I remember one of the last activities before OOo was forked and most operations came to a halt, was building a collection of 'approved events'. we rate them as how strategically important for the marketing plan was, and how much support it would get from the previous marketing budget. FOSDEM was one of them, as well as OSWC and Latinoware to mention a few. We also thought about having dedicated speakers since they were repeatably asked to give talks in their regions and were considered as the "OpenOffice.org guy" in the FLOSS community. I am not sure how this activity goes for or against things done on Apache Way. But It was one of the ideas of the new Marketing Plan (which also was halted). I think there were some policies on the way the money would be spent such as, we could fund up to 50%, and only for traveling and hosting (no food or drinks). Other rules were still being put in place. > -- > Ian > > Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) > > www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 > > The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, > Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
