Ryan, keep in mind that it is by no means clear that OOo as a project
is interested in going to DLS. So, your inquiries are necessarily of
the exploratory sort.
Thanks

What do we do to detrmine if OOo as a project is interested in
going to DLS?
A good question, one that could be answered probably better after
OOoCon, which needs to be our focus right now.
But some minima:
Logistics
* Have we been invited?
* Are there funds to pay for a booth, presuming we must pay for that?
* For equipment?
Need
* Is this a good conference for a mere booth (itself a taxing thing)
or for presentations? That is, to make it more like a RegiCon.
And probably other points. Last year, the CC weighed in on the
issue. This year, and years to come, I'd like to see for us to have
a program of sorts, where we target certain conferences and go there
in strength ;-)
But, again, for now, what would be really good is to make an effort
to make OOoCon good, even if you are not attending. What could be
done, for instance--and this needs to be checked with Jacqueline,
Sophie, John, Erwin, et al.--is the creation of collateral that could
be generally used, the creation of scripts that show OOo going
through its paces, and the as much play on OOo's potential as possible.
To give an example of OOo going through its paces, here is what was
done for the first OOoCon, in 2003:
