Online events in the LibreOffice Hispanic community

Everyone loves to meet in person, share ideas, work on the software and have a good time. Of course, “real life” meetings have been difficult in the last few months, so many communities in the LibreOffice project have chosen to go online. Daniel A. Rodriguez gives us an update:

Yesterday, the Hispanic community of LibreOffice celebrated the second of a series of online events that was broadcast live on YouTube. The activity started at 17:00 UTC and lasted about 3 and a half hours. The virtual assistants benefited from the presence of several members recognized for their participation and collaboration in the project:

• Xiomara Céspedes, from Costa Rica, provided an overview of the use of styles.

• Carlos Parra Saldivar from Cuba spoke about the Migration Protocol.

• Adolfo Jaime Barrientos, from Mexico, about the translation and localisation work of LibreOffice.

• Ismael Fanlo, from Spain, presented conditional formatting.

• Francisco Ruedas and Antonio Caba, also from Spain, presented the work of office tool migration in the Junta de Andalucía.

• Roberto Guidek, from Argentina, informed us about the use of a Calc solver for linear programming in the Faculty of Economics of the National University of Misiones.

• While I, Daniel A. Rodriguez, gave a tour of the possibilities of collaboration presented by the project.

This was, of course, an open event – free of charge and aimed at anyone interested in the FOSS office suite par excellence. Also, we thank our friend Servio from the Latin Community of Free Technologies, who managed the live transmission through YouTube.
