I'd be thrilled if we could send anyone to this conference, however as far as 
I've seen you don't seem to be having much luck with our doc people.

I think the biggest problem with the Open Help conference is that it's in the 
"wrong" side of the Atlantic given most of our doc writers are european-based 
hobbists so it's difficult to get to Cincinnati for a 5 day conference.

A smaller (2-3 day) closer (i.e Euro-based) spring might be easier for them to 
attend and thus what Ingo proposes might have a better welcome around here.

Cheers and good luck with the conference :-)
