BSDCan (was Re: OpenOffice.org meetup in Holland)
+1
I proposed a talk about AOO for the next BSDCan:
http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/
I actually have to prepare another, more technical, talk
for the same event so having a standard presentation
template to start with would be good.

Okay; thanks. I think that it would actually be useful to have your
presentation, esp. if it includes or references technical details,
available for others outside of LinuxTag.
The point is that many many large groups of people are wondering about
the future of AOO.

If the paper will be accepted (and I hope it will) I will give the
presentation in German. The last time I have presented at LinuxTag I
start in English and switched then to German because the audience
preferred German.

Juergen, would you accept constructive critique? Given that your
presentation effectively would be representing the work being done and
to be done, it would be good to have clear, forceful language…. and
last I heard, English as she is spoke is me native tongue. ;-)

I have proposed a paper for the LinuxTag in Berlin in May. It's under
review and not yet accepted.
Short abstract
"OpenOffice is the leading open source office productivity suite and
2011 was a challenging year for the OpenOffice project. The main sponsor
Oracle announced to stop their investment in the project and they
granted the source code and the trademarks to the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF). The presentation is intended to inform about the
current status, the future and to clarify many wrong and misleading
communication around the project."
Future plans will be based on discussions here on the list and the
proposed 4.0 features etc.
