     <h2>Section 2 – Proposal</h2>

     <p>In 400 words or less, answer this question:</p>

     <div class="quotation">
       <p>Why should the Community award OOoCon 2009/2010 to your team?</p>
     </div>

     <p>The city of Orvieto, with its 21,000 inhabitants, is one of the most
     charming cities of art in Italy. Located in Umbria, it's 100 km far from
     Rome and 140 km from Florence and easy to reach by plane, train and car.
     It is a center for courses leading to university degrees (Informatics and
     Telecommunications Engineering), post-graduate courses (Architecture,
     Health Psychology, Archeology), as well as specialization courses of
     prestigious Italian universities.</p>

     <p>The plateau with its tufa cliff walls defines the area of the
     historical center of Orvieto – a stupendous palimpsest of Etruscan,
     Medieval and Renaissance structures. The city is known for its efficient
     congress facilities and a qualified service network for hospitality.
     Restaurants, wine and champagne bars and pubs offer a variety of the fine
     wines and foods for which Orvieto is famous. These features together with
     the intact environment, pleasant climate and a system of alternative
     mobility make the city ideal for meetings, seminars and study days of all
     kinds.</p>

     <p>Not by chance Orvieto, world capital of good living (“Cittaslow”), has
     hosted important national and international appointments: Slow Food World
     Congress, Hydrogencities foundation (with J. Rifkin) and it is site of
     prestigious cultural events during the year which include Umbria Jazz
     Winter, Barzini Award for the special correspondent (in collaboration
     with the Corriere della Sera), the International Award for Human Rights,
     outstanding Art exhibits, Conventions and post-graduate studies of
     American universities.</p>

     <p>The political-administrative context is particularly favorable for
     open source culture. Umbria – the region in which Orvieto is located –
     was one of the first Italian regions to approve a law on “informatics
     pluralism” and to have instituted (L.R. n. 11 of 2006) a Center of
     Competence on Open Source that works to favor the introduction of open
     source software in the Public Administration and in the schools.</p>

     <p>The Municipal Administration totally supports the candidature of
     Orvieto as an OOoCon2009 center, already translated into precise
     commitments for logistic and organizational collaboration.</p>

     <p>We would like to introduce some improvements with the OooCon2009:</p>

     <ul>
       <li>an Italian session with simultaneous translation will be kept in
       parallel to the traditional ones in order to attract more developers
       and companies from the country to join OOo community and exploit main
       speakers presence</li>

       <li>a special session marteking to developers will be arranged</li>

       <li>community events will receive a special attention</li>
     </ul>

	<h2>Section 2 – Proposal</h2>

	<p>In 400 words or less, answer this question:</p>

	<div class="quotation">
	<p>Why should the Community award OOoCon 2009/2010 to your team?</p>
	</div>

	<p>The city of Orvieto, with its 21,000 inhabitants, is one of the most
	charming cities of art in Italy. Located in Umbria, it's 100 km far from
	Rome and 140 km from Florence and easy to reach by plane, train and car.
	It is a center for courses leading to university degrees (Informatics and
	Telecommunications Engineering), post-graduate courses (Architecture,
	Health Psychology, Archeology), as well as specialization courses of
	prestigious Italian universities.</p>

	<p>The plateau with its tufa cliff walls defines the area of the
	historical center of Orvieto – a stupendous palimpsest of Etruscan,
	Medieval and Renaissance structures. The city is known for its efficient
	congress facilities and a qualified service network for hospitality.
	Restaurants, wine and champagne bars and pubs offer a variety of the fine
	wines and foods for which Orvieto is famous. These features together with
	the intact environment, pleasant climate and a system of alternative
	mobility make the city ideal for meetings, seminars and study days of all
	kinds.</p>

	<p>Not by chance Orvieto, world capital of good living (“Cittaslow”), has
	hosted important national and international appointments: Slow Food World
	Congress, Hydrogencities foundation (with J. Rifkin) and it is site of
	prestigious cultural events during the year which include Umbria Jazz
	Winter, Barzini Award for the special correspondent (in collaboration
	with the Corriere della Sera), the International Award for Human Rights,
	outstanding Art exhibits, Conventions and post-graduate studies of
	American universities.</p>

	<p>The political-administrative context is particularly favorable for
	open source culture. Umbria – the region in which Orvieto is located –
	was one of the first Italian regions to approve a law on “informatics
	pluralism” and to have instituted (L.R. n. 11 of 2006) a Center of
	Competence on Open Source that works to favor the introduction of open
	source software in the Public Administration and in the schools.</p>

	<p>The Municipal Administration totally supports the candidature of
	Orvieto as an OOoCon2009 center, already translated into precise
	commitments for logistic and organizational collaboration.</p>

	<p>We would like to introduce some improvements with the OooCon2009:</p>

	<ul>
	<li>an Italian session with simultaneous translation will be kept in
	parallel to the traditional ones in order to attract more developers
	and companies from the country to join OOo community and exploit main
	speakers presence</li>

	<li>a special session marteking to developers will be arranged</li>

	<li>community events will receive a special attention</li>
	</ul>
