The organisers welcome papers from the broad OpenOffice.org community on topics ranging from developing OpenOffice.org to marketing it; from the global politics of the free and open-source software (FOSS) movement to the technical challenges of localization. OOoCon is a forum for technical as well as general examinations of OpenOffice.org's place in the expanding world of FOSS.
If you would like to present a paper at OOoCon2007, please study the Call for Papers and prepare the following information. Note that items marked (P) will be published in the Programme.
Please submit your proposal using the on-line form before 1 June 2007.
Once the closing date has passed, the Selection Committee will review and vote on all the proposals with a view to creating a balanced and attractive programme. The Committee will aim to let all the proposers know whether they have been selected or not by the middle of June. A small number of speakers may be asked whether they are happy to remain on a 'wait list' in case of cancellations.
An OpenOffice.org Impress template recommended for use for the conference presentations will be published around 1 June 2007. All speakers are required to file a copy of their presentations with the Conference organisers. These presentations will be made publicly available on the Conference website.
Please note that your session may be streamed as a live broadcast and may be recorded and made available for download from the Conference website.
