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.

Annual Report: The Document Foundation in 2022

In 2022 we had with elections for the foundation’s Membership Committee, along with regular Advisory Board calls, and support for other projects and activities (This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2022 – we’ll post the full version here soon.) Election of new Membership Committee The mission of the Membership Committee (MC) is to administer membership applications and renewals following the criteria defined in The Document Foundation’s Foundation’s Statutes. It initiates and supervises the election of the Board of Directors, and The Board of Trustees elects from among its members the Membership Committee for a period of two years. In August, we had live town-hall meetings with the Membership Committee candidates, in multiple timezones, to ensure that as many people as possible (both candidates and TDF members) could take part and ask their questions. We made video recordings of these meetings, and posted them on our video channels and blog, for those who couldn’t take part live: Please confirm that you want to play a YouTube video.

Microsoft 365 price hike in Germany? LibreOffice to the rescue!

Microsoft plans to raise the prices of its office software in Germany – and other services – significantly (article in German here). And not just once, but every six months there are to be “price adjustments”. This is of course a problem for many businesses, organisations, schools and local governments that have limited resources. But it is also a good time to explore alternatives like LibreOffice. LibreOffice is a free (as in zero cost) office suite, but it also offers fundamental freedoms to study, modify and share the software. Businesses benefit from the software’s data protection and security, and they can also take advantage of professional support. Other advantages: LibreOffice can be installed in parallel with Microsoft Office for testing purposes The German Federal Office for IT security has issued recommendations for secure configuration of LibreOffice In larger environments, LibreOffice can be distributed centrally to users Free software apps strengthen independence from individual providers and reduce vendor lock-in Many companies and organisations have already switched to LibreOffice, so why not take a look?
