RE: [office] Microsoft ODF workshop

[Doug Mahugh <Doug.Mahugh@microsoft.com>]

Hi everyone, this is to follow up on the question about virtual participation in our workshop ...

I’ve looked into this, and unfortunately we won’t be able to enable real-time virtual participation.  We’re looking into the feasibility of videotaping some/all of the sessions, however, to make them available after the event.  If people attending the event aren’t comfortable with that, then we’ll need to look at potentially distributing just the presentation slides, or potentially re-presenting via a webcast.  The details are still being worked out, but we'll find a way to get the content out more broadly after the workshop is completed.

Regards,
Doug

Is there a way to facilitate some kind of virtual participation?  I
could imagine a variety of possibilities, but opening things up beyond
a closed circle of people who can manage the f2f in this context would
seem to be a good idea all around.

And yes, encouraging discussions among vendors at different venues
would be a good idea.
