This year the annual OpenOffice.org Conference will be held in Beijing.

“Since Redflag 2000 and IBM officially joined OpenOffice.org in 2007, Beijing has become the second hot-spot for the development of OpenOffice.org and several derived products. The contributions to OOo from China are steadily growing. It’s an exciting time: China’s software developers and users are able to look at office software with fresh minds, untainted by years of exposure to Microsoft products.”

The conference starts on November 5. News updates should be frequent during the run-up to the conference and there are many interesting sessions planned for the conference itself. I’m especially excited by the case studies of major national-scale adoptions happening around the world, specifically Malaysia, Cambodia, Spain and Brazil.
