These technical presentations: they can arguably be part of the overall OOoCon, yes?

So: Workshop on interoperability (ODF) on Day 1, with presentations on ODF in an ODF track as part of the overall conference. Is that okay? We could then have final presentations by the vendors of ODF enabled apps on the last day, with the focus being on OOo derivatives. I think that would work.
