Hi all,
The second meeting on Regional Groups will be held later today, 13:00
UTC Friday, 15 May. As before, the meeting will be at
irc.freenode.net, #oooregional

Issues, notes from last meeting:
The key points:
* have frequent small, local meetings over beer, local food: to meet
and greet and get to know people
* have larger, more important meetings, eg, Regional OOoCons, less
often, and arrange them so that travel is not a fatal encumbrance
* set up an NGO when it makes sense but attend to the problems all
face of having to manage the funds and do the actual work. Hint: it's
not trivial.
We have (not I; others far better) set up a wiki for regional groups
that I hope becomes a repository of wisdom, as well as, eventually, a
means to track events, groups, people. Our goal is, after all, to make
it easy to have fun with the OOo community :-)
The wiki is at:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Regional_Groups
At some point, it may make sense to set up a dedicated mail list and
project, but for now, let's see if this one works. I am loathe to
create new lists that seem useful but end up in fact fragmenting
community. Better to have some noise than the clean sounds of silence.
Best
Louis
PS thanks to Raphael for reminding me.
