Paris, September 19, 2011 - The Document Foundation announces the program of the first LibreOffice Conference, which will gather over 200 people - members of the project and free software advocates - in Paris from October 13 to October 15, 2011. The conference - which will be held in two locations: La Cantine de Silicon Sentier and the IRILL (Institut de Recherche du Logiciel Libre, or free software research institute) - is sponsored by: Cap Digital, IRILL and Région Île-de-France (Premium Sponsors); Canonical, Google, La Mouette, Novell/SUSE and RedHat (Gold Sponsors); AF83, Ars Aperta and Lanedo (Silver Sponsors).

On October 12, La Cantine will be open in the afternoon for registration and for a meeting of TDF Steering Committee, followed by a public Q&A session open to members of The Document Foundation and conference attendees. In the evening at 7 pm, Cap Digital will organize a welcome cocktail at their headquarters near the Bastille. On October 13, the conference will start with a welcome address from the region authorities and the organizing committee, followed by TDF keynote speech summarizing the project achievements during the first year: development, infrastructure, community and marketing. The following presentations will be split into four different tracks, focused - again - on development, community, marketing and ODF, plus a technical "bird-of-feather" session. The program is available at http://conference.libreoffice.org/programme. The conference will continue in the evenings with get-together events, where the international community will have the opportunity to meet and mingle: on October 13 at 7 pm, there will be the Île-de-France Region special evening, with several keynotes and announcements; while on October 14 at 7 pm, there will be the AF83 Beer & Music evening.
