The LibreOffice Conference 2023 begins!
Yes, it has started! Check out the conference website for live streams and more information – and a big thanks to the organisers, sponsors and supporters.
Here’s to a great event 😊
1.5 million downloads of LibreOffice 7.6!
Two weeks ago, we released LibreOffice 7.6, our new major version of the office suite. And so far we’ve had 1,587,383 downloads from our site! (So that doesn’t include Linux distributions that package it themselves.) We hope all users are enjoying it, and the many new features.
Some more stats: 31,519 impressions of the announcement tweet, with 690 likes and 231 reposts. Our Mastodon post had 293 likes and 272 reposts, while the New Features video on YouTube has had 17,339 views. (It’s also on PeerTube as well.)
Many thanks to our worldwide community of volunteers, and certified developers, for all their work on this release!

The Document Foundation releases LibreOffice 7.5.6 Community
Berlin, September 7, 2023 – LibreOffice 7.5.6 Community, the sixth minor release of the LibreOffice 7.5 line, the volunteer-supported free office suite for desktop productivity, is available from our download page for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel processors), and Linux [1].
Products based on LibreOffice Technology are available for major desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS), for mobile platforms (Android and iOS), and for the cloud.
For enterprise-class deployments, TDF strongly recommends the LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners – for desktop, mobile and cloud – with a large number of dedicated value-added features and other benefits such as SLA (Service Level Agreements).
Availability of LibreOffice 7.5.6 Community
LibreOffice 7.5.6 Community is available from this page. Minimum requirements for proprietary operating systems are Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and Apple macOS 10.14. LibreOffice Technology-based products for Android and iOS are listed here.
The Document Foundation does not provide technical support for users, although they can get it from volunteers on user mailing lists and the Ask LibreOffice website.
LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can support The Document Foundation with a donation.
New “LibreOffice Expert” magazines available for schools and communities
Recently, Linux New Media released an updated version of its “LibreOffice Expert” magazine, which contains tutorials, tips and tricks about LibreOffice. And some articles were contributed by members of the LibreOffice community! The magazines come with DVDs that include LibreOffice for Linux, Windows and macOS, alongside extra templates, extensions, videos and guidebooks.
We have some copies to give away, for schools, universities and local communities. Ideally, we’d like to get these magazines out to places where internet connections aren’t always available – so that the users can really benefit from the DVDs.
So, if you can help us to distribute these magazines, drop us a line! Please note that we can only send a maximum of five copies to any one place, to make sure many people get a chance. When you contact us, please include this information:
- What you want to do with the magazines
- How many you want
- The address to which we should post them
Include that information in an email to us and let’s see what we can do!
(Note: if you want to buy the magazine directly from the publisher, you can do so here.)
Big events coming up in the LibreOffice community!
