Hello Everyone,

It sounds like some internal discussions still need to take place on this proposed ODF Virtual plug-fest, so we'll wait for further details from the committee. In the meantime, would it be appropriate to re-visit the list I pulled together of potential event oppportunities for ODF? Below is another copy of that list (less those that have past). Please let me know if you would like to discuss any of these opportunities or others during your next meeting on the 10th. Thanks, Jane
