To our Community, dear users and loyal friends:
It’s been nearly three months since The Document Foundation began to breathe, and it is no secret I convey when I say that these months have been the most challenging, but also the most exciting and most fascinating moments in the life of our free office suite. In just a short period of time, something very big has grown out of an idea’s small seed, and all of you are a part of it and contributed so much to its success.…
LibreOffice will have a stand at FOSDEM! See http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/steering-discuss/msg00329.html

Next Monday, December 20th, the Call for Papers for our FOSDEM DevRoom ends. So be fast and send in your papers soon. 🙂

…The next in the series of our interviews with LibreOffice contributors features Miklos, who was one of our successful Google Summer of Code 2010 student. He worked on rewriting and improving the RTF export filter and now he agreed to take the risk to answer our questions.

Programming is about people: so please ! tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi, I’m Miklos Vajna, you can usually find me as vmiklos on the Freenode IRC network. I’m Hungarian, and I love this country a lot – I live here in Hungary since I born. I live at Budapest, the capital of Hungary – where this year’s OOoCon2010 was organized. I’m a Christian, right now I’m completing an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Occasionally I blog here about what I’m currently involved in.
Any chance you can remember what was your very first program ?
I think it was a simple problem solver for some math homework we got in late elementary school. It was on DOS 6.22 in BASIC, if I recall correctly.
