The Document Foundation invites all members and contributors to submit talks, lectures and workshops for this year’s conference. The conference will be a hybrid event, both remote and in presence in Milan, Italy.

The event is scheduled for September, from September 28 (community day) to October 1st. Whether you are a seasoned presenter or have never spoken in public before, if you have something interesting to share about LibreOffice, the Document Liberation Project or the Open Document Format, we want to hear from you!

The conference program will be based on the following tracks:

a) Development, APIs, Extensions, Future Technology

c) Localization, Documentation and Native Language Projects
d) Appealing Libreoffice: Ease of Use, Design and Accessibility
e) Open Document Format, Document Liberation and Interoperability

Presentations, case studies, and technical talks will discuss a subject in depth and will last 30 minutes (including Q&A). Lightning talks will cover a specific topic and will last 5 minutes (including Q&A).

All sessions in Milan will be streamed live and recorded for download, but it will be possible to present from remote on Friday, September 30. Workshops will be possible only in presence, and should be agreed with organizers in order to schedule them in a specific room (which will be recorded but not streamed).
