[libreoffice-marketing] Draft Conference PR

Hello,

I am unfortunately in a rush already, travelling through Germany for TDF 
and LibreOffice, so this comes in rather late. I plan to send it out 
within the next hours if there are no objections, the latest then by 
tomorrow. So, feedback is welcome! ;)

Document Foundation in February, we are proud to also have the 
LibreOffice Conference come to Berlin. This is a major event, not only 
for those involved in the project, but also for the everyone interested
