We are soliciting papers from the broad OpenOffice.org community on topics ranging from developing OpenOffice.org to marketing it; from the global politics of the free and open-source software (FOSS) movement to the technical challenges of localization.

XML & OASIS OpenDocument Format * OASIS OpenDocument XML format * Introduction to XML * Examples of XML technology * XML: bridge between OpenOffice.org and other tools Please submit a proposal by filling out the template and sending it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] template for proposals Note. As the OpenOffice.org community consists of members from countries all over the world the talk must be in English. *Please limit your presentation to 50 minutes, including questions.* Your proposal (abstract) must be sent before 1 June 2006 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Conference. A *presentation* is a general discussion of some topic, including (but not limited to) the software, the community, relationships with other software or communities, and political or philosophical issues. A *case study* is a specific type of presentation that tells what you did to achieve some result; this is usually a success story, but could include a discussion of what mistakes you made and how you overcame them. A *workshop* is a "how-to" session, in which the presenter gives step-by-step instructions for doing some task such as writing macros, setting up a database, or developing a complex spreadsheet. Workshops usually include some audience activities. A *BoF* ("Birds of a Feather" meeting) is an informal gathering of people in a particular group, or interested in a specific topic. Examples include the members of a native-language group, the marketing project, documentation writers, or Macintosh coders. A *panel discussion* involves a group of people (usually 3 or 4) led by a moderator. The participants make opening and closing statements on the topic, may discuss the topic among themselves, and may answer questions from the audience (usually submitted in advance). A *lightning talk* is a brief presentation on any topic relevant to the conference. It could be an interesting format to give many people the chance to make their point in a series of exactly 5 minute slots. The template for paper submission includes a section for requesting a travel subsidy. At this point we are not in a position to offer funding for all speakers, and those speakers who do get a subsidy are unlikely to have their full expenses covered. Each request will be considered on the basis of both merit and need, so if you are requesting a subsidy, please give as much information as possible to help us evaluate your request. Please note that someone presenting only a lightning talk is unlikely to receive assistance. An OpenOffice.org Impress template recommended for use for the conference presentations will be published around 1 June 2006. ... and keep a watch on http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/ for more information ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
