On Friday, 30 May 2008, FreeSMUG.org will be hosting an event in Milano, Italy. At that event, the developers of NeoOffice - Patrick Luby and Ed Peterlin - will give informal presentations and host discussion sessions on NeoOffice’s future plans and other topics of interest to NeoOffice users.

The goal of NeoOffice is to provide an entirely free and complete Mac OS X office suite based on the international OpenOffice.org project—only with the look-and-feel you’d expect from any Macintosh application.

The OpenOffice.org project is a large open-source effort to create the ultimate office “suite” including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing software, database, and much more. With OpenOffice.org, you can easily import, edit, and exchange files with users of other office programs, such as Microsoft Office or WordPerfect.
