Much to my disgust and disappointment, I cannot make this, after all. ARGH.

Alas, both are community events, Sophie, and both were initially proposed by community members. The Copenhagen event is hardly a Sun thing and is receiving no special attention by Sun. Actually, the primary reason for my strong interest in it has to do with the essentially fragmented nature of the Nordic communities, and my hope that by coordinating activity we can get more done there. (A similar situation exists in India, of course, and elsewhere.) But perhaps we can have a long distance discussion? Certainly, some of the issues we'll be discussing in Copenhagen are relevant. One of the goals--the primary goal, really--I have for that event, is to synthesize and focus Nordic OOo and ODF activity. I don't think the Nordic region is unique. It may be not unique, but I think that the localization process, the QA process, the marketing process, the documentation as Clayton ask about it is of concern and this is not all. Oh, I quite agree. We also have to discuss about the CC and the overall being of the community. The NLC is a strong part of the community and needs to share more than local focus point. This meeting is important because all of us would like to be in Beijing, not to be there but to meet each others, but several of us won't be able to attend. We are working hard for this community and we only have once a year to share our concerns, ambitions, visions for the community. This is for me the first objective to be respected, and no other event would have the prime time. Hope you understand my meanings. I do: given a choice, I should make this meeting in Italy. I'll certainly try.

Hi First, thanks, Davide and Andreas for the meeting and for arranging it... It's unfortunate that the date is in fact 3 October--it coincides, as Charles pointed out, with other events, and not just the BrOffice event, but also Open Source Days, in Copenhagen.

Re: [native-lang] Native-Lang Confederation meeting in preparation of OOoCon 2008
Andrea, on the behalf of the Beijing organizational team, I would like to thank you for this great initiative. I also want to take the opportunity here and ask everyone, who is planning to attend the OOoCon in Beijing to take part in the OOoCon pre-registration survey now. Please refer: http://surveytest.services.openoffice.org/surveys/index.php?sid=74227&lang=en Next week we will probably start the 'real' registration process. Please take five minutes time and register yourself as early as possible for two good reasons: Firstly, we will try to get in touch with everyone ASAP in order to offer help for the visa process. Some important information we provide at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoCon_2008_Visa_Procedures Secondly, we desperately need some figures about the number of attendees we can expect. We are in touch with some airlines to negotiate discounted prices on flight tickets for OOoCon attendees. The final result of our effort is strongly depending on the number of travelers we can confirm with the airline. Hence, it will likely save *your* money. Best regards from Beijing, Peter Andrea Pescetti wrote: (Please reply to dev@native-lang.openoffice.org if possible). The PLIO Association (Italian OpenOffice.org Native-Lang Project) is pleased to invite everyone involved in the Native-Lang Confederation to join the meeting that will be held in Bolzano/Bozen (Italy) on October 3rd, 2008. Goal of the meeting is to prepare the discussion topics that will be brought to Beijing: some European Native-Lang project members won't be able to take the great opportunity offered by OOoCon 2008 and this way they can delegate someone to bring their opinions to Beijing. Native-Lang issues will also be discussed in greater detail than it is usually possible during OOoCon. Attendance to the meeting will be free.
