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

@openuk I'd love to see this Mastodon profile up here stateofopencon.com/advisory-bo…

Even better, I'd love to see the links to their Mastodon accounts.

We really have no idea how much longer Twitter (or X) will exist.

@fwd50 has already leveraged it this year.

Plus, #Mastodon is #OpenSource so ...


The #EuropeanCommission is finally considering whether "#OpenSource software (#OSS)…can be used as a foundation for developing the new #publishing platform" for EC-funded #OpenAccess research.
op.europa.eu/en/publication-de…

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.

LibreOffice supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption for OpenDocument Format (ODF) files.

Select File > Save/Save As

The "Save with password" option encrypts the file with AES-256.
The "Encrypt with GPG key" option encrypts the file with a public key.

Symmetric encryption: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetri…
Asymmetric encryption: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-k…

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.


Now, @Aryan20 is presenting at #GNOMEAsia2023 about @gnome extensions and the ecosystem. How do extensions fit into the desktop scene?

He builds on his work done as a #GSoC intern and why the flexibility and customization of the desktop grows the success of the #OpenSource ecosystem.


#GNOMEAsia2023 starts in just a few hours! We're excited to see everyone in person in Kathmandu and online! Make sure you're registered and check your email for links and access codes to join us remotely:

People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?

There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: projects.blender.org/blender/b…

They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

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

How do open source projects get things done? How do they retain contributors, attract users, and make technical decisions? All this (and more!) falls under the auspice of "governance". Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.
