Yes. This is what we should learn—some suggested guidelines: * ODF Plugfests are something we care about and deem important. * If community members are able and willing to present at and thus represent AOO at ODf Plugfests, then they should list themselves on a wiki devoted to this and also make sure that they post to the dev@aoo mail list their interest and ability in representing AOO at the plugfest. * If they need money to attend, let us all know on the dev@aoo list. * If they cannot make it and if it seems as if no one can make it, yikes—maybe. * collateral material (eg, leaflets), etc. can be produced using our funds but we all need to know of this need and it must sit within our broader mandate as part of ASF as well as any local need. These guidelines represent an effort to make visible what is probably already codified and also practiced. There are events, ongoing processes (like the ODF plugfests) that affect us (as a larger community) and in which I think we have an interest. The ODF plugfest is, however, just one instance; there are others, I have no doubt. The guidelines are intended to make it easier for us to track such interests. Of course, we’ve done this all before, and there’s no harm in importing what has worked before. louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
