Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started May with the Month of LibreOffice! This is a campaign that we run twice a year, encouraging users to join our community and help to improve the software. Everyone can learn new things – and get some merchandise as thanks! Results will be announced here on the blog very soon… Also early in May, we announced LibreOffice 7.5.3 Community, the third minor update to the 7.3 branch. All users are recommended to upgrade. (We also announced LibreOffice 7.4.7, the last release of the 7.4 family.) LibreOffice’s YouTube channel went over the 3 million views mark. Great stuff! We’d like to say a special thanks to community members who’ve contributed great work, such as the Indonesian community for the “New Features” videos (major LibreOffice releases), and Harald B. in the German community for his tutorials. (Note that many of the videos are also available on PeerTube.) Our QA (Quality Assurance) community helps to identify and fix bugs in LibreOffice.

Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started the month noting Microsoft’s plans to raise the prices of its office software in Germany – and other services – significantly. And not just once, but every six months there are to be “price adjustments”. Of course, LibreOffice (and LibreOffice Technology-based products) comes to the rescue! Next up, we reported about our policy-related activities in the European Union. TDF is backing campaigns to support free and open source software (FOSS) in the EU – and raise awareness of problems with the “Cyber Resilience Act”, amongst others. Talking of FOSS, we looked at how free and open source software continues to grow, as shown by data provided by reports of analysts, and by declarations of users. Over 76% of IT managers have increased the use of open source software during 2022, while almost 22% have not changed the amount, and less than 2% have reduced it. Throughout the month, we posted sections from The Document Foundation’s Annual Report 2022. The full version will be online soon – but in the meantime, you can find out

In documentation news, the Czech community announced a translation of the LibreOffice Getting Started Guide 7.3. Many thanks to community members for all their work!

Check out our summary of what happened in the LibreOffice community last month… We started June by announcing the winners in the Month of LibreOffice, May 2021!
