Hi all,
I just wanted to give you an update on the conference for those of you
who might not have seen it. There is also the option for a mini summit
below. I'll send more information from our latest meeting once we work
out the details. If you want to help with the planning of the
conference, feel free to contact me.

Organizers of the openSUSE + LibreOffice Conference
<https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSLO> along with the project’s
boards have made the decision to change the conference to an online
conference.
The uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on
travel, conference planning, logistics and possibility for attendees to
come to the event were reasons for shifting the event from a physical
event to an online event.
Shifting the conference online is good news and the organizers intend to
provide a great conference that is filled with insightful talks,
technical presentations and sessions dedicated for those who want to
socialize during the event. Using video a conferencing tool, attendees
learn about new technologies in openSUSE and LibreOffice and have the
chance to chat to developers and ask questions. Communities involved in
marketing, design, QA and other topics will be able to meet online,
catch up and exchange ideas.
The Call for Papers (CfP) will remain open and people can continue to
submit their talks until July 21. The submissions for the CfP will
continue to take place on the Open Source Event Manager (OSEM) instance
at
https://events.opensuse.org. The collection of submissions will be
organized in the OSEM tool, but the online event will take place on a
different website site like the one recently used for the openSUSE
Virtual Summit –
https://opensuse.reqmagic.com. The platform works with
Firefox, Chromium and other open-source browsers. The software leverages
various APIs (YouTube, Dolby, etc) to enable web based service, which is
entirely HTML5 based with no plugins required.
