German LibreOffice community meeting, March 2023 in Essen

Members sitting at a table

LibreOffice is developed by a worldwide community, and many members of this community live in German-speaking countries. From 24 to 26 March, some of them met at the Linuxhotel in Essen. There was an informal meeting on Friday evening, while the main discussions started on Saturday. The topics included:

  • Further development of the Base database module
  • LibreOffice community at free software events
  • Flyers and donations
  • UX improvement possibilities
  • Status of the German LibreOffice project
