LibreOffice Hackfest in Munich
Together with their Linux migration team (LiMux), we’re planning a LibreOffice Hackfest in the City of Munich, Germany. To determine the best date for it, let us know all your possible dates! Like last time, the Hackfest is open for newbies as well as for routined hackers. More details will follow soon, but first, we need the date. So, let’s vote!

NOTE: The Hackfest will run from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime. For the ease of voting, we have just mentioned the respective Saturday.
LibreOffice accepted for Google Summer of Code

All our project ideas with mentors are in the wiki and we are eager to encourage students to sign up for a summer of fun, working with our mentors to make LibreOffice even better.

The Document Foundation, LibreOffice and OOXML
If you thought we were all back to sleep after the release of LibreOffice 3.3, think again! The Steering Committee is at work and today we wanted to publish our opinion on a touchy subject, the support of OOXML in LibreOffice. LibreOffice offers the ability to export documents in the Microsoft Office formats, and these include the ones of MS Office 2007 and 2010. You can actually deactivate that feature if you don’t like it.

Ubuntu 11.04 will ship LibreOffice instead of OOo
According to this posting, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-January/032298.html, Ubuntu 11.04 will ship LibreOffice instead of OOo. Several other distributions are rumored to at least ship LibreOffice by default. Great times ahead!
