''Overhauled the Gnumeric import filter to fix bugs and add missing features''

Although, I am not in need for this feature, it is great to know since the #gnumeric development appears a bit stalled. L

LibreOffice documentation updates! Our Czech localisation community has finished translating the Impress Guide 7.5, covering the presentation component of the suite: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


LibreOffice can open files in a wide range of formats – but its native one is the Open Document Format (ODF). And now there's an update to the ODF Toolkit, a set of Java modules for programmatic creation, scanning and manipulation of ODF files: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #libreoffice #standards #foss #OpenSource


LibreOffice's documentation is made by a worldwide community – and now, that community has an improved editor, to make their work simpler! blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource


2024 is here! But let's have a quick recap of #LibreOffice project and community updates in December 2023: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


As we wrap up 2023, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to #LibreOffice in the last year! We really appreciate your support 😊 blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


This is neat! In our place the rule is even 1.5m clearance for overtaking within city boundaries and 2m on country roads. But that‘s pure theory, as most car drivers don‘t know or care about this rule. (And we don’t have an official sign for it.)

As to #FOSS here, I know about (though have never used) the openbikesensor.org hardware that measures these distances in real life. Also very interesting!

Moin @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord – kanntet ihr schon mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes.htm… ? Irgendwer in Hamburg hat da jedenfalls schon einige (noch nicht alle) eingetragen.

Bin drauf gestupst worden, als ich gestern vorm Start der CM mit @pietervdvn von @MapComplete ins Gespräch kam, der zum #37C3 hier ist. – Ich glaube, es gibt ziemlich viele faszinierende Schnittpunkte zwischen #FOSS, #VerkehrsWende und #Aktivismus überhaupt :)


Prefer to recommend that folks install #Conversations, #Cheogram, and other forks from F-Droid:

LibreOffice is available in a huge number of languages, thanks to communities around the world! Check out the recent Localization Sprint 2023 in Nepal: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #libreoffice #foss #OpenSource


In my talks and discussions about the role of Open Source maintainers, I usually list a number of reasons why maintainers might quit or otherwise reduce their involvement.

"The Russian army destroyed my house" hasn't been on that list yet 😐 🇺🇦

Our next big update is #LibreOffice 24.2 in February (with new "year.month" version scheme). And here's one of the new features: extra description text in the Special Characters dropdown menu, added by Jim Raykowski: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re… #foss #OpenSource


Did you know? You can add new features to #LibreOffice using Python, and make extensions! Our development blog explains all: dev.blog.documentfoundation.or… #foss #OpenSource


Coming up in February: #LibreOffice 24.2, our next big update, with many new features! (And a new "year.month" version scheme, to make it clear when it was released.) The first Beta version is now available for testing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #OpenSource


Suraj Bhattarai is our Liaison in the Nepali community. And together with other local open source communities, he recently concluded the "#LibreOffice Localisation Sprint 2023". Awesome work! More to come on our blog soon... #foss #opensource


Coming up in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release (with new "year.month" version scheme): big improvements to the Navigator, thanks to Jim Raykowski! Hidden headings are now greyed out, and nested sections can now be collapsed, just like headings: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re… #foss #OpenSource


Say hello to all these people, who contributed their free time to #LibreOffice in November! These are their names and usernames from our projects – more details on our wiki: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Ba… #foss #opensource


it's very late but a huge thank you to you and the whole #rockbox crew who put in this effort. I love love loved it back in the day and very much appreciated the #foss model being a disruptor in the proprietary media player marketplace


And here's an update from #LibreOffice's QA (Quality Assurance) community – what they achieved in November: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource


New from our documentation community – the #LibreOffice Calc Guide 7.6: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource

Well, that is not good. I have never found a better Gallery application. I also use Calendar and Clock from them. I hope forked apps will be on @fdroidorg at least.

I am amazed that the history is so deep and reach. From talking to government ministers and training policymakers on #OpenSource, to building code and software for Nepalese users, Nepal is not new to the #FOSS movement.

I am learning so much about the ambition from the local movement!


We're back for Day 2 of #GNOMEAsia2023 with the opening keynote by Hempal Shrestha. He is introducing the past, present, and future of the #OpenSource community in Nepal.

I love how this is starting: a steward of the culture and the movement in #Nepal painting a picture of how the local movement got to where it is today, the successes, and the challenges. There are so many students here. Inspiring the next generation for folks who are coming in and are hungry for more #FOSS.


Our next big release will be #LibreOffice 24.2, in February 2024! (We're moving to a "year.month" version scheme, to make it more clear when the software was released.) And the first Alpha development build is now available for testing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource


We recently attended the ICTer International Conference in Sri Lanka, to present #LibreOffice during a keynote speech, and to manage a two day workshop about LibreOffice and the Migration Protocol: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


Lots going on in the #LibreOffice project: new releases of the software, documentation updates, meetups and much more! Here's our recap for November: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource

#LibreOffice 24.2 will be our next major update, coming in February! 🎉 (New versioning scheme, to show the year and month when it's released.) A big new feature is styles for comments, added by Maxim Monastirsky: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re… #foss #OpenSource


ForgeFed nails the current dilemma in open source:

> Without federation, we end up having to choose between:
>
> * Centralizing into huge profit-oriented websites, where we're powerless
> * Hosting our code on a small website where we're in control and freedom but isolated from the community

This is a critically important project.
