LibreOffice Conference Budapest 2025 Call for Papers
Join us in Budapest and tell us what you’re doing with LibreOffice!
The Document Foundation invites all members and contributors to submit talks, presentations and workshops for this year’s LibreOffice conference in Budapest at ELTE’s Faculty of Informatics, co-organized by FSF.hu Foundation. The event will take place from 4 to 6 September, with an informal community meeting on 3 September. Whether you are an experienced presenter or have never spoken in public before, if you have something interesting to say about LibreOffice, the Document Liberation Project, the Open Document Format or the ODF Toolkit, we want to hear from you!
Proposals should be submitted by 15 June 2025 to ensure they are considered for inclusion in the conference programme.
The conference programme will be based on the following tracks
a) Development, APIs, Extensions, Future Technology
b) Quality Assurance
c) Localisation, Documentation and Native Language Projects
d) Appealing LibreOffice: Usability, Design and Accessibility
e) Open Document Format, Document Liberation and Interoperability
f) Advocacy, promotion and marketing of LibreOffice
Presentations, case studies, workshops and technical talks will cover a topic in depth and last 30 minutes (including Q&A). Lightning talks will cover a specific topic and last 5 minutes (including Q&A). Sessions will be streamed live and recorded for download.
Please submit your proposal – including a short description of contents and a short biography of yourself – to https://events.documentfoundation.org/. If you would like to give more than one talk, please submit a separate proposal for each one. Only software based on the LibreOffice Technology platform will be allowed on stage, while slide decks will be shared using the ISO standard ODP and PDF file formats.
If you need a VISA, please contact the organising team at conference@libreoffice.org as soon as possible to receive an invitation letter.
If you are unable to travel to Hungary and prefer to present remotely, please include a note in your proposal to allow the organisers to schedule your presentation (and organise a test session beforehand).
