All,
Apologies if you have seen this before....
OpenOffice.org will be having a booth (#139) at LinuxWorld
Expo
Boston and you are invited! You are also invited to help
out. We need
booth beings, artwork, clever presentations showcasing
OpenOffice.org, and any other kind of moral, monetary, or
vocal
support you can offer. This event is of some importance, for
it is
taking place in what is widely perceived as the
epicentre--Boston--
of the U.S. public sector move to using the open standard
file format
OpenOffice.org uses, the OASIS OpenDocument Format, or ODF.
The old-
but-powerful stick-in-the-mud elements have been resisting
mightily,
but the forces for freedom, open standards, and superior
technology
are advancing, and Massachusetts is still scheduled to adopt
the ODF
January 1, 2007. But nothing is absolutely certain.
So, you can see why this event is of some importance and why
we need
to show just how good OpenOffice.org is. The event goes from
3-6
April, with the exhibition hall open from 4-6 April. You can
learn
more about it by going to http://www.lin

If you can help out in any way, let me know. I'm putting
together the
team for the exhibition at LWE Boston and time is speeding
by. Send
an email to louis at openoffice.org if you want to help out.
Cheers,
Louis
