LibreOffice project and community recap: July 2023
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 July by welcoming Michael Weghorn to The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice. Michael is a developer and will initially focus on accessibility improvements.
- Talking of the TDF team: in June, team members met in Munich to discuss ideas and proposals for the community and software. They worked on lots of topics – and now we’ve uploaded the report of the meeting. Check it out and let us know what you think!
- More news from the foundation: the Membership Committee (MC), which is responsible for managing membership applications and renewals, announced a new membership management system called Proteus.
- Meanwhile, our documentation and localisation communities did some great work: they updated the Getting Started Guide to LibreOffice 7.5, and finished a Czech translation of the LibreOffice Draw Guide 7.4. Awesome!
- We had one release in July, LibreOffice 7.5.5. This is the fifth maintenance release of the LibreOffice 7.5 branch, and all users are recommended to get the update.
- And finally: our Extensions and Templates website received a bunch of improvements, thanks to TDF’s new Web Developer, Juan José González (aka “JJ”).
