Agreed, and I'm really sorry I couldn't make it. In future we might want to have a small team of people who knows how ODF Plugfests work and are willing to attend, give a speech and run tests. I believe we need all these three pieces to make our participation meaningful. > > For 3) while I do see some consensus on contributing the 100 GBP = ~135 > EUR = ~150 USD for printing the English leaflet, my worry is that we can't > get anything decided by the deadline (Tuesday 8 September afternoon > European time). > Considered the US long week-end 'issue' and the time frame, plus Dennis' concerns it seems clear we're late for this. Also if I understand correctly what that means is that they won't print our logo featured on the inside back cover, not that the leaflet won't be printed. Given the fact we're not attending or participating, this seems the less important thing to me. > > So, coming to item 2: I'm still hopeful we can provide up-to-date data > about OpenOffice.
