OpenOffice was there present for many years and it can be of course an
opportunity to reach out to other open source developers there.

Depending on the feedback of the organizers I can also think about a
joined devroom with the LibreOffice folks. Space for devrooms is limited
and I can of course think about a joined effort here. I am at least open
for this if wanted.

I will support any activities and will probably join the conference.
FOSDEM is a nice event and it makes always fun to meet so many open
source freaks. I can only recommend it from this perspective and it is
always on a weekend.
