Abstract of the presentation
The NL.OpenOffice.org project represents Dutch speaking people and organizations inside the global OpenOffice.org community. Although this community shows many similarities to other open software communities, the size of the project and the target audience give it it's own unique features. OpenOffice.org is split up in a number of projects. There are projects for marketing, documentation, localization and api. Community members choose, based upon their interests, in which project(s) they want to participate. One of the biggest projects inside OpenOffice.org is the Native Lang Confederation. Here you find the so called native lang communities. NL.OpenOffice.org is one of those projects.
