Parabolas as custom shapes in LibreOffice

Regina Henschel writes… Teachers of mathematics often need a parabola in their instructions or exercises. Creating a parabola by using a chart is cumbersome. Therefore I have generated some parabolas as custom shape for anyone to use. You can get them in this LibreOffice Writer document. A simple parabola A parabola with focus And a parabola with tangent, where you can drag the point of contact The parabola-shapes are contained in a document. You can copy and paste a shape from there to your document or you can drag the shapes into your Gallery. The document contains in addition some explanations how the shapes were generated. You can download the document from the wiki. I hope you find the shapes useful!

The Guia do Writer 7.1 is finally here.

Translation courtesy of Timothy Brennan Jr. Brazilian computer users in general, the community of Brazilian free software users and supporters, and of LibreOffice in particular, have received quite the gift today: the Brazilian LibreOffice documentation team proudly announces the publication of the Guia do Writer 7.1, the most complete Writer word processor guide for the best free software office suite, the LibreOffice Community. The Guia do Writer 7.1 is an extensive 570-page volume covering the most advanced text-editing techniques, from simple typing of a page to assembling multi-volume documents, including electronic forms, illustrations, tables, indexes and summaries, automation and export to numerous file formats. The guide is the LibreOffice Brazilian documentation team’s contribution to the public. The team has used automatic translation followed by a thorough manual review correcting terms, drafting and stylistics of the Portuguese language, as well as proofreading. While rereading the content, the team is able to check the accuracy of the techniques described in the documentation and review the terminology used in the software, signaling to the LibreOffice translation team the inconsistencies found in the interface suggesting improvements in terms, changes in the vocabulary of the commands and correction of the software Help Pages. This feedback has served

LibreOffice 7.2 Community is strong on interoperability

Over 60% of code commits for the brand new version of the best free and open source office suite are focused on interoperability with Microsoft’s proprietary file formats Berlin, August 19, 2021 – LibreOffice 7.2 Community, the new major release of the volunteer-supported free office suite for desktop productivity, is available from https://www.libreoffice.org/download. Based on the LibreOffice Technology platform for personal productivity on desktop, mobile and cloud, it provides a large number of interoperability improvements with Microsoft’s proprietary file formats. In addition, LibreOffice 7.2 Community offers numerous performance improvements in handling large files, opening certain DOCX and XLSX files, managing font caching, and opening presentations and drawings that contain large images. There are also drawing speed improvements when using the Skia back-end that was introduced with LibreOffice 7.1. LibreOffice 7.2 is now available natively for Apple Silicon, a series of processors designed by Apple and based on the ARM architecture. Because of the early phase of development on this specific platform, binaries are provided but should not be used for any critical purpose at this stage. Software will be available from the following page: https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.2.0/mac/aarch64/.

Community Member Monday: Jessé Moreira

Love LibreOffice too? Want to help us spread the word about it, and other free and open source software (FOSS) projects? Then we appreciate your help! Everyone can raise awareness about the importance of FOSS and open standards, like the OpenDocument Format, LibreOffice’s native format. For instance, Jessé Moreira from the Brazilian Portuguese LibreOffice community has created a set of tutorial videos. Here’s what he has to say: Hello! I am a high school math teacher. I love LibreOffice and make videos demonstrating educational software applications. I have a channel that talks about libreoffice in Portuguese on Odysee and YouTube. I intend to continue promoting LibreOffice by recording videos and contributing to the incredible project. Greetings from Brazil! Thanks, Jessé! We have more videos created by other community members too. Recently, we talked to Harald Berger from the German community about how he makes his tutorials. To anyone reading this who also wants to contribute videos in their language, drop us a line and let’s work together! And one more thing: Jessé recently became a Member of The Document Foundation, the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice. This means that he can help to steer the project and vote for the Board

Tender to implement support for editing and creation of a Dynamic Diagram feature (#202108-02)

The Document Foundation (TDF) is the charitable entity behind the world’s leading free/libre open source (FLOSS) office suite LibreOffice. We are looking for an individual or company to implement support for editing and creation of Dynamic Diagrams. The work has to be developed on LibreOffice master, so that it will be released in the next major version. The task is to solve the following problem: Our existing “SmartArt” import uses the fallback stream in OOX files (and has some issues). It therefore gives us only the draw shapes that are imported, so we lose the original layout. Additionally, in older file versions we don’t have the cached shapes, and therefore can’t render anything. The solution we seek, and as such the scope of this tender, is to have a schema driven diagram layout as a core feature. This should be interoperable with OOX (at least MSO2016) and have suitable extensions for ODF. It should layout interoperability, and allow editing of the underlying data, and selection of a schema. The tender consists of the packages A) Import and export in ODF and OOXML load/save diagram data (layout and data model) show the diagram in a cross-platform and pixel-perfect way this should

LibreOffice project monthly recap: June 2021

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! In the end, 406 contributors won sticker packs – making it the most successful ever. And we had some extra merchandise to give away too! On June 10, LibreOffice 7.1.4 Community was made available for download, with 80 bugfixes and compatibility improvements. Thanks as always to our volunteers and certified developers for their work on it! In technology news, The Document Foundation announced and updated three tenders during the month: implement automated ODF filter regression testing, implement master document fixes and implement Curl based HTTP/WebDAV UCP. If you have some C++ coding knowledge and experience with LibreOffice’s codebase, take a look. In June we also posted some sections from our Annual Report 2020: Documentation Team Activities, Website, blogs and social media and Attracting new contributors to LibreOffice. Hossein Nourikhah joined the TDF team as Developer Community Architect. He’ll help to onboard new developers in the project, give them code pointers, and assist them as they add new features. Welcome, Hossein! Meanwhile, ODF 1.3 was announced as an OASIS standard. ODF (OpenDocument Format) is
