Hi I want to ask the budget commitee for 500 dls for expenses to SCALEx9. I want to put the petition even if SCALE still have not finished the CFP. I submitted a couple of talks and I am still waiting for the final approval. However budget processes have been a bit slow lately so I want to put an early petition here.
Last year I participated with a lightning talk on OOo4Kids which you can watch here: http://jza.blip.tv/file/3261755/ After the talk I got to talk with the core organizers which were interested into expanding the participation for communities such as OOo in the US. And geared me to participate next year with a wider talk about OOo/ODF etc. This year I am giving a talk on ODF with an OpenGovernment angle, targeting the success stories gather from South America and Europe. $500 would allow me to partially pay for my travel expenses. I would still need to chip from my own money to pay for hotel. regards. -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org EspaƱol http://es.openoffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
