LibreOffice at the Univention Summit 2023
Thorsten Behrens and Lothar Becker from the LibreOffice community attended the recent Univention Summit 2023 in Bremen, northern Germany. They had a stand with LibreOffice merchandise, talked to visitors and answered questions. Lothar summarised the event:
It was well attended. Many known contacts, as well as new visitors, came by the stand and informed themselves or asked about LibreOffice – but also its availability in app stores for all platforms. Other topics that we frequently addressed at the stand included LibreOffice Technology, i.e. subscription versions from ecosystem partners, and their integration, e.g. in document management systems, where we were also able to refer people to the Collabora stand. Overall, it was emphasised again and again that it is important to have the project present at such an event.
Thanks to Thorsten and Lothar for attending! We plan to attend many more events this year – keep an eye on this blog for updates!
I wish you had a program in LibreOffice that was equal to Microsoft Access. Not having this is keeping me from using LibreOffice for my self employed business.
It’s called LibreOffice Base.
LibreOffice Base is in my opinion not as intuitive as MS Access but a solid solution for personal and business databases. Especially for SMEs. Ten years ago I used it quite often but for the last decade I had no reason to use it. Therefore I can’t tell if there were significant improvements or not but I believe so. You can build a full system with customers, merchandise/goods, suppliers, projetcs and much more.
