LibreOffice project and community recap: August 2022
Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more…
- LibreOffice 7.4 arrived, with a bunch of new features, performance boosts, and compatibility improvements! Huge thanks to all community members and ecosystem partners that worked on this release.
- And after announcing the new version, we followed social media, Reddit and other places to see what people were saying. The feedback was very positive! But of course, we’ll continue to maintain the LibreOffice 7.4 branch to fix issues that crop up – see the release plan here.
- Also in August: we posted an update on LibreOffice being a flagship project for social service at a university in Mexico. Students are doing awesome work on a LibreOffice magazine, along with translating the software. Thanks to all of them 😊
- And while we’re on the subject of Mexico, we chatted with Mauricio Baeza who’s developing a library in Python to help program macros more easy.
- Finally, the election process for a new Membership Committee at TDF is underway, and we’re having live Q&A sessions with the candidates. Two have already taken place, and one more is to come – keep an eye on this blog for video recordings very soon…
