     <h2>The Event</h2>

     <p>The OpenOffice.org Annual International Conference (OOoCon) is the
     premier event for anyone interested in or working with OpenOffice.org.
     OOoCon is where representatives of all the community projects meet to
     celebrate and learn from the achievements of the past twelve months, and
     discuss how to meet the challenges of the next twelve.</p>

     <h2>The Location</h2>

     <p>Every year, a completely new team adopts OOoCon, brings it to their
     country, and puts their own flavour on it. The result is a conference
     which has a lot of fresh energy every year, guarantees suprises, but
     which is also reliably interesting. Many attendees consider it to be one
     of the most informative and friendliest open-source events to be found
     anywhere in the world.</p>

     <h2>2009 - we're changing the process</h2>

     <p>We have had some brilliant conferences over the years, but it is hard
     work indeed for a team to start from scratch, and run an event the size
     of OOoCon after as little as six months’ preparation. This year, we are
     changing the way we award OOoCon. We would like to award not just OOoCon
     2009, but also OOoCon 2010. The team selected for OOoCon 2010 will work
     alongside the OOoCon 2009 team, to help them with OOoCon 2009, and also
     learn how to make OOoCon 2010 even better. Then next year we will award
     OOoCon 2011, etc.</p>

     <p>So this means that this year, we'll be asking for the Community's
     preferences for the location of two conferences: OOoCon 2009 and OOoCon
     2010.</p>

     <h2>The Choices</h2>

     <p>OOoCon is the Community's conference, so it's only right that the
     <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/guidelines.html">Community
     members</a> have a say in where it is held. <em>If you were a registered
     Community member on 1st January 2009, and you would like to attend
     OOoCon, you are entitled to have a say</em> in where OOoCon is held.</p>

     <p>Teams were asked to provide information in a <a href="cfl.html">Call
     for Location</a>. Their replies have been presented in the same format to
     make it easy to compare one with another. Some teams have provided more
     complete answers than others.</p>

     <p>There are six locations to choose from this year:</p>

     <ul>
       <li><a href="alexandria.html">Alexandria</a>, Egypt</li>

       <li><a href="budapest.html">Budapest</a>, Hungary</li>

       <li><a href="guwahati.html">Guwahati</a>, India</li>

       <li><a href="orvieto.html">Orvieto</a>, Italy</li>

       <li style="list-style: none"><a href="budapest.html"></a></li>

       <li><a href="quezon.html">Quezon City</a>, Philippines</li>

       <li><a href="reykjavik.html">Reykjavik</a>, Iceland</li>

       <li><a href="riga.html">Riga</a>, Latvia</li>
     </ul>
     <!-- <p>Keep watching this page for details of the Community consultation
     process!</p>
     <p>Please read the details of each venue carefully, and decide where you
     would like to attend OOoCon. Once you have made your choice(s), please
     <a href="vote.html"><font size="+2">register your choice(s)</a></font>.</p>

     <h2>The Timetable</h2>

     <p>Voting closed at midnight UTC on February 27th., and the locations of
     OOoCon 2009 and OOoCon 2010 will be announced shortly afterwards once all
     the preferences have been verified and verified.</p> -->

     <h2>The Results</h2>

     <p>The results of the Community Consultation process were announced on
     March 3rd. Orvieto, Italy emerged as a clear favourite with 48% of the
     votes. Budapest, Hungary was second with 29%. The remaining five bids all
     scored less than 10% each, so</p>

     <ul>
       <li><strong>OOoCon 2009 will be held in <a href=
       "orvieto.html">Orvieto</a></strong></li>

       <li>OOoCon 2010 will be held in <a href=
       "budapest.html">Budapest</a></li>
     </ul>

     <p>See you at OOoCon!</p>
