LibreOffice monthly recap: April 2019
Check out our regular summary of events and updates in the last month!
- We reported back from the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2019, where the LibreOffice community had a stand with flyers, stickers and other goodies. We also held some talks about LibreOffice and The Document Foundation – it was great to meet so many passionate Free Software fans there!
- In other event-related news, we announced the first Latin America LibreOffice Conference. This will be held at the Facultad Politécnica de Universidad Nactional de Assunción (FPUNA) in Asunción, Paraguay on July 19 (Friday) and 20 (Sat).
- On April 8, we had a chat with Biraj Karmakar from the Indian community. Biraj helps out with translations and QA (quality assurance) – so if you’re reading this, are based in India and want to join our project, let us know and we can put you in touch with the community there!
- Throughout the month, we organised two C++ workshops, to explore features in the language (with the help of experienced developers). The first focused on linked lists, while the second also looked at stack classes, PQs and heaps.
- On April 18, LibreOffice 6.2.3 was released with over 90 bug and regression fixes. A big thanks to our worldwide community and certified developers for making the release possible!
- In another Community Member Monday interview, we Roman Kuznetsov from Russia told us about his experiences joining the project. “I got valuable experience communicating with a worldwide community, along with some practice in English, working in Bugzilla and making good bug reports”, he said.
- Finally, we geared up preparations for a new Month of LibreOffice! This time, along with sticker packs for all contributions, we’ll also give out 10 awesome LibreOffice mugs to randomly selected participants at the end of the month. But how can you take part? Well, just check this blog tomorrow for all the details!
