Hi,
We (flossk) have gotten the sources from shumbin, he is very busy.
He came and spoke at the conference, I will have the videos online in some
time.
Agron is also part of flossk, I would like to see flossk taking a larger
role in openoffice,
it would be great to hold a openoffice workshop in kosovo and albania,
can we get someone to come to one of the conferences this year:

thanks,
mike
