The City of Munich joins The Document Foundation Advisory Board

Berlin, January 12, 2015 – The Document Foundation (TDF) announces that the city of Munich has joined TDF Advisory Board, where it will be represented by Florian Haftmann. Back in 2003, the city of Munich – the third largest in Germany – has launched Project LiMux to migrate their software systems from closed-source, proprietary products to free and open-source software. The project was successfully completed in late 2013, which involved migrating 16,000 personal computers and laptops of public employees to free and open-source software. The City of Munich has hosted a LibreOffice HackFest since 2011, to improve features targeted to enterprise environments. “The city of Munich is a healthy reference for every migration to free software, and as such will add a significant value to our Advisory Board, where it will seat side by side with MIMO, representing the migration to LibreOffice of French Ministries, and with other companies providing value added services on top of LibreOffice,” says Thorsten Behrens, Chairman of The Document Foundation. “Florian Haftmann will be introduced to other members of TDF Advisory Board during next planned meeting, on January 15, 2015.” TDF Advisory Board has 17 members: AMD, CIB Software, City of Munich, CloudOn, Collabora, FrODeV

Behind the scenes at TDF: Release Engineering

Towards the end of the year, The Document Foundation would like to share achievements in 2014 with our community and our generous donours, to whom we’d like to express our sincerest gratitude and thanks for their incredible and wonderful support and their invaluable contributions! Hi, I’m Christian Lohmaier and I’m Release Engineer as well as Infrastructure Administrator at The Document Foundation and have been with the project since it’s foundation. Also long before I was active in the predecessor project, where I filed my first bugreport more than 14 years ago (2000-10-23) and later was one of the founding members of the German native-lang project 🙂 In 2014 we redesigned our main user-facing website (www.libreoffice.org) – working with Eleonora Anzini (who created the design) to bring her vision to our CMS (Silverstripe) was one of the first big tasks this year, that already started in 2013 and after lots of tweaking of both the content (managed by Charles-H. Schulz) and the styles/the framework, the new design went live in March. Release-wise, the year started with 4.1.5 rc1 and 4.2.0 rc3 – only the first in a series of around 50 released builds (betas and release candidates) for QA and curious

Behind the scenes at TDF: L10N and NLP

Towards the end of the year, The Document Foundation would like to share achievements in 2014 with our community and our generous donours, to whom we’d like to express our sincerest gratitude and thanks for their incredible and wonderful support and their invaluable contributions! Sophie Gautier is in charge of our L10N and NLP projects at The Document Foundation, and gives you insight into this key part of our project: L10n – NLPs status quo I would like to give a brief overview of the many things that happened or are in the pipe either on the Localization project (L10n) or on the Native Language projects (NLPs). For the latter, it is not always easy to know what is going on locally, but we tend to get more and more feedback from these groups which is really great. So, on the Localization side, several new languages were added to Pootle these last months, more Indic languages, for example. Translating UI and Help is a very huge task, and when you think it is finished, there is still some work to do for the next version. For example, currently, the teams are in the starting blocks to translate the 4.4.x new
