| <h2>The Call for Location is now closed</h2> |
| |
| <p><strong>Please note the Call for Location closed at midnight UTC on |

| |
| <p>Details of the proposals received will be posted shortly.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Call for Location</h2> |
| |
| <p>The OpenOffice.org Community is now accepting proposals for hosting |
| its next annual international conference, OOoCon 2009. Since the first |
| conference in 2003, OOoCon has been held in Germany, Slovenia, France, |
| Spain, and China - could your local OpenOffice.org community rise to the |
| challenge in 2009?</p> |
| |
| <p>Hosting OOoCon is challenging, rewarding, exhilarating, exhausting ... |
| and can provide a huge publicity boost for OpenOffice.org in your |
| country. There is no fixed date for OOoCon, although past conferences |
| have been held in the autumn.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Submitting a proposal</h2> |
| |
| <p>Proposals should be submitted before midnight UTC on February 1st 2009 |
| and must follow the following guidelines:</p> |
| |
| <h3>Section 1 – Mandatory Information</h3> |
| |
| <p>Proposed Date(s):<br /> |
| Location (country, city):<br /> |
| Special visa or entry requirements (e.g. vaccinations):<br /> |
| Conference venue(s) (e.g. university campus, municipal buildings):<br /> |
| Conference facilities (e.g. WiFi, video streaming/recording):<br /> |
| Accommodation (especially any low cost hostels etc):<br /> |
| External transport links (nearest airport(s)):<br /> |
| Internal transport links (within city):<br /> |
| Team Lead (main contact person):<br /> |
| Team Members (all members should be willing and able to commit at least 3 |
| hours per day to planning the conference during the last two weeks before |
| OOoCon 2009):<br /> |
| Local events that are taking place in parallel (or immediately |
| before/after):</p> |
| |
| <h3>Section 2 – Your proposal</h3> |
| |
| <p>In 400 words or less, answer this question:<br /> |
| <strong>Why should the Community award OOoCon 2009 to your |
| team?</strong></p> |
| |
| <p><em>Note:</em> There have also been recommendations that we should |
| move to a two year cycle, so this year we would also award OOoCon 2010. |
| The team running 2010 would be expected to 'shadow' the 2009 team, to |
| help them with the 2009 event, and prepare better for their own OOoCon |
| the following year.</p> |
| |
| <p>Please indicate in your proposal if you would be happy to be |
| considered for OOoCon 2010 if your bid for 2009 is unsuccessful.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Submitting a Proposal</h2> |
| |
| <p>Proposals should be sent to the <a href= |
| "mailto:ooocon2009@openoffice.org">ooocon2009 (at) |
| openoffice.org</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>The deadline for submissions is <strong>midnight UTC on February 1st |
| 2009</strong>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Shortly after that date we will publish the applications and start the |
| selection process, during which Community members will be invited to make |
| their preferences known through a community consultation process.</p> |
| |
