OpenOffice.org publishes the Programme for its Annual Conference

The annual OpenOffice.org Conference will be held in Lyon, France from September 11th-13th. The organising committe has now completed the difficult task of selecting the best of the proposals for papers, and the provisional Conference Programme is now on-line at http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/schedule.html.

Conference highlights include keynote speakers from Novell and Google, and a panel discussion with speakers from IBM, Ars Aperta and Sun Microsystems. Over the three days, the conference streams cover topics of interest to developers and users, newcomers and veterans alike. There will be a particular focus on this year on OpenOffice.org and Open Document Format (ODF), following ODF's ratification as the international standard for office documents (ISO 26300).

The organisers have not forgotten the social side, making the most of the location in Lyon, the gastronomical heart of France. Last year's conference achieved rave reviews from attenders both for the conference content and the superb atmosphere - the organisers aim to raise the standard again this year.

It is still possible to register for attendance at the Conference. To register, please go to http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/registration.html

The OpenOffice.org Conference Team look forward to meeting you in Lyon!
