Hi Ingo,

I posted last month about the upcoming Open Help Conference & Sprints:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-doc-english&m=133415393202540&w=2
http://openhelpconference.com/

It's two days of presentations and open discussion, followed by three
days (or more, if you want) of multiple-team sprints. The event is in
August, a bit earlier than your proposed sprint. But the multi-sprint
format allows you to work with other projects and distro documentation
people to share ideas, work, and solutions.

Is there anything I can do to get the KDE team to join in?

Thanks,
Shaun
