Community Meetings at LibOCon

Posted in Community, Conference, Meetings By Florian Effenberger On June 28, 2012

As previously announced, the next LibreOffice Conference will take place from

October 17th to 19th
in Berlin, Germany

with the Call for Papers currently running (http://conference.libreoffice.org), and the final program to be announced in early September.

All three days of the conference are open for the general public. In addition, on

October 16th
i.e. one day before the official Conference

we will, in good tradition, host the so-called Community Meetings. While they are not per se private, they are – in comparison to the rest of the Conference – mainly targetted towards existing project members, and take place in form of meetings and workshops rather than lectures.

Currently planned are meetings for the following groups:

Board of Directors
Advisory Board
Membership Committee
Engineering Steering Committee
regional groups, like the German, French, Italian or Brazilian community
marketing
website
design and user experience
QA and localization
system administrator and infrastructure
certification

If you are part of any of those groups, committees or bodies, we strongly recommend planning your trip so you can attend on October 16th already. The Community Meetings serve the purpose to meet your fellow colleagues and friends, discuss the successes of the last twelve months, and plan the achievements of the next year.

Looking forward to seeing you in Berlin!
