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 December by announcing the winners in the Month of LibreOffice, November 2023. 363 contributors were eligible to claim sticker packs – and we gave out some bonus merch to 10 special winners too! Then we talked to Robert Cabane, who’s helping out in LibreOffice’s QA community. On December 5, our documentation community announced the LibreOffice Calc Guide 7.6, reflecting the changes and updates in the newest version of the suite. Great work, everyone! 💪 We had two updates for the software in December: LibreOffice 7.6.4 and 7.5.9. All users are recommended to download and install the latest releases. Meanwhile, we prepared a Security Backgrounder document that describes – in language accessible to everyone, including non-security specialists – the impressive work done by developers and quality assurance specialists in the area of LibreOffice security. The second of our community interviews was with Dominique Prieur, who gives courses on LibreOffice and is working with the Orléans prison in France to develop office automation workshops. Suraj Bhattarai, our Liaison for the LibreOffice Nepali Community, sent us a

Announcement of LibreOffice 7.6.3 Community and LibreOffice Viewer app for Android in the Google Play Store

Berlin, November 23, 2023 – LibreOffice 7.6.3 Community, the third minor release of the 7.6 family of the volunteer-supported free office suite for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple and Intel processors) and Linux is now available from our download page. At the same time, the LibreOffice Viewer app for Android is back in the Google Play Store, to view documents based on the standard Open Document Format and the proprietary Microsoft Office format. It joins the F-Droid version which has been available for some time. LibreOffice is the only open source office suite for personal productivity which can be compared feature-by-feature with the market leader. LibreOffice offers the highest level of compatibility in the office suite market segment, with native support for the Open Document Format (ODF) – beating proprietary formats for security and robustness – to superior support for Microsoft Office files, along with filters for a large number of legacy document formats, to return ownership and control to users. Based on the advanced features of the LibreOffice Technology platform for personal productivity on desktop, mobile and cloud, LibreOffice provides a large number of new features targeted at users sharing documents with or migrating from Microsoft Office

LibreOffice project and community recap: September 2023

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 by highlighting upcoming events: the LibreOffice Conference 2023 (which has now finished – more on that in a moment); the Latin American Conference, and LibreOffice Conf.Asia. Next up, we had a bunch of LibreOffice Expert magazines to give away to schools and local communities. They’ve all been claimed now, but if you still want a copy, you can get one from the publisher. On September 11, we announced 1.5 million downloads of the new LibreOffice 7.6 family! And we had some more stats to share too… Then our Documentation community announced the LibreOffice Writer Guide 7.6 – an essential accompaniment to the software. Great work, everyone 😊 This year, LibreOffice was once again a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), a global program focused on bringing more student developers into free and open source software development. Five projects were finished successfully. Students and mentors enjoyed the time, and we presented some of the achievements, which should make their way into LibreOffice 24.2 in early February 2024! The biggest event

Announcement of LibreOffice 7.6 Community

Berlin, August 21, 2023 – LibreOffice 7.6 Community, the new major release of the volunteer-supported free office suite for desktop productivity, and the last based on the historical release numbering scheme (first digit for release cycle, second digit for major release), is immediately available from www.libreoffice.org/download for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple and Intel processors), and Linux. Starting from 2024, TDF will adopt calendar based-release numbering, so the next major release will be LibreOffice 24.2 in February 2024. LibreOffice is the only open source office suite for personal productivity which can be compared feature-by-feature with the market leader. After twelve years and five release cycles – code cleaning, code refactoring, polishing the user interface, extending to new hardware and software platforms, and optimizing interoperability with OOXML to support users – it is increasingly difficult to develop entirely new features, so most of them are refinements or improvements of existing ones. Highlights of LibreOffice 7.6 Community GENERAL Support for zoom gestures when using touchpads in the main view. Support for document themes, and import and export of theme definitions for ODF and OOXML documents. Many improvements to font handling, especially for right-to-left scripts, CJK and other Asian alphabets. WRITER

LibreOffice Marketing Activities – Annual Report 2022

In 2022, 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 2022 – we’ll post the full version here soon.) LibreOffice Strategic Marketing Plan We have invested in the deployment of the Strategic Marketing Plan, with additional activities such as the release of generic presentations about The Document Foundation (History, and Digital Sovereignty), LibreOffice (Technology, also with comments, and Sustainability) and Open Document Format (Generic, ODF and Interoperability, and OOXML Issues), to be used by community members. Videos who help to personalize a slide deck according to the audience are also available. We have also released a White Paper about LibreOffice Technology, to explain the evolution of LibreOffice from a single desktop product to a product based technology for individual or enterprise productivity, which is the foundation for a series of products optimized for different platforms, such as desktop, mobile and the cloud. To underline the importance of the LibreOffice Technology concept, a specific logo has been created, to make visually easier to associate all products based on this technology platform. A second
