OUT - STANDING!

Thanks to ALL for setting this up. The Flyer looks GREAT.

It's exciting that these two communities can help each other. A better world for all!
I don't know why but I find this even more exciting then Neo at the OOo conference!

Yes, Ray has done an amazing job and I'm really thankful to him for taking out all of this time and putting together such an amazing thing.  I was looking forward to seeing France, but now I get to see Switzerland for the first time as well!!   And the flyers are truly beautiful.  My Writer skills have totally been shamed

yes, Well done, Ray! Great effort.

Just a note: I added the Geneva event onto our official iCal scheudle and changed the default view for the HTML from week to month as now we're spanning multiple weeks. Let me know if the scheule isn't updating in iCal if you've subscribed or if the HTML is wrong...this honestly is the first time I've ever tried to publish an iCal schedule.

Man, I'm getting psyched for the upcoming weeks

There's a problem with time zones: Your iCal calendar has USA/Pacific as time zone, therefore for everybody in another time zone the times are wrong. E.g. my iCal (Berlin/Europe) shows "NeoOffice: The Next Steps" at Tuesday, September 12th at midnight. I have no idea, if deactivating time zones (via iCal preferences) helps to ignore time zones when saving/editing/publishing the calendar, it doesn't help for me to display it properly at the moment. But I remember the times were ok when you first published the calendar.

Edit: Typo.

[OPENSTEP]

Aha, good call. Yes, the timezones are all Pacific. I'll see if I can shift that in the published calendar to make it local to France. It'd be easier if everyone could ditch this concept of daytime and use UTC

ed

[OPENSTEP]

OK, I updated the timezones in the published calendar to reflect Geneva for the Geneva event and Paris for the other events (I assume Paris is in Lyon time zone...really, I'm totally an idiot in European time zones).

To do this I enabed time zones in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Turn on time zone support, corrected the time zones, and then re-uploaded the calendar to our www server. Let me know if that's the right thing to do. I've never actually used iCal outside of my own timezone and had always put in events manually since it made dealing with things on my Palm much easier (e.g. I live my whole life on PST regardless of what timezone I may physically be in, daylight savings time included).

Sure. Paris, Lyon, Geneva & Zurich are all in the same time zone

I guess your first & last name is all you need to register ?

Also, I'm not sure where rue du Pré-Jérôme is ...
