Hello list - and hopefully font of information -or- at least leads perhaps.. Actually this email has two parts: Part One: Thanks, in large part to the generousness of the folks over at WorldLabel.com, OpenOffice.org will be hosting a booth at the American Library Associations's national conference. There is information about the event available at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/US/Home/ALA-2010 If there is anyone on the list that would be interested in helping with this - most particularly anyone living the Washington DC area that might be willing to help out at the booth: I'm trying to arrange a kick-off type get together on IRC at irc://freenode/ooousa Feel free to sign up if you want to get more involved (or just browse the channel..) - and a meeting scheduler at Doodle: http://doodle.com/8axp46z5svkc6m32 So that's it for the first part. Part Two: As part of this I would live to put together a paper comparing the projected costs for running a small-medium sized (say a town of 30-100 thousand) library system. I know that some of the FOSS cataloging systems are running on PostgreSQL - I assume that EnterpriseDB may be in this market..don't know. Anyway - if you are and using FOSS or you have a lead for me I would appreciate a nudge. (direct email works) This seemed like the right place to ask that - hope it wasn't too far OT. Thanks for your time, Drew
