Studio Storti joins The Document Foundation Advisory Board to Complement the Launch of the
LibreOffice Division

Berlin, September 19, 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.
