LibreOffice project and community recap: December 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…

• We started by announcing the winners in the Month of LibreOffice, November 2022. Thanks to everyone who took part – and if you requested your stickers or extra merch, it’s on its way! (The post is quite slow at this time of year, so it may take a while longer.)

• Next, our Documentation team announced the Getting Started Guide 7.4 and Impress Guide 7.4. We recommend all LibreOffice users to grab the PDFs and keep them around, to learn more about the suite, and discover extra tips and tricks!

• We talked to 锁琨珑 (Kevin Suo) who’s doing great work improving LibreOffice and fixing bugs.

• Meanwhile, our Italian community reported back from the the LibreItalia Conference in Empoli. They had talks about the importance of free and open source software (FOSS) in education, and worked on localisation.

• Next up: here at The Document Foundation, we have two new Developer positions! They’re both remote, full-time, and with the first focusing initially on right-to-left (RTL) and complex text layout (CTL) languages, and the second on accessibility. If you know C++ and want to join our team, get in touch!

• Finally, we wished everyone in the community a happy new year – and want to say a huge thank you for everyone’s contributions in 2022. LibreOffice keeps going from strength to strength, thanks to your help 😊
