14 DAY TRIAL // While working on the next major LibreOffice release, The Document Foundation is also prepping for this year's LibreOffice Conference, which will take place this fall in Albania.
The LibreOffice Conference is the perfect opportunity for new and existing LibreOffice developers, users, supporters, and translators, as well as members of the Open Source community to meet up, share their knowledge, and plan the new features of the next major LibreOffice release, in this case LibreOffice 6.1, due in mid August 2018.
A call for papers was announced over the weekend as The Document Foundation wants you to submit proposals for topics and tracks, along with a short description of yourself for the upcoming LibreOffice Conference 2018 event, which should be filed no later than June 30, 2018. More details can be found here.
"The Document Foundation invites all members and contributors to submit talks, lectures and workshops for this year’s conference in Tirana (Albania)," said Italo Vignoli, Co-Founder, Marketing & PR at The Document Foundation. "Proposals should be filed by June 30, 2018, in order to guarantee that they will be considered for inclusion in the conference program."
LibreOffice Conference 2018 to take place in Tirana, Albania in late September
The Document Foundation decided to choose Tirana, Albania, as the host city and country for this year's LibreOffice Conference event, which is scheduled for late September, from Wednesday, September 26 to Friday, September 28, 2018. LibreOffice Conference 2018 promises three days full of workshops, hacking sessions, and talks on ideas on how to improve the open-source and cross-platform office suite.
As expected, LibreOffice 6.1 will be a major update of the open source office suite, introducing a revamped online experience, along with new features and improvements for Writer and Calc components. We'll have a more in-depth look at its new features in the coming months, but, until then, you'll soon be able to register for the LibreOffice Conference 2018 event on the official website.
