LibreOffice monthly recap: April 2019

Check out our regular summary of events and updates in the last month!

  • We reported back from the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2019, where the LibreOffice community had a stand with flyers, stickers and other goodies. We also held some talks about LibreOffice and The Document Foundation – it was great to meet so many passionate Free Software fans there!

Community Member Monday: Roman Kuznetsov

Today we’re chatting with Roman Kuznetsov, a Russian contributor to LibreOffice who helps out in QA and other areas:

Your nickname in the LibreOffice project is “Kompilainenn” – where did that come from?

Oh, it’s simple: one day I was trying to compile the Linux kernel for my old and slow PC. And I came up with my current nickname: Kompilainenn 😀

So tell us a bit about yourself – where you’re from, where you live, how to find you on social media, and what do you do in your spare time!

Coming up: The Month of LibreOffice, May 2019!

LibreOffice is made by hundreds of people around the world: volunteers working from home, certified developers who are part of our commercial ecosystem, and other supporters and users. Throughout the year, they add new features to the software, test them, and help us to make each release polished and reliable. We’re incredibly appreciative of their efforts!…
