Greetings all, The talk went quite well. I'm happy, it looks like we're getting a consistent number of attendants for the talks (around 17 each time). It's interesting that it's not always the same people. I guess that's a good thing, because we're reaching out to many. The logs are here: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/logs/14-May-2005-Non-Profit.html The talk went quite well. The discussion afterwards was interesting and useful. Some key points that I got from the conference: * Having non-profit organizations (NPO) can be a significant help for developing OOo. * An NPO should have a business plan, just like a company. How it's going to get money (membership fees? fund-rasing? donations?) and how it's going to spend it :-) * An NPO could contribute by hiring developers, or helping contributors lower their expenses. For expample, by sponsoring them to attend OOoCon. * Be sure to include the community in running the NPO. Especially when it comes to how to spend money (e.g. "who do we hire?"). I encourage everyone to see the logs and the slides for full details. Cheers, Daniel.
