Join the Indian LibreOffice community!

Posted in Announcements, Community, LibreOffice By Mike Saunders On March 19, 2022

Across the globe, LibreOffice communities help to improve the software, translate the user interface, update documentation and spread the word. You can see a list of international projects on this page, and today we’re announcing communication channels for the Indian LibreOffice community!

Check them out – they’re bridged together, so you only need to join one to take part:

So, join in and let’s help to spread the word about LibreOffice – and grow the community – in India!

Of course, it’s a large and diverse country, so here are a few images that reflect its diversity…

    while LibreOffice may be good AND you guys want to show to the world about being secular, where is the secularism when you show ONLY islamic architecture in the first photo on this page (https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2022/03/19/join-the-indian-libreoffice-community/) AND later the Golden Temple among other secular images.
    If you are so secular why doesn’t the excellent Sanatani temples and architecture or Baudhadharma, or Jainadharma temples not show here???
    Looks like selective secularism….

      It looks like we are better at software than at history of architecture, which makes sense as we are a software project. We will write about the Indian community in the future, so please help us in making a better job in term of architectural icons.

      There is no indication so far that LibreOffice is working on a global conspiracy to ‘wipe out’ a certain ideology by promoting its software in India.

      It is simply a matter of some thing like: “The images displayed here may have politico-religious implications in context of diversity of culture and history of India. A review is required to make sure a uniform and positive message to all aspects of today’s Indian society/community”. blah blah blah…
