All,

The OpenOffice.org presence in India is large and growing. Millions  
use it there, in numerous languages. This December, as part of the  
internationally renown foss.in conference held annually in Bangalore,  
OpenOffice.org will have its first Project Day: a day devoted to talks  
and workshops on OpenOffice.org, its code, architecture, community,  
extensions, future. You are invited.

With members from the local community presenting on issues pertinent  
to India and with speakers flying in from Germany and Canada, the  
OpenOffice.org Project Day gives all Indian community members the  
opportunity not just to learn but to speak their own voice directly to  
the project leads. And as OpenOffice.org becomes the productivity  
platform of choice, those voices are ever more important.

We look forward to seeing you there. To register for the conference,

About OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org is the leading open-source productivity suite. It  
includes word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing,  
database, and other modules; it uses the ODF as its native file format  
as well as supporting other common file formats, including Microsoft  
Office. The software runs on all major platforms, including Windows,  
Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and is available in over 80 languages.  
OpenOffice.org is interoperable with other popular suites and may be  
used free of charge for any purpose, private or commercial; the  
license is LGPL.

Since the project's creation by Sun Microsystems in 2000, more than  
100 million have downloaded the product; thousands contribute to it.  
As an international team of volunteer and sponsored contributors, the  
OpenOffice.org community has created what is widely regarded as the  
most important open-source project in the world today. The  
OpenOffice.org community acknowledges generous sponsorship from a  
number of companies, including Sun Microsystems, the founder and  
primary contributor.
