Bonjour,
Voici le dossier proposant la France et Lyon comme localisation pour la prochaine OOoCon2005. Je ne suis pas sûre pour le visa, sinon c'est à peu près complet.
A bientôt Sophie

> * In 200 words or less, answer this question:
> Why is your location and the date you propose the best for the
> OOoCon 2005?
Locating OOo Con 2005 in France present several advantages for the
community. First, France has a very large community of users and
contributors, this is the oldest member of Native-Lang Confederation.
About users, and speaking more specifically about migration, our
government has announced several large adoptions of OOo very early, and
if we already know about Ministry of Finance and Interior ; Police
Force, Ministry of Equipment and some others are now joining. Lot of
hospitals, schools and universities, town hall are using OOo on a day to
day basis. Same for some large Groups where not less than 80 000 desktop
are being migrated in some cases.
Our community has a lot of contributors, even coders and lot of
companies are working with OOo making training and developments and some
of them are contributing back in different ways (support on the list, QA
testing, sharing documentation, helping with booth).
As for Lyon, it's a very nice town, subscribed to the Humanity Patrimony
by UNESCO, very modern and well equipped though, it has all the required
infrastructures for that kind of events (several universities,
conference centers, special pass for transportation...). This is not very far from Germany where lot of developers are located, but also quite central in Europe for lot of countries.
