The final deadline is on Friday, July 22nd. Each proposal will be evaluated by a committee of community members, and speakers will be informed shortly thereafter.

Progress on the LibreOffice Conference
The LibreOffice Conference will take place in Paris, France, from October 12th to 15th. A lot of progress has been made in the last weeks. As Charles Schulz stated on the marketing mailing list, we’re right now compiling a program committee to review and accept papers, which also means a public Call for Papers can be expected soon. So, stay tuned, and save the date — looking forward to meeting you in Paris!
