LibreOffice Community announces broad program for its Berlin conference

Tracks on development, marketing, migration and community success
The Document Foundation to host official ODF Plugfest and ODF Plugtesting

The LibreOffice community today announces the program for its Berlin 
conference (October 17th to 19th). Taking place at the conference center 
of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), and 
sponsored by leading players Canonical, Google and SerNet, it is not 
only the annual gathering of the worldwide community, but also meeting 
point for governmental and corporate adopters and innovators.

"With three tracks in parallel, plus the ODF Plugfest, including ODF 
Plugtesting, this years' LibreOffice Conference is the major event for 
everyone interested in the development of free office suites and the 
OpenDocument ecosystem at large", says Volker Merschmann, member of the 
program comittee.

Jacqueline Rahemipour, lead organizer from the host Freies Office 
Deutschland e.V., states: "Our program reflects the broad engagement and 
diversity of the community, and includes talks and workshops from 
various areas of the project. Interested users, developers, marketeers, 
as well as corporate and governmental adopters are invited to come to 
Berlin, to exchange ideas and jointly work on shaping the future of free 
office suites."

Interested participants are required to register no later than October 
8th at http://conference.libreoffice.org/registration

Following the project's principles, the conference system has been 
implemented exclusively using free software. Board member Andreas Mantke 
has been developing an addon, based on Dexterity for the Plone CMS.
