So, we are half way through day 1 of the conference.  So far it has been mostly general presentations... a keynote address by Louis (the OOo Community Manager), and a formal meeting and presentation from the Catalan leaders.  I missed the beginning of the presentation, so I don't know if they were government officials, University officials or what...

The next presentation was really interesting.... the presentation from the Chinese delegation from RedOffice.  It was presented in Chinese with a running translation.  One of the key things I picked out of the presentation was how different the Chinese software needs are compared to the "western" software needs.  This was really emphasized in the slides.

Anyway, more presentations and meetings coming up this afternoon.

It might all seem boring, but it isn't.  The people involved here really are passionate about OpenOffice, and you can really see it in their presentations.

More later... if anyone is readding this
