The next OpenOffice.org Annual Conference 2008 (OOoCon) will be held in Beijing, China. Bratislava, Budapest, Dundalk and last but not least our beloved Orvieto, have lost.
Beijing by harukwan
Despite the biggest concentration of developers appears to be in Europe, the OOoCon will take place in Beijing, since 597 persons voted for the Chinese location.
Asking my Linkedin contacts to vote for Orvieto I got many positive feedback, and as a matter of fact Italy is the second best, with 126 votes.
I wish to thank all OpenOffice.org users who vote for Italy, maybe we’ll manage to win next year.. 
No wonder Chinese developers participate heavily in these kinds of votes: desktop software is unbelievably expensive by Chinese standards of living, so OpenOffice and other free applications come as a blessing to Chinese users.
