Join the first Bug Hunting Session for LibreOffice 7.0!
LibreOffice 7.0 is being developed by our worldwide community, and is due to be released in early August 2020 – see the release notes describing the new features here. Of course, there’s still a lot more development to come, so more features will be added to that page in the coming months!
In order to find, report and triage bugs, the LibreOffice QA team is organizing the first Bug Hunting Session for LibreOffice 7.0 on Monday May 11, 2020. Tests will be performed on the first Alpha version, which will be available on the pre-releases server a few days before the event. Builds will be available for Linux (DEB and RPM), macOS and Windows, and can be installed and run in parallel along with the production version.
Mentors will be available from 07:00 UTC to 19:00 UTC for questions or help in the IRC channel #libreoffice-qa and the Telegram QA Channel. Of course, hunting bugs will be possible also on other days, as the builds of this particular Alpha release (LibreOffice 7.0.0 Alpha1) will be available until end of May. Check the Release Plan.
During the day there will be a dedicated session to test the ongoing work in the SKIA Graphics Engine integration from 14:00 and 16:00 UTC.
All details of the first bug hunting session are available on the wiki. LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven community project, so please help us to test – we appreciate it!
I wanna participate in this project
Will share on my blog and on the fediverse.
Installing version 6 took time. When trying to use it, it just doesn’t open. Bad experience. It’s very expensive for free! The uninstallation is so much more absurd than the installation.
Hi Mauro, as you didn’t say what operating system you’re using, it’s hard to identify what the problem is! Tens of millions of people around the world use LibreOffice every day, on Linux, macOS and Windows. If you need help, you can ask on our community assistance website here: https://ask.libreoffice.org
