SUMMARY:LPI Media Partner of the Latin American LibreOffice Congress 2026
DESCRIPTION:November 27-28\, 2026\nUniversidad Luterana Salvadoreña\, San Salvador\, El Salvador\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to be Media Partner of the 7th Congreso Latinoamericano de LibreOffice\, the annual gathering of the LibreOffice community across Latin America\, held for the first time in El Salvador on November 27 and 28\, 2026. \nAbout the Congress\nThe seventh edition is organized by the Universidad Luterana Salvadoreña together with the Latin American community of the LibreOffice Project. The program brings together talks\, workshops\, tutorials on the LibreOffice applications\, and mentoring on how to contribute to the project and help the community grow\, with speakers from El Salvador\, Mexico\, Spain\, Brazil and France. \nThe event is open to the public and expects around 400 participants. \n20% Discount on LPI Certifications\nParticipants in the Congreso Latinoamericano de LibreOffice 2026 receive a 20% discount on one LPI certification exam\, shared by the organizers. \nFor a community built on contribution rather than credentials\, the discount is not a change of direction: it is a way to make the skills already in use visible to employers\, in a form recognized worldwide and tied to no vendor. \nFocus and Audience\nThe Congress gathers open source IT professionals\, teachers and professors\, students and recent graduates\, and open source enthusiasts from across Latin America. \nHosting the seventh edition in El Salvador for the first time matters in itself. A regional community conference that moves between countries carries knowledge\, contacts and confidence into places that rarely host events of this kind\, which is exactly the ground LPI wants to support. \nLPI as Media Partner\nLibreOffice is one of the clearest demonstrations of what free software delivers in daily use: a complete\, open document suite that belongs to its community rather than to a vendor. The skills around it\, the Linux systems it runs on\, the infrastructure that serves it\, the practices that keep documents open and portable\, are the skills LPI exists to validate. \nSupporting this Congress is also support for digital sovereignty in Latin America\, and for the people who make it practical rather than theoretical. \nLinks\n\nEvent website: 7° Congreso Latinoamericano de LibreOffice\nLibreOffice: the LibreOffice website\nLPI certifications: the LPI certification catalog
