The project is signed by the Umbria Region, Consortium SIR Umbria (the association of local authorities for the Regional Information System), Perugia Local Health Authority (ASL1), the two Provinces of Perugia and Terni, and the School of Public Administration “Villa Umbra”. LibreUmbria project started in October 2012. In May 2014 over 2000 users, on a total of 5000, have been involved. The community is growing and it is the point of reference for several migrations in Italy, when others municipalities and provinces chose LibreOffice.

The project is also landed in some schools of Umbria (LibreUmbria@Scuola): educators and parents are trained about LibreOffice, Ubuntu and Open Source Software. LibreUmbria focus attention on how to simplify the phase of formation through an e-learning platform, using video, text and SCORM object.

LibreUmbria, an Update on the Green Migration
Migrating from MS Office to LibreOffice : The Italian Public Administrations [Migration]
Marina Latini (LibreOffice division, Studio Storti Srl)
Nowadays talk about Open Source in Public Administrations (PA) is no longer a taboo and Italy begins to have important laws about this: from 2005, with CAD (Digital Administration Code), the Italian Public Administrations are approaching to Free & Open Source Software. The last version of CAD require PA to compare proprietary software with open source, evaluating economical and technical differences. A PA must prefer the open solution to the closed one. Only in some (and quite evident) conditions can chose the proprietary solution.
The migration process needs to be clear, detailed and structured, like an algorithm. The customer need to be followed in every step of the migration process. Some key points observed during our experiences are the fundamental role of communication, the crucial role of training and the awareness that there aren't bad users but only worried users that don't want to subvert their jobs.

This scattering, difficult the standardization of procedures, job routines, documentation, etc. Unsuccessful, isolated initiatives of two units for the OpenOffice adoption, starting in 2003, Instituto de Artes São Paulo decided by replace of MS Office for LibreOffice/OpenOffice. In 2005, Campus Litoral Paulista decided to do the same. Finally, in 2007, Faculdade de Engenharia, UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista, campus Ilha Solteira plans complete migration of Operational System of the desktops to GNU/Linux, but the first step is replace MS Office, Internet Explorer and Outlook by LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird.

An Upcoming Issue in Feasability Evaluations for a Migration to LibreOffice: Security [Migration]
Lothar K. Becker (Managing Director of .riess applications)
Since Snowden, but more since "heartbleed", the subject of security for professional deployments in administration and economy plays a much more significant role in the migration advice to LibreOffice. The talk draws on the basis of customer consulting projects on the topic and include the relevant safety requirements in connection with LibreOffice on. They range from specific functional requirements, to general requirements for the software in their creation and operation. This formulation is not only at the technical level, it affects and challanges the entire eco-system. Furthermore, relevant responses from LibO be named to these safety needs. As this topic seems to be a new more political argument for the rejection of migrations to free office suites it is less technically argued but shown, why it works well for the evaluation, to provide the right answers here.

What's cooking in GNOME - 3.12 under the hood [Migration]
Tobias Mueller (Student)
With the GNOME 3.14 release in October many visible improvements were delivered to users around the world. While many people already excitedly use GNOME 3 with the new user experience, some feature of the new and elegant desktop like distraction-free notifications or redesigned system settings are not yet wildly known. We also did many things on the plumbing layer such as allowing GNOME to run Wayland. The talk will introduce to some of the design philosophies inherent in GNOME 3 as well as the main changes brought to users and developers. Also, since GNOME 3.14 is another step of a long lasting incrementally improved user experience, the future of GNOME's development will be speculated on.
