Located in Umbria, in the heart of Italy, it's 100 km far from Rome and 140 km from Florence and easy to reach by plane, train and car.</p> <p>It is a center for courses leading to university degrees (Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering), post-graduate courses (Architecture, Health Psychology, Archaeology), as well as specialization courses of prestigious Italian universities.</p> <p>The plateau with its tufa cliff walls defines the area of the historical center of Orvieto â a stupendous palimpsest of Etruscan, Medieval and Renaissance structures. The city is known for its efficient congress facilities and a qualified service network for hospitality. Restaurants, wine and champagne bars and pubs offer a variety of the fine wines and foods for which Orvieto is famous. These features together with the intact environment, pleasant climate and a system of alternative mobility make the city ideal for meetings, seminars and study days of all kinds.</p> <p>Not by chance Orvieto, world capital of good living (âCittaslowâ), has hosted important national and international appointments: Slow Food World Congress, Hydrogencities foundation (with J. Rifkin) and it is site of prestigious cultural events during the year which include Umbria Jazz Winter, Barzini Award for the special correspondent (in collaboration with the Corriere della Sera), the International Award for Human Rights, outstanding Art exhibits, Conventions and post-graduate studies of American universities.</p> <p>The political-administrative context is particularly favorable for the diffusion of open source culture. Umbria â the region in which Orvieto is located â was one of the first Italian regions to approve a law on âinformatics pluralismâ and to have instituted (L.R. n. 11 of 2006) a Center of Competence on Open Source that works to favor the introduction of open source software in the Public Administration and in the schools. This year 80 projects will be financed, 60 of which plan for the introduction of OpenOffice.org in the local institutions, 4 are projects from Orvieto.</p> <p>The Municipal Administration totally supports the candidature of Orvieto as an OOoCon2008 center, already translated into precise commitments for logistic and organizational collaboration.</p> <p>We would like to introduce some changes with the OOoCon2008. The most important is to hold an Italian session, in parallel with the normal international ones, in order to attract more people from our country and promote the OOo adoption.</p> <hr /> <h2>Mandatory Information</h2> <h3>Location (country, city, conference center/university)</h3> <p>Two structures are at disposal for the organization: The Palazzo del Popolo Conference Centre and the Palazzo dei Sette. They are both located in the heart of the city, within walking distance from the main hotels.
