Vote for Beijing to host OpenOffice.org

As I already indicated in my previous blog, Beijing submitted a proposal to host the 2008 International OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2008).

Recently, the OOoCon voting has started. And, well, here's my appeal:

Dear OpenOffice.org developers and users all over Asia, please help Beijing become the first location outside of Europe to host the OpenOffice.org Annual Conference. If you were a registered user of OpenOffice.org at Jan. 1 this year, you can cast your vote at the OOoCon 2008 voting page.

Thank you in advance,
Peter
