protect the environment.
One thing I think we should really work out is to make our OOoCon much
more available for people who cannot attend or even could choose to not
attend to save carbon footprint. Makes it a choice could be also an
alternative while providing a better attendance for those who are on the
other side of the planet and do not have the ability to attend the OOoCon.
Just some ideas.
Kind regards
Sophie
Florian (and others with an interest) - what would you think about a
conference in each region every year, a virtual con every year but 6
months
after the Regional Conf, and a OOoCon every second year?
No. I'm all for a OOoCon *every* year, definitely. We really should not
change that. I see it's a lot of work, but in the past, it worked out
very well. I have no problem with RegiCons and virtual conferences in
*addition* to a *yearly* OpenOffice.org Conference. But dropping the
conference every second year in favor of a virtual conference is really
no choice to me.
PS - Florian I apologise for calling you John before. I had just got off
the phone to a friend named John and typed it into this email without
thinking :)
No problem ;)
Florian
