Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started March by announcing the new Board of Directors at The Document Foundation, the non-profit entity behind…
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: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #news
As the spring season unfolds, bringing with it a sense of renewal and growth, we at DORS/CLUC 2024 are excited to share some exhilarating news with our esteemed community.
#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 🥰 blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource
Zdeněk Crhonek (aka “raal”) from the Czech LibreOffice community writes: The Czech team has finished translating the LibrePffice Writer Guide 24.2. As usual it was a team effort, with translations by Petr Kuběj, Radomír Strnad and Zdeněk Crhonek.
I'm so sorry that you are subjected to this level of venom regularly. In an attempt to be a less silent majority, I would like more of us to speak up and appreciate the hard work that goes into #foss maintenance. Thanks for a wonderful tool that a BILLION people use, that's remarkable!
It's no lie that the Linux desktop has been changing greatly. Through technological and social shifts, the desktop and community we know today is a far cry f...
I had the pleasure to talk at #installfest in #prague today. That was a great experience. I hope my talk about #Thunderbird convinced at least one person to contribute to #Foss. I even met Mitch Altman, who it turns out uses the email client for a long time.
That's great news! Pekko was created as a Fork of Akka 2.6, right after Lightbend chose to pull a bait-and-switch by relicensing Akka to a non-FOSS license.
I have already switched to Pekko a few months ago, it went very smooth, and I am grateful to everybody involved in making this happen.
We’re seeking input from #FOSS maintainers as we design a fellowship program pilot. We want to test a support mechanism that addresses structural issues in the FOSS ecosystem, and support maintainers who work on open digital infrastructure in the public interest.
If you maintain open source projects, we would be very grateful if you could take ten minutes to respond to the survey: survey.sovereigntechfund.de/96…
Please also repost and share with FOSS maintainers you know. Thanks!
Looking for a career change – maybe in technical writing? Join the #LibreOffice documentation community, and improve our help content and guidebooks! You can pick up valuable experience along the way. Dione Maddern explains more: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource
Today we’re talking to Dione Maddern, who helps out in LibreOffice’s documentation team… Tell us a bit about yourself! I’m 44. Originally from Brisbane, Australia but I currently live in Baltimore, on the East Coast of the USA.
The LibreOffice Community Documentation Team is happy to announce the immediate release of the latest Writer and Calc guides for the new LibreOffice 24.2 office suite. The two books are updates of the respective LibreOffice 7.
NV Access are pleased to share the release of NVDA 2024.1 Beta 13.
Changes introduced in Beta 13: - Bug fix for interacting with some NVDA controls such as the synth selection dialog and selectable checklist items - Updates to translations
Beta13 of NVDA 2024.1 is now available for download and testing. For anyone who is interested in trying out what the next version of NVDA has to offer before it is officially released, we welcome y…
So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.
- LÖVR @lovr A framework for rapidly building immersive 3D experiences. - NV Access @NVAccess A screen reader. - BiznisBox @biznisbox A web app for managing invoices, clients, & payments. - BookStack @bookstack Documentation system.
The #GUADEC2024 call for abstracts for those looking to be *sponsored* has passed (due to visa reqs & travel lead time), BUT the call for both in-person (if you don’t need sponsorship) and remote talks IS STILL OPEN!
If you’ve been working on something interesting in GNOME or GNOME-adjacent spaces and can present remotely or get yourself to Denver in July, you still have just over two weeks to propose a talk!

Spectral Compressor. It's incredible that FOSS audio production tools are at a level where top EDM producers make videos about them. Props to au5 for acknowledging that it's not just free, but also open-source.

You've heard of WE RATE DOGS, but are you ready for WE RATE LAPTOP LIDS? 💻😄
Maybe your laptop is decorated with stickers from your favorite #FOSS projects or Linux distros. Maybe it's adorned with your favorite bands, characters, comics, or coffee shops.
Or maybe it's just a sticker of your awesome silly face, like this one from Thunderbird's own @brendan (Shows restraint, perfect centering, makes us laugh: 11/10).

“Improved build validation, increased moderation, and the long-awaited switch to libappstream” by @barthalion
Heads up to app developers: Flathub’s automatic build validation is more thorough now, and includes checks for issues we previously would have only flagged manually. There’s a chance that if your app has been passing continuous integration checks previously, it will fail now; here’s why, and what to do about it:

Hey Fedi! We're hosting a panel at SCALE 21x with some of the major players in the Linux desktop ecosystem to discuss where we go from here, any big ideas you want us to discuss?
Most of the questions in the document will not be covered. The questions are meant to serve as discussion starters for each topic to be used as the conversation permits.
The next beta version of #Signal will be version 7.0.0. There's a good reason for the round number. This will be the first version where usernames and phone number privacy are available outside of the staging environment. From this version on, you'll be able to talk to people on Signal without revealing your phone number, and also, you may use Signal without revealing to people who have your number saved that you do. This is huge. github.com/signalapp/Signal-An…
