Brief items
The Document Foundation has joined the Organisation for the Advancement of
Standards in Information Society (OASIS) consortium. " The Document Foundation will primarily focus on the ODF Technical Committees, to represent the largest independent free software community focused on the development and the promotion of "the best free office suite" based on the Open Document Format. LibreOffice is available in over 100 native language versions, more than twice than any comparable software, and is therefore the most sophisticated, feature rich, complete and widespread ODF implementation worldwide."

Calls for Presentations
ConFoo 2013 will take place February 25-March 1 in Montreal, Canada. The
call for speakers closes September 23. " The call for papers is public, meaning that all proposals get published on the website for others to vote and comment on. This approach allows the organizers to pick subjects that have most interest in the community. The comments are only visible to speakers and organizers to avoid influencing the votes."
