One of the pleasures of attending the OpenOffice.org Annual Conference is catching up with old friends. I always make a point of having a chat with Zaheda, one of the founders of the OpenOffice.org community, now with Google, but still keeping a keen interest in OpenOffice.org.

Zaheda is doing a Conference session The OOo Global Community which should be a ‘must see’ - note to community members - expect to be asked for your stories over the next few weeks! Conference attendees love to celebrate the new achievements of the OpenOffice.org software - let’s also celebrate the people who make it happen.

On a related topic, Phil Whitehouse has an interesting piece on building communities. There’s a growing feeling in OpenOffice.org that some of the structures could do with a good spring clean, starting with the Community Council. Maybe we need to spend some time on this in the bars in Beijing
