Announcing the LibreOffice US community!

LibreOffice is made by hundreds of people around the world. In many countries, we have active communities that organise events, do local marketing, and help users in their local language.

But while we have many users and contributors in the United States of America, so far we haven’t built up an active local community. Of course, part of this is due to the size of the country – the US is huge, so getting people together isn’t easy.

Nonetheless, we want to try! There are many things we’d like to do in the US with LibreOffice, such as:

• Creating merchandise designs for events and giveaways
• Working on local marketing materials and advocacy projects
• Organising meetups to bring contributors and users together

To get things going, we’ve created some communication groups and a social media channel. Our Discord server has a few channels which are also bridged to Matrix, so join one of those and let’s start discussing ideas. We also have the LibreOfficeUS Mastodon account where we’ll be posting updates.

We look forward to seeing you there 😊
