OpenOffice Conferences: GoOOoCon 2008, in case Beiing is too far for you
 The Novell team thought that, what with the next OOoCon being in Beijing and the cost of travel there (etc.) and of course the broad focus of that conference; that it would be good to have a very hacker-focused event in Europe. So, we’re inviting all hyper-technical people (with or without long hair) to join the Novell go-oo team for part of their annual team face-to-face in Prague (GoOO0Con 2008).
To re-iterate, this is not an attempt to undermine OOoCon – if you can only afford to go to one conference (money, time, spousal -patience / whatever); go to OOoCon.
Well done Michael Meeks, you at OpenSuse are giving us poor European an option! 😉

Actually I gather the Chinese hosts of OOoCon are offering to pay the travel expenses of people who can’t otherwise afford to be there, so the location may turn out to be less costly to travel to than a European one…

Simon that’s a GREAT news, really!
How could people eventually take advantage of such generous offer?

I’m investigating the details but I’m sure they will publicise it clearly when they have a process ready.
