LibreOffice at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2026

Linux-Tage banner

The Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (English page) is a yearly event in Germany for fans of free and open source software. This year, the LibreOffice project was present, as Karl-Heinz Gruner describes:

LibreOffice had an information booth at the event. Stickers and flyers were very popular. An excerpt from their extensive video tutorials was shown, including a summary of the new features in the current version.

Many questions were answered and tips were provided across all components. Enthusiastic feedback demonstrated the broad user community. Suggestions for contributing and expanding the community, such as user documentation, should attract new members over time and strengthen the active community.

We plan to be at many more events this year, including the Augsburger Linux-Infotag 2026 in early May, so see you there – and keep an eye on this blog!

Coming up: Document Freedom Day in Noida, India

The Software Freedom Law Center of India writes:

Ever lost access to a file because the software stopped working? That’s what happens when your data is trapped in proprietary formats.

Proprietary formats give corporations the power to decide how and when you access your own data. Open Standards take that power back by keeping your documents accessible, portable, and free, no matter what software or company comes and goes.

This March 29, join us to celebrate Document Freedom Day 2026 – a global movement for the right of every individual and organisation to own and control their digital data, without lock-ins or restrictions. πŸ“„πŸ’ͺ

Join The Document Foundation and SFLC.in for an afternoon of community, conversation, and celebration! πŸŽ‰
