Two Affiliate Events Later This Month

October in 2019 was packed with opportunities to catch up — in person — with many of our open source friends. This year is different, but there are still opportunities to learn, grow and even meet people. The only downsides? No long flights, no camping out in hotel lobbies waiting for your room to be ready and no jetlag. 
 
On October 15 – 17, you can join LibreOffice who are combining their annual conference this year with openSuse.

Check the conference website for the full schedule and detals on how to register.
