Re: [marketing] Virtual OOoCon 2011?

Hi, But! A virtual only OOoCon will certainly gets a -1 from me. I absolutely agree. Nothing prevents us from having RegiCons or VirtualCons in addition, but *the* event of the OOo year should not be virtual only. :-) We can also check to get better integration of virtual participants, but

Hi! Here is the version with added text and rearranged positions. I avoided graphics overkill with the text and made it like the OOo logo. The center graphics is enough "eyecandy". http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/File:FOSDEM-Cubicles-3b.png Jens -

[marketing] OOo Presentation Kit

To help discussion, I've put together some simple sketches of how the Presentation Kit could work. Reminder: we have a professionally printed generic OOo folder like http://www.folderprinting.co.uk/a4-single-pocket-flat-interlocking-folder.html We then fill this with appropriate inserts. For exam

RE: [marketing] Virtual OOoCon 2011?

Yes I agree that virtual conferences etc separate to the OOoCon would be appropriate. It is important for OOo people to gather each year to meet in person. However it could be possible to maybe have a virtual conference one year and an "in person" conference the other year. IE there would be a v

Re: [marketing] Virtual OOoCon 2011?

Hi, I dont see why we shouldnt have both, most of the issues of the "real conferences" is that we can't get a whole representation of the community to come down to ground agreements. These was experience during the latest and the one after that and a virtual meeting should enable us to participa

RE: [marketing] Virtual OOoCon 2011?

I suppose it comes down to how much money the OOoCon coordinators are willing to put into it. Having a virtual conference would save tons of money plus make it far more accessible to those too busy to actually attend the conference or can't afford it. Maybe it could be split so part of OOoCon is

John, I agree the OOoCon is very good, but you seemed to ignore the second part of my email ... how about having *two* conferences a year - maybe OOoCon "face to face" in April and a virtual one in October or something like that. But I suppose having two a year runs the risk it all getting "too mu

Hi Cor, I want to have at least two a year. I really love meeting all people. me too! :-) But Johns question is, if we think it is wise looking at our earth and how we use it, to just do as we like it personally. So I would seriously consider the possibility to have one real life every secon

RE: [marketing] Virtual OOoCon 2011?

Yes RegiCons are something that could be considered - I live in New Zealand - do you honestly expect people like me to travel all the way to Europe for a conference - maybe a conference for each main land mass/continent could happen every second year. I agree we should have OOoCons but you have to
