Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more…
Note: this is one of two Developer positions currently available – the other focuses on accessibility
The Document Foundation (TDF) is the non-profit entity behind the world’s leading free and open-source office suite, LibreOffice. We are truly passionate about free software, the open source culture and about bringing new companies and people with fresh ideas into our community, especially in the second decade of our project. Look at what we did last year!
To improve features in LibreOffice, the office productivity suite for over 200 million users around the globe, we’re searching for a developer (m/f/d) to start work (from home) as soon as possible. The role includes:
The role requires the following:
Speaking and writing English is a mandatory requirement. Another language like German, Spanish or Arabic is a bonus.
A previously established relationship within the developer community, as well as with other teams such as QA is a plus, but it is not mandatory at the start and can be achieved during the work itself.
As always, TDF will give some preference to individuals who have previously shown a commitment to TDF, including but not limited to members of TDF. Not being a member does not exclude any applicants from consideration.
All jobs at The Document Foundation are remote jobs, where you can work from your home office or a co-working space. The work time during the day is flexible, apart from very few fixed meetings. The role is offered as full-time. Candidates that are resident in or willing to relocate to Germany will be employed directly by TDF. Otherwise, external payroll services will be used if available in the candidate’s country of residence.
Are you interested? Get in touch! We aim to schedule the first interview within two weeks of your application. You can also approach us any time for an informal chat, to learn about the role or in case of questions.
TDF welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age. Don’t be afraid to be different, and stay true to yourself. We like you that way!
We are looking forward to receiving your application, including information about you, when you are available for the job, and of course your financial expectations. Pointing to public repositories with your code is very helpful. Please send us an e-mail to developers@documentfoundation.org no later than February 10, 2023. If you haven’t received feedback by March 24, your application could not be considered.
Please note that there’s a holiday break from December 22 to January 9, so we might not reply to your email during that time – but we’ll follow-up as soon as possible. So if you want to apply, do so now!
Also note: we only accept applications from the applicant, and not from any intermediary.

Members and supporters of LibreItalia, the not for profit association that promotes the use of open source software and open formats, met on Saturday, December 10, in Empoli (near Florence) to discuss the adoption of these solutions – which ensure the independence of companies and users from multinational technology corporations, and guarantee the freedom and privacy of content – in public administrations, in order to comply with the dictate of the Digital Administration Code, one of the most ignored Italian laws ever.
The use of software and document formats that are not controlled by a single company, and that are not driven by its business strategies, is a prerequisite in the direction of the independence of a country – starting with individual citizens and ending with institutions – that is the basis of the so-called “digital sovereignty,” that is, self-sufficiency with respect to digital technologies controlled by Big Tech.
The 9th LibreItalia Conference, the first without the restrictions due to the pandemic, opened with welcome speeches by President Enio Gemmo and Gruppo Operativo Linux Empoli (GOLEM), followed by those of Flavia Marzano: FOSS in Public Administration, Professor Andreas Formiconi of the University of Florence: Importance of FOSS for Education, and Italo Vignoli on the political role of Associazione LibreItalia.
After the break for lunch, there were two talks by Marco Marega on the activities of the localization group and one by Gabriele Ponzo on how to contribute to the LibreOffice project, followed by the presentation of the migration protocol to LibreOffice, and a discussion session, with questions and answers.
