The Novell team thought that, what with the next OOoCon being in
Beijing and the cost of travel there (etc.) and of course the broad
focus of that conference; that it would be good to have a very
hacker-focused event in Europe. So, we're inviting all hyper-technical
people (with or without long hair) to join the Novell go-oo team for
part of their annual team face-to-face in Prague.
To re-iterate, this is not an attempt to undermine OOoCon
Great to read this. I didn't expect anything else of course...
- if you can only afford to go to one conference (money, time,
spousal -patience / whatever); go to OOoCon.
.. but here I would have expected: "choose the great multi-international
event in Beijing, whenever possible. And if money is a problem, look at
the special offers. If you have more time and interests, don't miss Prague."
Having said that, it should be a fun time to sit and chew over the
latest developments, problems, and opportunities - while getting to know
other people.

I am sorry but given the way you describe this event, it seems that:
[...]
In short, you advertise for a Novell event.
Notice that I think a Novell event could be an interesting idea, but, as
I wrote above, the way it is being pictured looks problematic to me.
I'm not aware (my fault) of guide lines for RegiCons. But I expect it to
be rather low level to set up. So why not try to do some extra's and
make a RegiCon of the Go-OOo event?
IMO it's great if the Novell OOo team organizes an event and others feel
free to join and enjoy. I wouldn't understand why there should be X- of
Y-only events :-)
Best,
Cor
