Hi,

FYI, on October 26th, LibreOffice is doing their first hackfest in Seattle, see below email.

Please attend if you can help, they need writers, translators, localizers, developers, testers, etc.

Note, free t-shirt! :-)

Thanks, Lee

PS: I hope everyone also knows about SeaGL.org, too. This hackathon is the Sunday after SeaGL.

Hi all,

I've already chatted with a number of you about our LibreOffice community event on Sunday Oct 26th, but I figured that I'd ping the LibrePlanet list and see if you had suggestions about individuals or groups that we should invite to our Bug-Triaging-Bee and Hackfest.

Greater diversity is always appreciated at our events, and although we don't have a huge community in the US yet, I'm very interested in your input about the best ways for us to include all types of LibreOffice users in the LibreFests that we run.

Here's my invite list so far: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/Seattle_LibreFest#People_to_...

Haven't heard about the LibreOffice LibreFest yet? Please continue reading below! :-)

Thanks, --R

-------------------------

The Sunday after SeaGL (Oct 26th) we'll be holding a LibreOffice 'LibreFest' Bug Triaging Bee and Hackfest at the University of Washington in Seattle, and we want YOU to join us!

We'll be teaching people how to test, confirm, and find new bugs in LibreOffice, and how to build LibreOffice from source code and make their first commit.

To thank you for your hard work, we'll have plenty of Free Food & a T-shirt for each participant.

SIGN UP: Just email me with - Your T-shirt size - If you're interested in the Bug Bee, the Hackfest, or both!

Cheers, --R

P.S. Carpooling to Seattle is encouraged. Let me know if I can help facilitate :-)
