Office 2.0 conference

I'm just back from the Office 2.0 conference in San Francisco. I was participating in a panel discussion about Document Formats:



Very nice crowd the Office 2.0 guys. They really taught me to think more about collaboration.

Many thanks for the nice presentations. (And for the insight that most of you use OpenOffice.org to convert between HTML and the other file formats ;-))

Ahh -- and almost forget. I will look into OpenSAM. Promised. Sounds really like a good idea for OpenOffice.org supporting it.
