exactly i send out a CFP yesterday on various OOo mailing lists. At this 
time i didn't know about the fact that we will share our DevRoom with 
the ODF group. But it's natural that we have some overlaps and i don't 
see problem.

I would suggest that you put your proposals until December 18th on the 
wiki page as well.

Regards

Hi,

the OpenOffice.org project will have again a DevRoom at the FOSDEM 2010. 
The conference will take place from 6-7 February 2010 in Brussels, 
Belgium. Our DevRoom will be on Saturday February 6th from 1:00pm to 7:00pm.

It is up to us to organize an interesting and exciting DevRoom to 
present our project and to show that OpenOffice.org offers a wide area 
for developers. The DevRoom should attract potential new developers as 
well as experienced ones. We should share our knowledge with others, 
should organize coding or QA sessions, workshops or talks where we refer 
about or highlight a special topic.

You can be part of it!

If you are interested in doing a talk, a workshop or coding/QA session 
please let us know. Please submit your proposal on the wiki page 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FOSDEM/2010/CFP until December 
18th 2009.

It is not yet guaranteed that we can sponsor our speakers next year 
again but it's likely that we can sponsor at least parts of the costs. 
So don't hesitate and submit your proposal. We are looking forward to 
receive it.

Thanks

Juergen
