| First OpenOffice.org Conference to held in Germany this March |
Jan. 20, 2003
From the OpenOffice.org Conference Team . . .
The OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2003) will be held March 20 - 21, 2003 at the University of Hamburg in Germany.
Meet the community, users, and community sponsors at the first OpenOffice.org Conference. The conference will take place right after CeBIT, which ends March 19th. The conference will feature high-profile keynote speakers from the developer community, European politics, the open-source movement, and main sponsor, Sun Microsystems, Inc. The conference will also include some limited exhibition space.
Miguel de Icaza and Bruce Perens both say that OpenOffice.org is THE most important Open Source project because people can try it without switching from Windows and if they do they'll discover that Open Source can work for them. They don't have to pay big bucks for office productivity.
"I've seen the OpenOffice.org community evolve over the last two years into a place where Sun and the community really do work together towards the common goal of making office productivity available at low or no cost to everyone. Their work is driving a lot of the interest in Open Source that we're seeing now in emerging markets like India and China. It is my sincere hope that more developers will show up to work on the OpenOffice.org project so the community can really make it their own", says Danese Cooper, Sun's Open Source Diva.
