[marketing-events] Books for prizes at OOoMiniConf Downunder
I have extra copies of several OOo books that I am happy to donate as giveaways at the OOoMiniConf Downunder. These include: "OOo Writer" (my book from O'Reilly) "Tiny Guide to OOo" by Ben Horst "OOo Switch" by Tamar Granor "OOo Macros Explained" by Andrew Pitonyak If an organiser would let me know you want these, that would be good. Jacqueline? Cheers, Jean
Re: [marketing-events] LCA 2005 OpenOffice.org Miniconf - BOF OOo macros
Ian Laurenson wrote, If people are interested, I would like to facilitate a BOF for OpenOffice.org macros. I envisage it to be: * a problem solving workshop * a getting started guide * a discussion about collaborative macro development It is possible to run an informal BOF on Mon or Tue before 7pm at the venue (not much time) or Wed 8:30pm-10:30pm. I need to book the Wed time slot reasonably promptly. Should I bother with organising such a BOF? If so, what time would people prefer? It sounds like a great idea, Ian, and I'm definitely interested. I don't have a strong preference on times. I'm staying in Canberra for the whole week, so any night would suit me. Have you seen "Getting Started with Macros" which is the first chapter in Andrew Pitonyak's "OOo Macros Explained" book? It's here (both .sxw and .pdf available): http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/gettingstarted/draft_pub/MacrosIntro.sxw/file_view http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/gettingstarted/draft_pub/MacrosIntro.pdf/file_view And remember, I'll have copies of Andrew's book for sale at the conference. I think Jacqueline mentioned earlier a list for attendees of the conference, which would have a wider readership than this list, and give you a better idea of how many people might be interested. I'm sure that most attendees, even those already in the OOo community, would not be on this list. You might also mention it at [discuss] if you haven't already -- for the same reason, wider audience. Cheers, Jean

[marketing-events] LCA 2005 OpenOffice.org Miniconf presentation questions
I am looking for the standard presentation template as referred to by this page: http://www.openoffice.org.nz/miniconf/ "A standard presentation template will be made available on our website which we recommend that you use for your presentation." I am probably going blind but I can't find it. I found this one: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2004/ooocon2004template.sxi Can you direct this incompetent in the right direction? Any update on the approximate numbers of attendees? Should presenters have handouts available of their papers / presentations / notes? Thanks, Ian
