A personal note on Christmas
To our Community, dear users and loyal friends:
It’s been nearly three months since The Document Foundation began to breathe, and it is no secret I convey when I say that these months have been the most challenging, but also the most exciting and most fascinating moments in the life of our free office suite. In just a short period of time, something very big has grown out of an idea’s small seed, and all of you are a part of it and contributed so much to its success.
Time passes by so soon and now the end of the year is at the doorsteps. As we are approaching the holiday season, I would personally like to take the opportunity of wishing you, your friends and families a blessed and merry Christmas, many peaceful and silent days with your beloved ones and people you care about, and a happy, healthy and successful New Year, that shall make you reach your goals and make your dreams come true.
I would like to thank you for being a part of the LibreOffice Community, for all the good and wonderful things you contribute — we are very much looking forward to working with you in 2011!
Merry Christmas!
Florian

Developer interview: Vajna Miklos
The next in the series of our interviews with LibreOffice contributors features Miklos, who was one of our successful Google Summer of Code 2010 student. He worked on rewriting and improving the RTF export filter and now he agreed to take the risk to answer our questions.
Vajna Miklos
Programming is about people: so please ! tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi, I’m Miklos Vajna, you can usually find me as vmiklos on the Freenode IRC network. I’m Hungarian, and I love this country a lot – I live here in Hungary since I born. I live at Budapest, the capital of Hungary – where this year’s OOoCon2010 was organized. I’m a Christian, right now I’m completing an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Occasionally I blog here about what I’m currently involved in.
Any chance you can remember what was your very first program ?
I think it was a simple problem solver for some math homework we got in late elementary school. It was on DOS 6.22 in BASIC, if I recall correctly.
