LibreOffice monthly recap: July 2018

There’s a lot going on in the LibreOffice community, in the lead up to LibreOffice 6.1, in development, documentation, design, QA, translations and much more. Here’s a summary of news and updates in July… Preparations for LibreOffice 6.1 continued, with the final Bug Hunting Session on July 6. Users around the world helped to test new features and report bugs so that they can be fixed before the final release – thanks to everyone who took part! The Taiwanese LibreOffice community created an awesome promotional video for LibreOffice Viewer. Check it out below – and download the app from the Play Store or F-Droid.

Marketing activities so far in 2017: Mike Saunders

Thanks to donations to The Document Foundation, along with valued contributions from our community, we maintain a small team working on various aspects of LibreOffice including documentation, user interface design, quality assurance, release engineering and marketing. Together with Italo Vignoli, I help with the latter, and today I’ll summarise some of the achievements so far in 2017. Videos The year started off with preparations for LibreOffice 5.3, a major release that arrived on February 1st. We’ve found that videos are a great way to demonstrate new features to end users – and news websites often embed them as well. So I created a series of New Features videos for LibreOffice 5.3 covering the suite as a whole, along with Writer, Calc and Impress. So far they’ve had over 150,000 views in total: Please confirm that you want to play a YouTube video.

Interview with Florian Effenberger, TDF Executive Director

The typical day of an executive director My work consists of both administrative tasks – like accounting, correspondence, budget and contractual topics – as well as overseeing our team and making projects come to life. Whenever I have some spare time, I try to contribute to the German native-language community, the marketing project and our infrastructure. The e-mail flow is quite massive with a couple of hundreds e-mails per day coming in as personal messages as well as on dozens of mailing lists, so my morning usually starts with prioritizing tasks and mails to structure my day’s work. 2016 so far for LibreOffice and for TDF: your personal perspective 2016 has been an extremely exciting year for us. LibreOffice adoption is continously growing, so is the community, and we welcomed several new members to our Advisory Board. Lots of events around the world took place, and every year when we compile the annual report it becomes obvious how much enthusiasm, dedication and passion our contributors have for LibreOffice. What do you see as the most important challenges for TDF in 2017 and beyond? During the last years, TDF has grown, which comes with costs in terms especially of time to

A huge thanks to our donors

Donations to The Document Foundation have been steadily growing for the last three years, thanks to the generosity of many thousands of people around the world. In 2016, donations have been 82,036 (a 14.2% increase over 2015). In 2015, donations have been 71,839 (a 9.5% increase over 2014). In 2014, donations have been 65,579. Donations are key to our project, as they provide the economic resources to keep the organization and the infrastructure running, to fund activities such as participation of volunteers to FOSDEM and the LibreOffice Conference, and to help local activities organized locally by native language projects. You can find examples of activities funded by donations money in the annual report: http://tdf.io/report2015. Without donations, The Document Foundation could not be an independent community led project. Thanks again to all donors.

Mike’s marketing activities, July – December 2016

Donations to The Document Foundation help us to maintain a small team, working on various areas of the project including documentation, user interface design, quality assurance, release engineering and marketing. I help out with the latter, and as we come towards the end of 2016, I want to talk about some of the things I’ve been working on in the last six months. It’s been a really busy time, with a new release of LibreOffice, our conference and many other events and updates. And 2017 promises to be even better! But first, I’d like to provide a bit of background on my typical working day. The first thing I do is catch up on discussions from the previous day. As you probably know, LibreOffice has many mailing lists covering all aspects of the project and community. I’ve signed up to “digest” subscriptions for some of them – so I get a summary at the end of each day. This is helpful for pinpointing topics of interest. Also useful are minutes from meetings, such as the design team or the Engineering Steering Committee (ESC). Next, I check our IRC channels to see what’s going on, and what are the hot topics
