Introduction

Wiki MarkupThe Apache OpenOffice project has the opportunity to propose and manage a 'conference within a conference' as proposed on May 8th. \ [[1]\]
On the apachecon-discuss list there is a more extensive discussion covering the broader ApacheCON EU topic. \ [[2]\]

For the overall ApacheCON there is space for about 500 people. There are over three levels of meeting space in the Arena. One level can hold either 300 in one track, or 3*100 tracks, the other either 200 or 2*100.

Audiences may gather on multiple levels, and share a common stage/screen for viewing. This would be ideal for keynotes and larger sessions.

Wiki MarkupI made a proposal for an 'OpenOffice Conference' on the apachecon-dicuss list..within the ApacheCON EU overall conference, or a 'Conference-within-a-Conference' concept. \ [3\]

Wiki MarkupToday, June 20th, I responded to an invitation on the Apachecon-discuss list to submit a proposal for our 'track', as 'Conference-within-a-Conference'. \ [4\]  You can see the results of my submission and others collected in a Google Doc here.\[5\]  You can see the results of my submission and others collected in a Google Doc here.[5]

Please take a look at this proposal. It is just that a 'proposal' intended to get out planning process more fully engaged. Everything I submitted is open to edit/change/add/delete etc. You will see that I self-nominated to be Chair and asked Juergen Schmidt if he would be the 'backup chair', or Co-Chair. We are placeholders in these roles for now subject to the community's approval.
