14 DAY TRIAL // The Document Foundation's Mike Saunders is announcing today that the LibreOffice Conference 2017 event will take place later this year in October and that it now has a host city.
The LibreOffice team choose Rome, Italy, as the host city for this year's LibreOffice Conference event, which seems to start on Wednesday, October 11 and end on Friday, October 13, 2017. There will be three days full of talks, workshops, and hacking sessions to improve the popular, open-source, and cross-platform LibreOffice office suite on all supported platforms.
LibreOffice Conference is a great opportunity for LibreOffice developers, users, translators, supporters, and other members of the community to meet up, share their knowledge, and plan new features for future versions of the office suite, such as LibreOffice 6.0, due in early 2018. And today they want you to submit your ideas of topics and tracks for the upcoming conference.
"If you’re attending and want to give a talk or presentation about what you’re doing with LibreOffice, check out the Call for Papers," says Mike Saunders, Marketing Assistant, The Document Foundation. "There are many different topics and “tracks” in the program, so whether you want to talk about development, QA, marketing, outreach, migrations or something else, submit your idea."
LibreOffice 6.0 will be a massive update of the office suite, introducing new branding and a lot of exciting new features, among which we can mention an automatic updater for GNU/Linux operating systems, though it won't work if you install LibreOffice from the repositories of your favorite Linux distro. Until then, you can register for LibreOffice Conference 2017 on the official website.
