How LibreOffice and TDF are helping other open source projects

2018-03-06

Free and open source software (FOSS) is all about sharing and working together. And while LibreOffice focuses on being the best open source office suite, our community also helps out with other related FOSS projects (just like many other projects help us!). We’ve made an infographic showing “upstream” contributions from LibreOffice developers and The Document Foundation – click to see a bigger version…

Your donations have helped us to achieve much of this – so a big thank you to everyone who has donated to our project and community!

LibreOffice contributor interview: Anxhelo Lushka

2018-03-04

This year’s LibreOffice Conference will take place in late September in Albania. One of the organisers is Anxhelo Lushka, a member of the Albanian LibreOffice community – we caught up with him at the last conference to talk about his experiences of building a community, how developers and designers can work together, and what we can look forward to in Tirana…

Bjoern Michaelsen has just announced the LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 on April 7th and 8th, which will be the first of The New Generation. Details about the LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 are kept on the TDF wiki page and will be continuously updated. If you are interested in joining the event please start adding your name there (especially if you are looking for TDF travel and accommodation sponsorship).

The German LibreOffice community will join the Hackfest in Hamburg, to discuss non-coding topics like localization, documentation, quality assurance and marketing in the German context. This represents a very good opportunity to meet those active in German-speaking countries, and plan and coordinate how to push the project, the product and the brand in the German context.

The LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 will be hosted by Freiheit Technologies.

Making Macro Programming a Breeze: The BASIC & API Reference Cards

2018-02-192018-02-23

Update: Reference card for runtime library is now available.

One of the recurring issue when using LibreOffice as a replacement of other office applications is the migration of macros to the LibreOffice BASIC dialect and objects. While the LibreOffice BASIC programming language is almost standard, the objects inside a document have different names, methods and properties, and a rework on the macro is necessary in most cases to make it operational again, when imported from other suites.

Last week, we have announced LibreOffice 6.0. Thanks to our incredible global community, we have been able to send press releases not only in English but also in other languages: Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese (Brasilian), Russian, Slovenian, Spanish and Traditional Chinese.

Below, the images of the first page of the PDF files you can download by clicking on the language name. I hope to be able to send next major announcement to more journalists in their native languages, to further improve the results we have obtained with the announcement of LibreOffice 6.0.
