The annual LibreOffice conference will be held in Berlin this year. The organizer team expect a lot of proposals for talks and workshops for this event. Thus I looked around for a tool to manage this proposals with a team and make a interesting conference program out of them, but I couldn't find a tool that is adapted to our needs and easy to handle. I found in the last week an example of such a conference tool, created as an add-on for Plone. I tried this example out and started to migrate it to an full usable version. I had to rewrite some parts of the add-on and get it to work with a different structure. I have created the following "objects" now:

• a speaker or a leader of a workshop with space for some information about himself;
• the program folder (contains some tracks, it has a title and a summary and not mandatory a longer description);
• track (contains information about his topic);
• talk (with a speaker and title and description);
• workshop (with a leader and title and description).

I will continue work on that and look for some feadback from the vibrant LibreOffice community.
