Organizers of the online openSUSE + LibreOffice Conference are pleased to announce that the schedule for the conference is published.

All times on the schedule are published in Coordinated Universal Time. The conference will take place from live Oct. 15 to Oct. 17 using the oslo.gonogo.live platform.

There will be multiple sessions happening at the same time, so some talks might overlap. Attendees have an option to personalize a schedule so that they are reminded when the live talk they would like to see begins. 

Live talks scheduled for the event will be either a 15 minute short talks, a 30 minute normal talks or a 60-minute work group/panel session. 

Attendees will be able to register on https://oslo.gonogo.live before the even, up until October 14. The platform is designed as a social conferencing tool. Users can put in profile information, share their location and interact with other members of the audience.
