The first annual LibreOffice project's meeting, the LibreOffice Conference, will be held in Paris from October 12th to 15th. It will be an interesting event for those interested in the development of free office productivity software, open standards, and the OpenDocument format generally, and is an exciting opportunity to meet LibreOffice Community members, developers and hackers.

Papers for the ODF MasterClass track can be submitted as of now. This MasterClass aims to be the place for broader, higher level discussions on the ODF adoption, standardization and implementations. Therefore, ODF implementations other than LibreOffice are of course warmly welcome.
