Hi guys,

I'm the team lead for the GNOME documentation team, and the developer
of the documentation viewer and tools used in GNOME. I'm emailing you
because you're all listed as the developers of the XO Help activity.

For the last two years, I've been running a conference that focuses
on documentation and support in open source and open communities.
The third Open Help Conference is this June.

http://openhelpconference.com/

We regularly get contributors to projects like Mozilla, OpenStack,
FreeBSD, and of course GNOME. The two-day conference portion has a
heavy emphasis on open, attendee-led discussions, with only a few
presentations to spark the conversation.

We also host a number of teams for doc sprints for three days after
the conference. Sprint attendance is not mandatory, and each team
runs its own sprint. The teams do get together to share thoughts
and hang out.

Do you think anybody within the Sugar and OLPC communities would
be interested in attending? I think it's a shame that Sugar and
GNOME people don't talk more often, and I'd love to meet anyone
interested in documentation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Shaun
