LibreOffice project and community recap: November 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 kicked off November with the Month of LibreOffice, November 2023, a campaign we run every six months. The results will be announced on this blog very soon 😊
- Next up was the release of LibreOffice 7.5.8, a maintenance release for the 7.5 branch with compatibility improvements and bug fixes.
- Our documentation community released Impress and Draw guides for LibreOffice 7.6. They’re well worth reading, if you use the presentation and diagram parts of the suite. Big thanks to everyone who contributed!
- What is The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice? We posted a video from our recent conference, where the Membership Committee explains all. Later in the month, we also posted a video from the Engineering Steering Committee about their work.
- Then we talked to Jean-Francois Nifenecker who’s working on LibreOffice extensions and macros, and more…
- LibreOffice is free (as in freedom) software. And our friends at the Free Software Foundation Europe handed over an Open Letter “The right to install any software on any device” to the German parliament, to support sustainability and freedom in electronic products in the EU.
- Looking for a job? Join the LibreOffice Team as a Paid Developer focusing on RTL/CTL/CJK languages, full-time, remote (m/f/d)!
- Our Latin American community reported back from the LibreOffice Latin American Conference 2023, which took place in Mexico City.
- Finally, we announced LibreOffice 7.6.3 along with more good news: the LibreOffice Viewer app for Android is now back in the Google Play Store. You can help us to test and improve it – especially the experimental editing support.
