@zleap Hi Paul! This year it's on the 27th: https://digitalfreedoms.org/dfd 😊

#LibreOffice isn't just a piece of software – it's a worldwide community, working on #UX, #QA, marketing, documentation and translations. And thanks to that community, we now have a Czech version of the LibreOffice Writer Guide 24.2 🥰 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/25/czech-translation-of-libreoffice-writer-guide-24-2/ #foss #opensource

@wilhelm @Raaf For us, we see "Preview not available - Click to open" for the picture. And when we click it, "The Photo with id 129767158665fc1a166d977123024150 is not available." – So probably another issue, as we only have one pinned post 😉

@wilhelm @Raaf Looking at https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice we only see one pinned post (for the new major release). Where do you see the conference post? Can you share a screenshot please?

@Raaf No, we haven't. You're looking at a pinned post about the latest major release, so that will always be at the top of our feed, until the next major release 😊

@serpicojam Hi! Without more details (LibreOffice version, operating system, document format, and the exact issues you're having) it's hard to say. You can try asking on https://ask.libreoffice.org and see if anyone has a solution! 👍

Looking for a career change – maybe in technical writing? Join the #LibreOffice documentation community, and improve our help content and guidebooks!

@philomaine Because the guides are for LibreOffice 24.2, which we released in February 😉

@erikwesselius Yes, correct! For 24.2, we've moved to a "year.month" versioning scheme, to make it more clear to end-users how new (or old!) their version is. Otherwise, our release schedule stays the same – a major update every six months.

New guidebooks, for our shiny new #LibreOffice 24.2 release! Get the most out of Writer and Calc: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/12/libreoffice-24-4-shines-again-writer-24-2-and-calc-24-2-guides-published/ #foss #opensource

Last month, #LibreOffice's QA community resolved 419 bug reports! Learn more, and give them a hand: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/03/11/qa-dev-report-february-2024/

@gilles Hi! You can read about improvements in our release notes. Of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources – so the best way to get bugs fixed more quickly is to join the project, or consider funding a developer! Thanks 😊

Our Nepali Community celebrated the #LibreOffice 24.2 Release Party with CS50x Nepal students 🥳 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/08/nepali-community-celebrates-libreoffice-24-2-release-party-with-cs50x-nepal-students/ #foss #opensource

@danielpree Soon 😉 We're still maintaining the LibreOffice 7.6 branch there, but are working on getting 24.2 into the stores...

@eibhear This was discussed on our marketing channels, but the main reason is to make users more aware of how new/old their version is. Something like "LibreOffice 7.6" doesn't really say anything – but "year.month" has more relevance to end-users. We had requests for this, and some other open source projects use it too (most notably Ubuntu).

Of course, one version scheme won't satisfy everyone, but we think this is more meaningful for end-users.

#LibreOffice 24.2 is our latest big update, with many new features, including password strength indication when saving encrypted files. Find out more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/31/libreoffice-24-2/ #foss #opensource

Our community was at #FOSDEM 2024 in Brussels, to talk about #LibreOffice, answer questions, and hand out cool merchandise! 😊 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/04/libreoffice-at-fosdem-2024/

#LibreOffice 24.2 is our latest big update, with many new features. For instance, the special characters dropdown now shows description text. Find out more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/31/libreoffice-24-2/ #foss #opensource

@AnokLola No – the release schedule stays the same (a major update every six months). Only the version numbering has changed, to make the number reflect the release date.

Regarding bug reports and feature suggestions, please use https://bugs.documentfoundation.org. Of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources, so the best way to get new features is to join our community and help to implement them 😊
