[ODFPlugtest] ODF plugfest in Brussels, July 2010 ?

[Hanssens Bart]

Ok, what about this:

- "traditional" ODF plugfest in Brussels halfway or end June, similar to the ones
in The Hague / Orvieto (celebrating the 1st anniversary of the plugfest ;-) with
talks in the morning and tests in the afternoon

- and a "plugfest special" or ODF track at the aKademy, focusing on ODF on
mobile devices (Finland being the home of Nokia... ) like KOffice on Maemo,
viewers for Android, AbiWord on OLPC, FileAid for the iPhone, SoftMaker on
Windows Mobile, Visor ODF on Blackberry... ?

Best regards,

Bart

So that would mean we should:

- either move the Brussels event to June (but then I'll have to check if the
governments are OK with that, because it is of course far more interesting
to do it during the presidency)

- or do a plugfest in Finland and another on in Brussel in October /
November ?


Best regards,

Bart

Another alternative would be to hold it at the KDE Akademy
(http://akademy.kde.org).  We had an ODF there in 2006 in Dublin, and it fit
very well in the theme of the conference.  KDE is one of the big proponents of
ODF, and I'm sure the Akademy organizers would love to host it there.

I hereby offer to help out with the arrangements.

The problem with your dates is that if the plugfest is *not* held at Akademy,
not many representatives of KOffice will be able to turn up.
