@RexTodon No worries 😉 Even duplicates help us to see how many people are affected by an issue...

Did you know? #LibreOffice supports document classification according to TSCP standards: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/classification.html #foss #opensource

@heind Hi! You can already get these features in LibreOffice by sourcing it from the wider ecosystem: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/ – But we understand that some people want it in the app directly from The Document Foundation. We (TDF) have very limited resources and focus on the desktop app, but we have some ideas for collaborative features coming up...

News from #LibreOffice's Quality Assurance (#QA) and Development communities: in March, they resolved 429 bug reports. Learn more, and give them a hand: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/04/11/qa-dev-report-march-2024/ #foss #OpenSource

Love ❤️ #LibreOffice? Come and meet the worldwide community that makes it, at local events! For instance, we were recently at the InstallFest 2024 conference in Prague: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/10/insights-from-the-installfest-2024-conference-in-prague/ #foss #OpenSource

@AKUtrecht Any reason why you're using OpenOffice? Its last major update was in 2014, and it's had problems fixing security updates on time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – Hence why virtually all development (and all Linux distros) moved to LibreOffice in the last decade, as it's far more actively maintained, with a ton of important fixes...

Calling all #LibreOffice users: Power up ⚡ and become a LibreOffice contributor, like Adam Seskunas! Learn new skills, build a portfolio of experience, and have fun on the way: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/08/community-member-monday-adam-seskunas/ #foss #OpenSource

@catavz A long, long time ago – a lot has changed since then. And many would argue that it didn't succeed for political reasons, rather than technical: https://itsfoss.com/munich-linux-failure/

Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #privacy

@jak2k @stragu They are volunteer participants in an event, who brought their own laptops to learn about LibreOffice. Should the event organisers have turned away interested students who wanted to learn about LibreOffice and FOSS, because they brought Windows laptops with them?

Lots happening in the #LibreOffice project! In March, we had updates to the software, new user guides, Document Freedom Day, reports from meetups and more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/02/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-march-2024/ #foss #opensource

@Waxingtonknee Thanks for the feedback! Many end-users requested a version number that has more meaning, ie "year.month", which they find simpler and more meaningful than two arbitrary numbers. Sorry you find it confusing, but we think it's helpful to show users immediately how old (or new!) their version is, with the clear "year.month" scheme.

@apemantus Should be working now 😉

#LibreOffice’s #localization community translates the software’s user interface, along with its documentation and websites. We ran a survey to find out what tools the community uses, and how we can improve them: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/29/results-from-our-survey-of-libreoffice-localisation-tooling-and-workflows/ #foss #opensource

@selfpublisher Probably with the LibreOffice 24.2.3 release, in a few weeks, for some extra testing!

Today we're releasing #LibreOffice 24.2.2, the second update to our new 24.2 branch (with "year.month" version scheme). We've also updated the previous and older LibreOffice 7.6 branch too: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/28/libreoffice-24-2-2-and-7-6-6-community/ #foss #opensource #news

@zudn @Ray_Of_Sunlight @hack_the_planet Not at the moment, but there's other merch that you can buy here, to support us: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/merchandise/

@Ray_Of_Sunlight @hack_the_planet Join the next Month of LibreOffice (in May) and you have a chance to win one 😉 Stay tuned to our blog for details: https://blog.documentfoundation.org

Today is Document Freedom Day 2024! Let's spread the word about open standards and open formats, like #LibreOffice uses, to ensure everyone can get access to their data – whatever apps we choose to use: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/27/celebrating-document-freedom-day-2024/

@hack_the_planet Glad you like it 😊
