LibreOffice marketing activities in 2023 – TDF’s Annual Report

In 2023, the marketing team continued the deployment of the Strategic Marketing Plan, without overlooking ongoing activities to promote LibreOffice and support the efforts of native language communities (This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2023 – we’ll post the full version here soon.) Slide Decks and Videos for Marketing Purposes We updated presentations on The Document Foundation (project history and digital sovereignty), LibreOffice (technology, including commentary, and sustainability) and Open Document Format (standard format, ODF and interoperability, and OOXML issues) for use by community members. Videos are also available to help tailor a presentation to the audience. We updated the LibreOffice Technology White Paper, which explains the evolution of LibreOffice from a single desktop product to a product-based technology for personal or enterprise productivity that is the foundation for a series of products optimised for different platforms, such as desktop, mobile and cloud. To emphasise the importance of the LibreOffice technology concept, a specific logo has been created to make it visually easier to associate all products based on this technology platform. We also created a Security Backgrounder that describes – in a language accessible to everyone, even non-security specialists – the impressive work done by

LibreOffice in 2023 – TDF’s Annual Report

In 2023, LibreOffice celebrated its thirteenth birthday. Two new major versions of the suite introduced a variety of new features, while minor releases helped to improve stability as well (This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2023 – we’ll post the full version here soon.) LibreOffice 7.5 On February 2, LibreOffice 7.5 was officially released after six months of work. Developers at Collabora, allotropia, CIB, Red Hat, NISZ, The Document Foundation (TDF) and other companies and organisations – along with volunteers – worked on many new features. For instance, there were huge improvements to the dark mode thanks to Caolán McNamara (Red Hat), Rafael Lima, Michael Weghorn, Rizal Muttaqin and others. The single toolbar was updated by Maxim Monastirsky, while Michael Stahl (allotropia) added code so that images, embedded objects and text frames could be marked as decorative, which allows assistive technology to ignore them in exported PDFs. On top of the new features, there were many other general improvements to performance, compatibility and stability. With the help of the Indonesian community, TDF produced a video to explain and demonstrate many of the new features in LibreOffice 7.5. This was linked to in the announcement, and embedded
