So, the OOoCon 2010 is coming up on us really fast. I'll be attending
and giving a presentation on Wednesday afternoon.
This year I'm focusing on the very thing we've been discussing the past
couple of days... new project members (the need for mentoring, guiding
etc).
I actually wrote up the presentation (with help from Jean before she
left on her epic train journey) a couple of weeks ago, before we started
the discussion here on the mailing list. This issue is something we've
been aware of, and wanting to correct for a while. With the recent
increase in new members it's got to become a priority for us as a team.
Anyway, the presentation will be made available on the conference
website after the conference, along with the audio/video if they manage
to record us again this year :-)
The presentation last year was quite good in my opinion. The
presentation was more of a brainstorm session. Some of the ideas
discussed were implemented in the past year. Some are still on my ToDo
list :-) I hope that the brainstorm session can continue this year.
I'll try to be available on IRC during the conference -
#openoffice.org-docs channel on Freenode - so if you are not attending
the conference you can pop in and comment, chat, ask questions etc.
I'll post updates if anyone is there in the channel.
If you've never heard of IRC or don't know how to get there, this webage
http://eglug.org/book/export/html/564 has a nice easy to understand
description (it's Windows oriented, but the principles are the same
regardless of Windows, Linux, OSX, Solaris, etc). If you don't want to
install a dedicated application for IRC, and you use Firefox, you can
install the Chatzilla addon
