[Libreoffice-qa] Extensive docx conversion tests...

Hey Jay,

Great to hear that you plan on joining. The best way is either (1) 
google hangout - which myself or Florian R. typically try to open, feel 
free to add both of us on Google+ if you have an account or (2) talkyoo 
but I just saw that there is no UAE #, so if you use that method you can 
either use a phone to call hopefully not too long distance (I know this 
method isn't ideal) or use skype to call the #. Unfortunately skype and 
talkyoo don't play nice often.

So I think for your situation if possible using Google Hangouts is best 
to either directly dial into the conference 
http://www.talkyoo.net/en/conference_call_international_numbers (call 
the US #) or by adding myself/Florian to Google+ so you get the 
notification. If you ping us just before the call we'll give you a 
direct link to the hangout.

If you do dial talkyoo directly the room # is *537138*

Lastly if you want to jump into the chat to say hello - it's usually 
pretty active. I'm currently really busy but my schedule opens up in 2 
weeks so I'll be around for the coming few months quite often.

Warm Regards,
Joel
