Announcing the Fourth Edition of the LibreOffice Latin America Conference
Latin America is a growing area for free and open source software.
The Latin American LibreOffice community announces the Fourth LibreOffice Latin America Congress, to be held at the Faculty of Engineering of the UNAM, Mexico City, on November 9th (Thursday) and 10th (Friday).
The congress brings together professionals, developers, academics and free software enthusiasts from all over Latin America. On this occasion we will have guests from Asia and Europe, to explore the progress, applications and perspectives of the LibreOffice project. There will be keynote talks, hands-on workshops and certification sessions with a wide range of topics, focusing on development, quality control, documentation and translation.
The activities and registration period will be communicated in the coming weeks through the event’s official website.
The members of the organizing team are Celia Palacios, Mauricio Baeza and Juan José Gonzalez from Mexico, Olivier Hallot (Documentation Team Coordinator), Gustavo Pacheco (Membership Committee member), both from Brazil, and Daniel Rodriguez from Argentina.
For the conference, they have proposed the logo above, based on the Quetzalcoatl and traditional Mexican colors.
TDF Team Meeting in Munich, June 2023
LibreOffice is made by a worldwide community, comprised of volunteers, certified developers, ecosystem companies and many other people. Coordinating the project is The Document Foundation, a small non-profit entity registered in Berlin, which has a team of 16 people (thanks to generous donations).
We mostly work online, but in June, most team members met in-person in Munich! We are (alphabetically by first name):
- Christian Lohmaier – Release Engineer
- Florian Effenberger – Executive Director
- Guilhem Moulin – Infrastructure & Services
- Heiko Tietze – UX Architect
- Hossein Nourikhah – Developer Community Architect
- Ilmari Laukahangas – Development Marketing
- Italo Vignoli – Marketing & PR
- Juan José González – Web Technology Engineer
- Khaled Hosny – Developer, prioritising complex text-layout tasks
- Michael Weghorn – Developer, prioritising accessibility tasks
- Mike Saunders – Marketing and Community Coordinator
- Olivier Hallot – Documentation Coordinator
- Sophie Gautier – Foundation Coordinator
- Stephan – Administrative Assistant
- Stéphane Guillou – QA Analyst
- Xisco Fauli – QA Engineer
Over four days, we discussed many topics, including: how we can grow the LibreOffice community; marketing the software; improving documentation; planning for Quality Assurance activities; localisation and liaisons; and updating the LibreOffice and TDF websites. We shared many ideas, came up with concrete action items, and are now working to get them done.
Of course, we’re just one part of the wider LibreOffice community. We always appreciate getting feedback and suggestions from other members of the project, so let us know what you’d like us to work on! And many thanks to everyone in the community for all your contributions and support 😊
