Community Member Monday: Jessé Moreira

Posted in Community, LibreOffice, Marketing By Mike Saunders On August 9, 2021

Love LibreOffice too? Want to help us spread the word about it, and other free and open source software (FOSS) projects? Then we appreciate your help! Everyone can raise awareness about the importance of FOSS and open standards, like the OpenDocument Format, LibreOffice’s native format.

For instance, Jessé Moreira from the Brazilian Portuguese LibreOffice community has created a set of tutorial videos. Here’s what he has to say:

Hello! I am a high school math teacher. I love LibreOffice and make videos demonstrating educational software applications. I have a channel that talks about libreoffice in Portuguese on Odysee and YouTube.
I intend to continue promoting LibreOffice by recording videos and contributing to the incredible project. Greetings from Brazil!

Thanks, Jessé! We have more videos created by other community members too. Recently, we talked to Harald Berger from the German community about how he makes his tutorials. To anyone reading this who also wants to contribute videos in their language, drop us a line and let’s work together!

And one more thing: Jessé recently became a Member of The Document Foundation, the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice. This means that he can help to steer the project and vote for the Board of Directors, amongst other things. All LibreOffice contributors are welcome to become Members and help us to keep doing awesome things:

    Thanks for the trial software but I can’t find a function to search the text. I’m 100,000 words into a book over the last four weeks and just found out the only thing the “Navigator” will let me do is toggle inserted images. Can’t even toggle headings or chapter titles. Not much of a writer’s tool. I need something better than this.

      Hi Dennis, it’s not “trial” software but a fully free and open source office suite, made by a worldwide community, driven by volunteers. To search, go to Edit > Find in the menu.

        I figured it out. I just had a malfunction here. My bad. I’ll get the edits done.
