FOSDEM 2013 will be held in Brussels, Belgium, 2-3 Feb 2013 and it is a huge, free, developer-oriented, technical conference. OpenOffice has three opportunities to be featured there.
Quick status update below.
1) The Apache OpenOffice devroom. This is what conferences usually call a "track", i.e., a series of talks/presentations
Call for Talks out and advertised on the FOSDEM site at https://fosdem.org/2013/news/2012-11-01-cfp/ (as well as ooo-dev and ooo-announce). Wiki page for proposals ready at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/FOSDEM+2013+Proposals Deadline for submissions: 23 December.
2) The Apache OpenOffice booth/stand. See https://fosdem.org/2013/call_for_stands.html
Michael submitted the request and sent a copy here to ooo-dev. We have coverage for both days, and other people there will make sure that Mechilde and Michael don't have to spend the full days staffing the stand. The stand must still be confirmed by FOSDEM (in December).
3) An Apache OpenOffice speaker in the main track ... Timeline: proposals due by 1 Dec, but preparing a good proposal might need a few days.
This is still unaddressed. It's time to agree on a proposed talk here. Ideas? In case it turns out to be too narrow in scope for the main track, we will of course put it in our devroom track, so effort here is not wasted.
Regards, Andrea.
