Month: June 2025

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 May with a new Month of LibreOffice campaign! This is something we do every six months, to say thank you to contributors and encourage more people to join our project. We’ll post the final results here very soon…

• Throughout the month, we posted many sections from the 2024 Annual Report of The Document Foundation, the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice, including documentation, quality assurance, native language projects, marketing activities and websites, blogs and social media.

• Next, we reported back from the LibreOffice Community at FLISOL Brasilia 2025.

• This year’s LibreOffice Conference will take place in Budapest from 4 – 6 September, and the call for papers is now open. Submit a talk, and we hope to seeing you there!

• On May 8, we announced LibreOffice 24.8.7, the seventh and last minor release of the LibreOffice 24.8 family. After this, all users are strongly recommended to upgrade to the LibreOffice 25.2 branch.

• On Fridays during May, we posted about ODF – the Open Document Format, as used by LibreOffice and many other apps. We started with an ODF 20th anniversary video, followed by a detailed look at what exactly ODF is, why it’s important and how it compares to proprietary formats.

• Half-way through May, we announced the projects selected for LibreOffice in the Google Summer of Code 2025. We’re looking forward to seeing the results!
