Berlin, September 20, 2013 - The Document Foundation (TDF) announces
that Studio Storti is now a member of its Advisory Board. Studio Storti
is the largest provider of open source solutions to the Italian Public
Administration, and is launching a LibreOffice Division to support
migrations from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice.

"We have been active in the open source environment since 1997,
providing added value solutions focused on the needs of the Italian
Public Administration. During the last three years, we have seen a
growing demand for support of migrations to LibreOffice, and we have
then decided to invest in this area by launching a LibreOffice
Division", says Paolo Storti, CEO of Studio Storti. "We want to leverage
the conference in Milan, where we can meet the core of the community, to
strengthen the connection with developers and other key stakeholders in
the LibreOffice project".

"Studio Storti will bring to TDF Advisory Board over 15 years of
experience in migrating the Italian Public Administration to open source
solutions", says Italo Vignoli, Member of TDF Board of Directors. "The
announcement is extremely important for the entire ecosystem, because it
shows that TDF vision of an independent project can foster the growth of
third parties investing in LibreOffice. In Italy, it will be a game
changer".

TDF Advisory Board has grown to 14 members, with six new additions in
the first nine months of 2013 - AMD, CloudOn, Collabora, KACST (King
Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology), MIMO (French Ministries) and
Studio Storti - who have joined the former members: FRODEV (Freies
Office Deutschland e.V.), FSF (Free Software Foundation), Google, Intel,
Lanedo, RedHat, SPI (Software in the Public Interest) and SUSE.
