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
Version 0.4.0 (Codename „All Engines Running“) of Ltt.rs not only brings support for #UnifiedPush but also a UI refresh. The e-mail client for Android now supports Material U / dynamic colors.
Note that Ltt.rs requires an e-mail server that supports #JMAP. (There aren’t many providers that support it so Ltt.rs is currently more for the adventurous / self hosting type user.)
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
LibreOffice 24.2 – with a new year.month versioning scheme – will be released as final at the beginning of February, 2024 ( Check the Release Plan ) being LibreOffice 24.2 Beta1 the second pre-release since the development of version 24.
Walled gardens might be OK for plants, but not for email. Did you know our average donation in 2023 so far is $17.44? For the price of a bouquet, you can donate to help liberate email from corporate walled gardens, and help privacy bloom. 🌻 Rest assured, ANY donation amount makes a difference! mzla.link/eoy23_masto
I am forever grateful to the people who contribute images to Wikimedia Commons and make them available under CC0 licenses. It's a tremendous resource for open-source projects, where typically you don't have the funding to pay for the rights to use a stock image from one of the commercial services.
Today I wanted an image of a baler (a farm machine that makes bales of hay) for use in a new software project, and found a nice one by Glendon Kuhns.

▶️ $17.44 ◀️ That’s the average donation to Thunderbird so far in 2023. A gift roughly the price of a pizza helps provide jobs. It helps us bring Thunderbird to iOS and Android even faster. It helps us develop new features. It substantially improves our sustainability.
YOU have that power! YOU can help give people a free, ethical alternative to corporate giants and walled gardens. Please donate today, and help Thunderbird thrive: mzla.link/eoy23_masto

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.
Open Research Europe (ORE) is the peer-reviewed open-access publishing platform of the European Commission. It follows the post-publication peer review model to promote scientific transparency and reuse.

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.
#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: events.gnome.org/event/170/ove…
Blender on Linux is already available as a Snap package. Flatpak seems to be the more popular format at least on non-Ubuntu based distributions, so it would sense to officially support it as well.
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
LibreOffice 24.2 will be released as final at the beginning of February, 2024 ( Check the Release Plan ) being LibreOffice 24.2 Alpha1 the first pre-release since the development of version 24.2 started in mid June, 2023.
