Come and give a talk at the upcoming LibreOffice Conference 2024 which will take place from October 10 – 12 in Luxembourg!
Our Call for Papers is open, and we are extending the submission deadline until August 31. But note: only speakers who submit before August 15 will get a hotel room provided by The Document Foundation. After that, we can’t be sure that rooms will be available. So if you want to give a talk, let us know ASAP!
The LibreOffice Asia Conference 2024 starts tomorrow in Taipei! First was the pre-party, and then the event begins…
(This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2023 – we’ll post the full version here soon.)
This was our second in-person conference after the COVID pandemic, following on from the Milan conference in 2022, but we also lived-streamed sessions and made recordings so that participants could watch remotely (and ask questions in our chat channels too).
The conference took place from September 20 – 23, at the Universitatea Națională de Știință și Tehnologie Politehnica București – Facultatea de Automatică și Calculatoare – PRECIS. The organisers produced a very handy “Essential guide to Bucharest” with information on transportation in the city, exchanging money, and joining the social events.
Following the opening session, presentations and talks were given across various “tracks”, or categories: Development, Advocacy, Open Document Format, Quality Assurance, Localisation and Business. There were highly technical talks focused on specific areas of the software and source code, along with more open discussions about community building and recent updates from The Document Foundation.
In addition to the talks, there was also a community dinner at Hanu’ lui Manuc, a restaurant with outdoor seating that served traditional Romanian food, accompanied by live folk music and dancing. There was also a hackfest where developers could work together on the codebase while sharing pizza.
A workshop for new developers was held in parallel with the main tracks over the three days of the conference, and many different things around LibreOffice development were discussed, including: effective communication in free and open source projects; bug reporting and triaging; building LibreOffice from its source code; and using Gerrit for code reviews.
The event was sponsored by Collabora, allotropia, dveloper.io and 1&1, with support from itgenetics, rosedu, Tech Lounge, Web.de, GMX and Mail.com Thanks to the sponsors, attendees could get merchandise at the event, including T-shirts with the conference logo.
Full details about the event are available on the conference website. For a quick overview of all the talks, including links to PDF versions of the presentations, see the schedule. Videos from most of the talks are available as a playlist on our YouTube channel – or on PeerTube.

The photo clearly shows the Terres Rouges building, the large red building in the centre of the Belval University campus, which used to be the largest steelworks in Luxembourg and is home to the Digital Learning Hub, an initiative of the Ministry of National Education, Childhood and Youth of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
