The topics will focus on developers, marketers, locales and users. The users track has been one of the most requested track on past OOoCon and we could use online conferences as a testbed for end user tracks.

Depending on the evaluation process and acceptance the timeline will be shorter than a physical conference. We could generate enough buzz within 1 month of preparing the conference.

Tips and recomendations
Make sure that we have your presentation at least 24 hours before your meeting. This will make us able to work as a backup in case you need assistance.
The current environment don't have desktop sharing so please include screenshots if you need to show an app specifically.
You would need a mic to give an oral presentation, which is very advisable. Make sure to have a good quality mic. USB mics are great, however a regular mics are fine too, we do encourage to test your mic before the session.
We also recomend to export your presentations as PDF and an emergency backup as html since you will be able to upload images dynamically during the presentation.
