LibreOffice Conference 2023: Recap

Last month we had our yearly LibreOffice Conference, this time taking place in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. And it was a great event! We had over 100 participants in-person, with more joining online, watching the streams and sending in video presentations.

The conference took place in the Politehnica University campus, with talks divided into two rooms, and a separate workshop covering LibreOffice development running alongside the main tracks.

Before the main talks started, we had an informal Community Session to discuss various topics, including growing local communities, LibreOffice Liaisons, and Weblate improvements.

Then the main event started, with first an opening presentation by 1&1 Internet Development, one of the sponsors and organisers of the conference:
