LibreOffice Conference 2014 in Bern, Switzerland, from September 2 to
September 5, 2014

Berlin, February 13, 2014 - The Document Foundation (TDF) announces that
the LibreOffice Conference 2014 will be jointly organized by the Swiss
Open Systems User Group (CH Open, http://www.ch-open.ch) and the
Research Center for Digital Sustainability of the Institute of
Information Systems at the University of Bern
(http://www.iwi.unibe.ch/content/index_eng.html), and hosted by the
University of Bern, from September 3 to September 5, 2014.

In addition, on September 2 the LibreOffice community will gather for
several face-to-face meetings: Board of Directors, Engineering Steering
Committee, and Certification Committee. During the conference week, TDF
will also organize the first certification training session for
migration and training candidates.

Bern is the federal city of Switzerland and the seat of the parliament,
government and administration of the Swiss Confederation, the Canton of
Bern and the City of Bern. The old city is a UNESCO world heritage site
since 1982.

"Holding the LibreOffice Conference in the city of Bern will definitely
improve the awareness of Open Source software in Switzerland, and
hopefully trigger the migration process in public administrations which
has already started in France, Germany and Italy", say Nicholas
Christener and Matthias Stürmer, leaders of the organization committee.
