Subject: Re: [odf-camp] ODF Implementation,Interoperability and Conformance (IIC) TC
Hello all, So, let's all renew our interest in this anticipated camp. I will go through the subscription list for the OOo list (odf-camp) and add/ subtract any who so desire it. But, to answer Peter's query below, yes, we are having the camp again, though it's more properly a workshop. And we are planning for it now. -louis On 2008-06-03, at 21:41 , pj @ OOo wrote: > Hi, > > just to pick this up here. Is there any ODF workshop planned to be > help at this years OOoCon in Bejing?
