[DISCUSS] OpenOffice Track: ApacheCon Europe
By now everyone must be aware that the CFP system will be closing tomorrow,
August 13th. We'll have an idea of what was submitted this week. In the
meantime, let's have a discussion about how we want to shape our track
beyond those proposals.
Here's an outline to get the discussion moving...
REMEMBER, this is our conference track to shape was we wish. We have a fair
amount of flexibility within the overall framework of ApacheCon. At this
point, let's conceive of this as a 2-day affair nested within the 4 days of
ApacheCon.
Keynote(s)
a) PMC Chair (let's plan on graduation as a fact by early November, so we
would ask our Chair to anchor the track keynote
b) I/T Leader responsible for OpenOffice user communities
c)
Meetups with other projects:
a) Shindig/Rave
b) Chemistry
c) POI,Tika, PDFbox
d) ...
Hackathons
-- topics?
Social
a) Fora
b) National community groups: ...
Other Topics?

Yes, that's what I had in mind with 'b', so we're thinking along the same
lines, so to speak.

As mentioned, I'd also be available to reviewing
I missed the deadline for submitting my own presentation. As I'm less involved in AOO than before, okay; but I'd still be open to reviewing others' submissions.

As I already wrote, please count me in as a reviewer if needed (for
proposals submitted by others, of course).

If "b" is not the Release Manager (the task Juergen is currently doing)
then a keynote by the Release Manager is helpful too.
And for "c", in previous editions of the OOoCon it was common that
someone who had adopted OpenOffice on a large scale would give a keynote
presentation.

The main OpenOffice website http://www.openoffice.org/ needs a lot of
reorganization and cleanup... This could be an occasion to work on it.

Andrea.

If it is a two-day conference we could have a keynote each day. The
PMC Chair could be a full keynote, or even just some short welcoming
remarks to open the conference.

Also known as ICT. Do we have someone in mind?

Maybe ODF Toolkit (incubating) as well.
Could be worth having a 1 hour (or 45 minute or whatever the normal
session time is) to talk with each of these projects. Or could be
informal.

Maybe set aside 60-90 minutes for a series of 5-minute "lighting
talks". which could include short demos, etc., These can be fun.
Maybe discussion sessions for build, install, qa, localization, web,
security, marketing, UI, etc. In some cases we might have formal
presentations in these areas. But where we don't, and even where we
do, it might be worth having time set aside for discussion.

I'm assuming this CFP closed for real this time. So in order to avoid
confusion I'll replace the announcement banner we have on the website
with another one, encouraging users to sign up for the announcement
list so they will be notified about when AOO 3.4.1 is available. We
can then replace that with the real 3.4.1 announcement when available.
