Behind the scenes at TDF: LibreOffice QA (Halloween Bug Hunting)

robinson-in-brusselsLibreOffice QA has been busy during the last few months!

We had our first BugHunting Session for the upcoming LibreOffice 5.1 release over the Halloween weekend at the end of October. Testing our alpha1 builds, members of the QA Team helped to lead users, developers, and other community members in identifying and documenting problems in our very first binaries available for this release series.

Help us to squeeze out bugs!

For those interested in helping to squeeze out some bugs of LibreOffice, the community hosts monthly bug hunting sessions. The next one is tomorrow, September 6th. More details can be found at the respective wiki page.
